Subscribers' changes of address should be reported well in advance to avoid disruption of service: address labels are prepared four to six weeks in advance of the date of mailing. Requests for a change of address should always include the member or subscriber code and preferably a copy of the entire mailing label. Members are reminded that U. S. Postal Service change-of­ address forms are not adequate for this purpose, since they make no provision for several important items of information which are essential for the AMS records. Suitable forms are published from time to time in the Notices (e.g. June 1980, page 378). Send change of address notices to the Society at Post Office Box 6248, Providence, Rl 02940. [Notices is published eight times a year (January, February, April, June, August, October, November, December) by the American Mathematical Society at 201 Charles Street, Providence, Rl 02904.

POSTMASTER: Send address change notices to Membership and Sales Department, American Mathematical Society, Post Office Box 6248, Providence, Rl 02940.] Publication here of the Society's street address, and the other information in brackets above, is a technical requirement of the U. S. Postal Service. The street address should never be used by correspondents, unless they plan to deliver their messages by hand. Members are strongly urged to notify the Society themselves of address changes (in the manner described above), since (as explained above) reliance on the postal service change-of-address forms is liable to cause delays in processing such requests in the AMS office.

I first met Miss Lehr when I was interviewing for a position at Bryn Mawr. She enthusiastically attended my talk and most of our colloquia for the next few years; some of you may remember her from the panel discussion at the Emmy Noether Symposium. Several years ago, Pat Kenschaft wrote an article about Miss Lehr that appeared in this Newsletter. Pat tells me that Marguerite liked the article very much, and so we are reprinting it in this issue, as a tribute to an extraordinary woman.

  • 14 Patrick Suppes
    14 Patrick Suppes Lucie Stern Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus Stanford University, USA 1. Why were you initially drawn to computational or in­ formational issues? I begin with some history. I am not sure just when I first thought about the use of computers for computation, but I do remember the late 1950s when Dick Atkinson and I were writing a book on applications of learning models and stimulus-response reinforce­ ment concepts to simple game situations. The book is full of ex­ tended computations supported by use of the I.B.M. 650 Com­ puter at Stanford, which was one of the very earliest made avail­ able to academic communities to have the possibility of going be­ yond the old days of computing with hand calculators. We say this in the preface of Suppes and Atkinson (1960): "Evan Linick has been indispensable in programming many problems for the I.B.M. 650 Computer at Stanford; we are also indebted to Richard Hill of the Western Data Processing Center for his cooperation." This brief acknowledgement is all we had to say about what was really a first, big-time, move into computing from my own standpoint. At that time, the only task was facilitating the many statistical estimates of parameters and the like for the models introduced in the book. It is important to realize how fundamental the change was in feasible applications of statistics with the introduction of digital computers in the 1950s. Even very simple formulations of linear-programming or linear-regression problems, that were prac­ tically unsolvable, could now be used to address all kinds of inter­ esting questions in theories of behavior and social interaction.

The authors agree on the forces that are reshapinc calculus, but disagree on how to respond to these forces. They agree that the current course is not satisfactory, yet disagree about new content emphases. They agree that the neglect of teaching must be repaired, but do not agree on the most promising avenues for improvement. The document contains: (1) a record of presentations prepared fcr a colloquium; (2) a collage of reactions to the colloquium by a variety of individuals representing diverse calculus constituencies; (3) summaries of 16 discussion groups that elaborate on particular themes of importance to reform efforts; (4) a series of background papers providing context for the calculus colloquium; (5) a selection of final examinations from Calculus I, II, and III from universities, colleges, and two-year colleges around the country; (6) a collection of reprints of documents related to calculus; and (7) a list of colloquium participants.

  • The First One Hundred Years
    The Maryland‐District of Columbia‐Virginia Section of the Mathematical Association of America: The First One Hundred Years Caren Diefenderfer Betty Mayfield Jon Scott November 2016 v. 1.3 The Beginnings Jon Scott, Montgomery College The Maryland‐District of Columbia‐Virginia Section of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) was established, just one year after the MAA itself, on December 29, 1916 at the Second Annual Meeting of the Association held at Columbia University in New York City. In the minutes of the Council Meeting, we find the following: A section of the Association was established for Maryland and the District of Columbia, with the possible inclusion of Virginia. Professor Abraham Cohen, of Johns Hopkins University, is the secretary. We also find, in “Notes on the Annual Meeting of the Association” published in the February, 1917 Monthly, The Maryland Section has just been organized and was admitted by the council at the New York meeting. Hearty cooperation and much enthusiasm were reported in connection with this section. The phrase “with the possible inclusion of Virginia” is curious, as members from all three jurisdictions were present at the New York meeting: seven from Maryland, one from DC, and three from Virginia. However, the report, “Organization of the Maryland‐Virginia‐District of Columbia Section of the Association” (note the order!) begins As a result of preliminary correspondence, a group of Maryland mathematicians held a meeting in New York at the time of the December meeting of the Association and presented a petition to the Council for authority to organize a section of the Association in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

  • William Kaye Estes Was Spread Upon the Permanent Records of the Faculty
    At a meeting of the FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES on November 6, 2012, the following tribute to the life and service of the late William Kaye Estes was spread upon the permanent records of the Faculty. WILLIAM KAYE ESTES BORN: June 17, 1919 DIED: August 17, 2011 William Kaye Estes, Daniel and Amy Starch Professor of Psychology, Emeritus, earned recognition early on as a member of a rare category containing those who exhibited both sterling personal leadership and outstanding intellectual contributions. His creative scholarship centered on learning theory, to which Harvard University’s own B. F. Skinner contributed in a major way. Many psychologists believed that the hard facts of learning theory needed a formal structure that could give rise to precise predictions. Bill Estes filled this need in 1950 in a classic paper, “Towards a Statistical Theory of Learning,” which described how organisms sampled the elements of a conditioning stimulus over successive trials so that, in time, the stimulus reliably evoked a conditioned response. Fred Skinner was not pleased that one of his best graduate students had abandoned the strict orthodoxy of behaviorism and theorized about mental events. Bill’s argument was so elegant it became one of the seedbeds for what evolved into the sub-discipline of mathematical psychology with a journal and a society founded in 1964 and 1977 respectively. Bill, along with Kenneth Arrow, Patrick Suppes, Richard Atkinson, R. R. Bush, and Duncan Luce, made pioneering contributions to many cognitive domains over a period spanning more than a half century. After spending his undergraduate and graduate years at the University of Minnesota and obtaining a Ph.D.

For one of these, the Fiftieth Anniversary, it was necessary for me to go through many early papers relating to the founding of the college and also to read through 1 the president's reports which exist for each year of President Rhoads term, 1885-1894, and for the first eleven years of President Thomas's term, 1895-1906. After that time, as the Directors probably know, she ceased to present any narrative account of the year and the president's reports as annually published consisted only of statistics tabulated by the various offices.
