LAK ELAND, FLA., !MATHEMATICS EnSY T0 HIN| Tennessee Profescor Never Has Eeen Balked by Problem, No Matter MHow Difficult, Bristol, Tenn.—Landon €. Haynes, for 30 years at the head of the mathe matical department of Greeneville and Tusculum college, in east Teanessee— the school where Aandrew Johnson learned to debate—is one of the best mathematiciaus in the country, if not Mcreover, ha is a man of comprehensible knovledse. lle is a master of many lanzuages and of all the sciences, and translates the dead languages as eacily as the modern. Nething has ever come to his notice | of a mathematical nature that he could not solve readily. When asked by pu- | pils on one occasion if he had ever ! been “stalled” on a mathematical prob~ lem he replied: “I have not; and, while I do not say it in the sense of boasting, I have no hesitancy in making the assertion that there is no probiem based upon sci- entific principles that I cannot solve.” At Princeton the instructor in mathematics has been accustomed: to allowing any pupil to pass without ex- amination who could solve a certain difficult problem in calculus. Few, it is said, have ever been able to do it. Professor Sentell, who was educated: in academic mathematics under Pro- { fessor Haynes, tried this problem and failed; but he said to the Princeton teacher his old professor in east Ten-- nessee could solve it, and he asked:| permission to send it to Professor Haynes. In a few days the problem came back solved. The Princeton professor looked it over and exclaimed, “Cor rect. And by an entirely new method of solution.” At Professor Sentell’s suggesdon‘- hendl the Princeton mathematical wrote to inquire how long it took the Tennessee professor to solve the prob- lem. The reply was: minutes.” Professor Haynes has never sought to be known beyond his own class-! very, very distineily, for it was super- room. On the day of his graduation, | lallhough he had written his gradua- | tlon address in three languages, he | was not present to deliver it, being out on the river bank fishing. Professor Haynes knows many subjects. His knowledge of theoretical and applied eleetricity sur- prised the men in that department of | Chicago university, He is He Is fifty-three years old.
