J '?..l+.L63I!:R Department of Mathematics The beginning of the Department of Mathematics dates ' from the first year of the Seminary, when Colborn's First Lessons and Adam's New Arithmetic were required for admission, and Playfair's Euclid and Day's Algebra were studied the first two years. In 1854. a course in trigonometry was added, early in the eighties was introduced Professor Olney's series of text-books, and students were encouraged to attempt general geometry and calculus. Several years before the announcement of electives in the catalogue is found the statement, Further mathematical instruction is provided if desired. At the present time the required work of the Freshman year may be followed by twenty elective courses, giving lifty hours of credit and covering the Held of Mathematics from the elements of analytic geometry and calculus to modern geometry, applications of the calculus and the theory of functions. Mount Holyoke was one of the first colleges to offer work in the history of mathematics, the subject being included in the requirements for a major as early as I8Q2. Besides the well-known histories the department library contains a valuable collection of famous mathematical works belonging to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The equipment also includes sets of plaster and thread models for illustration in the various courses. MISS SMITH WSARAH EIPFIE SMITH, B.S., Proferxor B.

If Y A-A sY.v. J 'Q Q 12 .LLANLQRAD S MISS RANDOLPH MISS JEWETT Department of Art and Archaeology Lectures in history of 2ll't were given at the Seminary as early as 1874, and in 1878 History of Art became a regular part of the course of study. From almost the opening year instruc- tion in drawing has held a recognized place. With the growth of the department an appeal for an art building was made in 1896. In IQO2 the Dwight Memorial Art Building, erected at a cost of ll575,000, was opened to classes. The building includes lecture rooms, department library, studios, galleries of sculpture and painting and a room devoted to the Clara Leigh Dwight Collection of Elbridge Kingsley's engravings. The library now includes nearly 2,500 volumes. Collections of photographs, prints and lantern slides have been carefully selected, and over 9,000 photographs are now used by the department. Through the gifts of alumna: and friends the collection of casts has come to include representative examples in pre-Greek, Greek, Roman and Renaissance Sculpture, with some architectural models and casts. There is also a good beginning in original materials, Greek and Roman coins, ancient vases and vase fragments. The stall' of instruction now numbers six and offers sixteen courses in Zll't and archaeology. Studio work is done in connec- tion with nearly every course. Dwight Hall has proved admira- bly adapted to its purpose of art study and exhibition. Books and 'illustrative material are brought side by side and the advan- tage is increasingly afforded of using CZISIS and photographs with journals, reference books and all standard authorities ready at hand.

K., ' -' Sw v MISS HOLMES MISS FLANIGEN D epartment of Chemistry A few years before the opening ofthe Seminary, Miss Lyon attended a course of lectures on Chemistry at Amherst College, that she might be able to illustrate her teaching with experi- ments, and in the hrst issue ofthe catalogue in 1837, Chemistry is among the studies required of Seniors. At first the lectures were given by professors from various colleges and the class work was in charge of Seminary teachers. In 1868 Miss Shattuck took charge of both lecture and class work, and it is to her enthu- siasm that the present development of Science in the college is largely due. The work of Miss Mary A. Berry led to the build- ing in 1892 of Shattuck Hall, which contains the laboratories of Physics and Chemistry. Experimental lectures have always been continued. ln 1907 the work was thrown open to Freshmen, so that a four years, course in Chemistry is now possible in contrast to the Senior requirement of the time of Mary Lyon.
