The Mathematical Department In the beginning this department consisted of but one member, Prof. M. W. Bartlett, who taught the whole curriculum which embraced a course extending from Mental Arithmetic through Analytics. Later, Prof. Bartlett “exchanged chairs” with Prof. 1). S. Wright, who had been organizing the English depart- ment. As the school has grown larger the course in Mathematics has changed to meet the varied demands of the students until now the department has grown, as Mr. A rev says, from a “Chair to a whole “Sett occupied by a corps of professors and instructors consisting of three men and two women. The course lias expanded to one offeiing not nly elementary mathematics but College Mathematics through Calculus, giving a Degree of B. A. in Education. The Art Department Miss Emma M. Dahlin became instructor of penmanship and drawing in 1S91. During the winter of 1893-‘94 she returned to Pratt Institute where she had previously studied and graduated. During her absence Miss Eva Ben- hain, a graduate of Pratt Institute '91, was a substitute teacher. Miss Dahlin continued as professor of drawing until 1895. Miss Henrietta Thornton, a graduate of Pratt Institute 1891, was made professor of drawing in 1895. At the same time Miss Bertha L. Patt was elected as assistant teacher of drawing and had charge of the penmanship classes. The work of the art department expanded so rapidly, however, that Miss Patt was elected as a professor of drawing. It has ever been the earnest effort of the art department to work along lines: of aesthetic development and to do all within its power to send its pupils out into the public schools appreciative of the beautiful and as leaders and directors of public taste.
