The scholarship was made possible by a bequest in the amount of $10,000 annually made to the Department by William Karl Schwarze who received his bachelor's degree in our Department and subsequently became a high school teacher of mathematics in San Francisco. Mr. Schwarze remembered his studies in the Department with such fondness that he decided to leave funds for students in our Department who demonstrate outstanding mathematical scholarship and exceptional promise of making a strong professional contribution as a mathematics teacher and educator at the pre-college or undergraduate college level.
The
presentation was made by Dr. Peter Rock, Acting Dean of the Division of Mathematical and
Physical Sciences. The recipient of this award, who received a $10,000 scholarship, was
Lynelle M. Lang, who is expecting to receive a Ph.D. in Mathematics in June
1996 and plans to teach at the college level. (H.A.)
