AGS it 'Nr- Z at-Iwi! . , , I L A mf V 'ip .G - A A CYNTHIA ELIZABETH REILEY, Professor ANNA F. CARTER. PLS. ,... Assistant The department of Mathematics was one of the original departments of the University, being organized when the University began its existence. Professor Reiley was elected on June 3. 1895. at the same time that the elec- tion of Doctor Craig, as President, took place. The work began in this depart- ment on September 12. 1895, and has continued with Professor Reiley serving continuously as the head of the department. This department has grown with the University and the most gratifying feature is the increase in the number of students doing the elective work. The aim of the department can best be stated in the words used by Pro- fessor Reiley in one of her reports to the President. She says: The aim of the instruction in this department is to develop the habit of exact, Continued and independent reasoningg to cultivate the imaginationg to train the student to apply theory to practical problemsg to secure accuracy and rapidity in numerical computationsg to develop the habit of Concise, logi- cal statement of argument and conclusiong and to furnish the facts necessary for the student in the pursuit of studies having a mathematical basis. -N.
