' Dedication IN 1908 Dr. Robert Franklin Anderson became head of the department of mathematics of the West Chester State Normal School, succeeding the late Dr. David M. Sensensig, who had long been head of the department. The new head was a graduate of tin- school in the Class of 1890. lie had done further study at Villa Nova College where he received the degrees of A.B., A.M., and Sc.D. His able teaching in the department has playedno small part in its fine achievements, and since he assumed the post of head, a fine tradition has been splendidly maintained. Connected with a teacher-training institution. Dr. Anderson ' s mathematical interests turned naturally to text-books in mathematics for schools, and he has been joint-author and author of a con- spicuously successful series of such texts. If Dr. Anderson ' s service to this school had been limited to his work as teacher of mathematics and head of his department, it would be noteworthy; but through his long connection with the school he has contributed generously of his time and ability in many fields and on many occasions. In recognition of his faithful, farsighted, and scholarly services to this institution throughout a long term of years, and as a mark of sincere respect and affection, the Class of 1929 dedicates this volume of The Serpentine to Dr. Robert Franklin Anderson.
