  • A Century of Mathematics in America, Peter Duren Et Ai., (Eds.), Vol
    Garrett Birkhoff has had a lifelong connection with Harvard mathematics. He was an infant when his father, the famous mathematician G. D. Birkhoff, joined the Harvard faculty. He has had a long academic career at Harvard: A.B. in 1932, Society of Fellows in 1933-1936, and a faculty appointmentfrom 1936 until his retirement in 1981. His research has ranged widely through alge­ bra, lattice theory, hydrodynamics, differential equations, scientific computing, and history of mathematics. Among his many publications are books on lattice theory and hydrodynamics, and the pioneering textbook A Survey of Modern Algebra, written jointly with S. Mac Lane. He has served as president ofSIAM and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Mathematics at Harvard, 1836-1944 GARRETT BIRKHOFF O. OUTLINE As my contribution to the history of mathematics in America, I decided to write a connected account of mathematical activity at Harvard from 1836 (Harvard's bicentennial) to the present day. During that time, many mathe­ maticians at Harvard have tried to respond constructively to the challenges and opportunities confronting them in a rapidly changing world. This essay reviews what might be called the indigenous period, lasting through World War II, during which most members of the Harvard mathe­ matical faculty had also studied there. Indeed, as will be explained in §§ 1-3 below, mathematical activity at Harvard was dominated by Benjamin Peirce and his students in the first half of this period. Then, from 1890 until around 1920, while our country was becoming a great power economically, basic mathematical research of high quality, mostly in traditional areas of analysis and theoretical celestial mechanics, was carried on by several faculty members.

  • SENIOR LECTURER SECURITY of EMPLOYMENT (Revised 04/13)15)
    I-56 LECTURER/ SENIOR LECTURER SECURITY OF EMPLOYMENT (Revised 04/13)15) Security of Employment An appointment with Security of Employment or Potential Security of Employment can only be granted in conjunction with the titles Lecturer or Senior Lecturer, Security of Employment is not a reward for length of service but is based upon appraised and recognized merit. It cannot be conferred on an appointee unless there is an appropriately budgeted provision for the appointment. An individual may first be appointed as Lecturer with Potential Security of Employment. This may be viewed as a "security of employment-track" position, in the same way that an Assistant Professor position is a "tenure-track" position. Appointments in this series must be at greater than 50%. Lecturers with Potential Security of Employment and Lecturers or Senior Lecturers with Security of Employment are members of the Academic Senate when appointed at 100%. Campus Policy on Allocation of FTE It is campus policy to consider the possible allocation of a provision for a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer SOE or Lecturer PSOE primarily in cases where the curricular duties are so specialized in character that it would be difficult to assure continuance of the presentation of the subject matter with any other type of appointment. A permanent allocation will be made only after an administrative review of a departmental request that must make a persuasive case that such an appointment fits this description and meets long range needs. This request and supporting justification should be submitted to the Executive Vice Chancellor via the Dean; it will also be reviewed by the Council on Planning and Budget.

WELCOME FAMILIES Thank you for joining us for Junior Family Weekend. Over the next two days, as you spend time on campus, you will have the opportunity to glimpse the transformative power of Harvard College that our students experience each and every day. The opportunity to visit classes and engage in discussions with faculty members will offer you a sense of where the intellectual transformation begins for our students. At the same time, sampling Harvard’s extracurricular life through sporting events, creative performances and other events, will give you a feel for how our students transform socially. Hopefully, your time on campus meeting other students and their families will open a window to the rich diversity of experiences and perspectives that contribute to personal transformation for our students. And finally, by attending receptions and lunch in the residential houses, we invite you to experience Harvard’s unique house life where the College community comes together in ways that support all three aspects of transformation of our students – social, personal and intellectual. We hope you have a chance to take advantage of all of these opportunities and we wish you a memorable weekend.
