Crimson Mathematicians Thought To Have Edge on West Point

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Results of the Harvard Army mathematical contest held at West Point will not be known for ten days, it was announced on Saturday when time was called on the match. Professor Arnold Dresden, of Swarthmore, president of the Mathematical Association of America, will correct the papers, and only mathematicians will be able to understand the scoring. Although D. V.
