Northwestern Professor Delivers Math Lecture To Scientific Students A lecture day, March 7, for mem bers of math and science classes with guest speaker Prof. Alex Rosenberg, associate professor of mathematics at Northwestern University, Evanston, will be sponsored by the Mathematics department in co-operation with the Mathematical Association of America. Rosenberg, who received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1951 and is noted for his algebraic research, will give his first talk, The Role of Groups in Mathematics, at 10 a.m. to members of the analytic geometry, math and science classes. After lunching with senior math majors, the professor will speak to the group on Fields, Galois Theory, and Solutions of Equa tions. After a seminar with jun ior and senior math majors, a cof fee hour with mathematics faculty members will conclude his visit. The Mathematical Association of America sponsors this lecture pro gram which is financed by the Na tional Science Foundation and by the donations schools contribute to the visiting lecturer. Since its beginning in 1954, the as sociation has aimed to stimulate mathematics and to point out oppor tunities for future mathematical careers. Senior Merits Award In Chemistry Field A teaching assistantship to Loyola University has been awarded senior chemistry major, Jacqueline Kosturik. The scholarship will provide tuition plus 200 per month stipend for nine months. Direct application to Loyola pro vided Jackie with the scholarship, which was based on her work at Mun delein.
