THE LLAMARADA Bnpartment nf tttlatlimnatira The beginning of the Department of Mathematics dates if N 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 during the first two years. In I854 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 fifty hours of credit, and covering the field of mathematics from the elements of analytic geometry and cal- culus to modern geometry, application 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 I892. Besides the well-known histories the department library contains a valuable collection of famous mathematical works belonging to the sixteenth and seventeenthicenturies. The equip- ment also includes sets of plaster and thread models for illustration in the various courses.

.39 THE LLAMARADA Eepartnnrnt uf Ghvmiatrg ,fa N A few years before the opening of the seminary Miss Lyon attended a course of lectures on Chemistry at If Amherst College that she might be able to illustrate her teaching with ex- periments, and in the first issue of the catalogue in IS37, Chemistry is among the studies required of Seniors. At first the lectures were given by pro- fessors from various colleges, and the class work was in charge of Seminary teachers. ln I868 Miss Shattuck took -- -- MISS HOLMES charge of both lecture and class work, MISS CARR and it is clue to her enthusiasm that the present development of science in the college is largely dur-. The work of Miss Mary H. Berry led to the building in 1892 of Shattuck Hall, which contains the laboratories of Physics and Chemistry. Experimental lectures have always been continued. In l907 the work was thrown open to Freshmen, so that a four-year course in Chemistry is now possible in contrast to the Senior requirement of the time of Mary Lyon.
