Chartered Financial Analysts in Charlottesville, VA. MARGARET E. (PEGGY) SMITH writes, "Congratulations to Dr. Stewart for being the first recipient of the Brownell Prize in Teaching! I remember so well his kind and considerate manner in Math 107, spring term junior year, as I struggled through those not so easy probability problems in Elements of Statistics. Although I'm somewhat removed from probability problems, per se, in January of 1986, I began teaching basic algebra and precalculus (Math 111) at Tennessee State University in Nashville. I've always liked math and was never threatened by the ageold stereotype that somehow math is less suited for girls than boys. Nor was Dr. Stewart. He treated me with a genuine concern and equal respect as I met the challenge of his instruction! Thank you, Dr. Stewart, for those inspiring moments in afternoon office hours and congratulations on an honor well deserved." Class Agents: Thomas P. Santopietro Greer Candler Lerchen
