AS SIXTH PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE
IN an impressive ceremony Charles E. Shain was formally inducted as the sixth president of Connecticut College. The Inauguration was held on October eighteenth and nineteenth, and included in addition to the ceremony a lecture, a concert, and art exhibits. At 11 a. m. on October nineteenth the academic proces- sion moved slowly into Palmer Auditorium; delegates from nearly 200 colleges, universities, and learned societies, including 21 college presidents and 19 deans, took part. Alumnae delegates from 42 classes were seated in the audience. Following the Invocation and two Addresses, President Shain was inducted by Frazar B. Wilde, chairman of the Board of Trustees, who presented him with the symbols of (he College - its charter, keys, records, and seal. President Shain, in his Response, accepted the authority and responsibility inherent in his new office. continued

7 For the student who regards math with fear and awe, a unique course
Introduction to Mathematical Thought

We hope to re- Tradition in its main forms of thought and action. One place fear by the realization that mathematics is reasonable of the general group degree requirements is, therefore, an and understandable, and awe by the realization that the introduction to the precise language of mathematics or pursuit of mathematical ideas is a rewarding, though logic. This may be fulfilled, among other ways, by a severely challenging, activity. The course is in no way semester course called "Introduction to Mathematical remedial; neither is its content sufficient to include it in Thought," which is intended primarily for students not the regular mathematics sequence. It is not intended for majoring in the physical sciences. It is designed to show either of these purposes. It is intended for the general mathematics not as a tool or technique but as a creative student to be a liberalizing part of a liberal arts curriculum. form of abstract thinking.
