Vanderbilt Math
Prof. Visits Here
Dr. E. Bayliss Shanks, Chairman of
the Mathematics Department at Van
derbilt University was guest of the
College on April 27-28.
Dr. Louise N. Sutton, Chairman
of the College’s Physical Science and
Mathematics Department, invited all
mathematics teachers in the secondary
schools to all sessions, especially that
one April 27 at 7:00 p.m. in the
Lecture Room of the Science Building
at the College.
At this Monday evening session.
Dr. Shanks discussed “New Emphasis
Algebra and Geometry at the
Sec»ndary Level.”
Dr. Shanks, a specialist in homo-
thetic correspondences between Rie-
mannian spaces, lectured and had con
ferences with State College math
students and others beginning al
8:00 a.m. Monday, April 27.
His topics included the “Real Num
ber System,” “A New Axiom System
for Set Theory,’"’ and “A Super
structure for Geometries.”
The noted mathematician appeared
through the courtesy of the Mathe
matical Association of America
cooperation with the National Science
Foundation.
Three ideas stand out above all
others in the influence they have
exerted and are destined to exert up
on the development of the human
race: The idea of the Golden Rule, the
idea of natural law, the idea of age
long growth or evolution.
Postponed Pleasure
Sooner or later we as teenagers will
face the problem of postponed
pleasures. We will discover that while
there are plenty of things to enjoy
now, some of our lasting enjoyments
are going to be future dividends from
the investments we are making today.
We are experiencing drudgery now,
but we know it will one day turn in
to delight and that makes it worth
while.
College is perhaps the best illus
tration of this. Everytime I hear a
classmate complain about the disci
pline involved in getting a good edu
cation, I know I’m listening to a
classmate who wants his pleasure to
day. He is not willing to accept “post
poned pleasure” but, like a baby in a
crib, wants everything he can get right
Some students still have the idea
that everything has to be “fun.” “Fun’
is the keyword these days. Have you
seen some of the books on the library
shelf or in stores downtown? Cooking
Can Be Fun, Fun with Mathematics
—^these almost give the impression
that learning basic rules and memo
rizing tables went out vrith the “Model
T.”
I’ve said all this to say that: many
of the experiences we will have
teenagers will not be “fun.” They
will be downright annoying because
of the discipline involved. But these
experiences are “postponed enjoy
ments.” They are investments now
that will pay delightful dividends a
rew years from now. The student

A PRAYER FOR TEACHERS
O God, Thou who hast ever brought all life to its perfection by
patient growth, grant me patience to guide my pupils to the best in
life.
Teach me to use the complusion of love and of interest; and save
me from the weakness of coercion.
Make me one who is a vitalizer of life and not a merchant of
facts.
Show me how to overcome the forces that destroy by harnessing
the urges that lead to the life abundant.
Give me such a sense of value that I may distinguish the things
that last from those that pass, and never confuse mountains with
molehills.
Grant me insight to overlook the faults of exuberance because I
can see with prophetic eye the possibilities of enthusiasm.
Save me, O Lord, from confusing that which is evil with that
which is only immature.
May I learn the laws of human life so well that, saved from the
folly of reward and punishment, I may help each pupil of mine to
find a supreme devotion for which he will give his all. And m,ay that
devotion be in tune with thy purpose for thy world.
May I be so humble and keep so young that I may continue to
grow and to learn while I teach.
Grant that I may strive not so much to be called a teacher as to
be a teacher; not so much to speak to Thee, but to reveal Thee; not
so much to talk about love and human service, but to be the spirit of
these; not so much to speak of ideals of Jesus, but in every act of
my teaching to reveal His ideals.
Save me from letting my work be come “commonplace” by the
ever present thought that, of all human endeavors, teaching is most
like the work that Thou hast been doing through all the generations.
AMEN
who sweats out English Composition
today will enjoy himself more when
time for term papers rolls around.
Whenever you face a teenager’s
responsibility that bothers you, take
the farsighted attitude. Look over the
heads of your “enjoy-it-now” friends
who think you are crazy for doing
something that does not involve “fun”
(I keep putting fun in quotes because
I’m not sure what it really means,
maybe you know?).
Sometimes we (teenagers and
adults) place too much emphasis on
dating. Consequently, we believe that
dating success is the only kind of suc-
that counts. Some of us carry the
whole thing too far, and you know
the consequences. We forget about
postponed pleasures and blow all our
fuses today, leaving no dividends to
collect tomorrow. The teenager couple
that simply likes being together and
doing things for each other’s bene
fit and enjoyment, without venturing
into the privileges that belong only
to marriage, is too often looked upon
as “squares” or “not with it.” How
stupid of this couple to wait, to talk
about postponed pleasures when the
real thing is right around the corner!
Well, I think we will discover that
postponed pleasures are worth a lot
more than the shallow experiences
that too many of us live for today.
When we enter niaturity and receive
these dividends, I’m sure we will say
loud enough for everybody to hear.
•‘It was worth waitine for!”
