The Hamilton Mathematics Department hosted the spring 2012 meeting of the Seaway Section of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) on April 13 and 14.

Peter Wenigmann '73 and his daughter Niki '15 have presented Hamilton with the jacket worn by his grandfather Carl B. Wenigmann '13. Carl Wenigmann began the modern Annual/Alumni Fund, along with William M. Bristol, Jr. '17 and Clancy D. Connell '12. He also helped raise money for the Alumni Gymnasium, and one of the Annual Fund Cups is named for him. The chapel spire was illuminated in memory of Wenigmann and Theodore C. Jessup '14 by their widows. Peter was given the jacket by his father, C. Mitchell Wenigmann '48, who, as a strong supporter of Hamilton himself, chaired the Annual/Alumni Fund and was a recipient of the college's Bell Ringer Award.

Hamilton begins its Bicentennial Year this week and the campus is already bustling. First-year students have arrived and Orientation is under way.
