Abstract

At a time when the change in approach (and to some extent, the content) of secondary-school mathematics courses was hitting the curriculum with a dramatic impact, Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts, always eager to improve upon the traditional, was one of the first colleges to cater to youngsters gifted in the field. The National Science Foundation sponsored this effort with a substantial grant for the summer of 1959. Forty boys, primarily from the New England area, participated in this first program.
