...Math Department has awakened to but half the challenge. While preparing to meet the demands of such programs as V-7 by offering elementary courses in trigonometry and high-school algebra, they have done nothing to remove the anachronism of an undergraduate study-course which most nearly resembles the extravagant tales of Progressive Education in the freedom of material which it allows its section men, and in the resulting lack of rigorous or uniform training. The fastest Math A sections cover a wealth of material never approached by their slower brethren, and the final examinations of the former group...
