When one receives good news or feels the pleasant thrill after having accomplished a difficult task, his first impulse is to rush to some one and tell him of his new found pleasure. And so it is with me. I have had many happy hours and have experienced a peculiar pleasure which I know I could not have experienced had I not applied myself in the study of mathematics. And because I want my young friends to see the opportunity of experiencing this rare and peculiar and yet wholesome and justifiable pleasure, I am going to try and give some of my impressions as to why a young woman who enters college should pursue the study of mathematics.
