JOHN EDWIN OSTRANDER Thirty-eight years of continuous uninterrupted service in the same College is a distinction which comparatively few men earn. Hence, we hail John Edwin Ostrander who was Head of the Depart- ment of Mathematics at the Massachusetts State College from 1897 until his retirement as Emeritus Professor in 1935. He was born at Singerlands, New York, March 20, 1865, the son of John and Catharine, nee Van DenBergh, Ostrander. On September 26, 1888, he married Sarah Cowan of Youngstown, New York. He attended Union College where he was graduated with the A. B. and C. E. degrees in 1886. Before taking his Master ' s degree in Arts at Union in 1889, he served as an assistant in sewer con- struction at West Troy and with the Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas City R. R. He went to Lehigh University as an instructor in Civil Engineering in 1891. Two years later he became Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Idaho, where he remained until he came to Massachusetts State College in 1897. In 1900 Professor Ostrander was elected to serve on Com- mittee VI of the International Commission on Teaching Mathe- matics and served for eleven years. He was also meterologist at the Massachusetts Agricultural College Experiment Station from 1897- 1928. He died October 19, 1938. Professor Ostrander was an influential and gifted teacher. His manner was austere yet kindly. Johnny O , as he was affection- ately called by the students, had a warm regard for high standards of scholarship. Serving under four Presidents of the College, his con- tributions must be measured in terms of the progress made during that period. No one has served the College more faithfully. His work was done with devotion and effectiveness. WILLIAM L. MACHMER, Dean 02
