University of Alberta: Professor J.G. Kemeny spent four days here, March 12 to 15, as a visiting lecturer for the Mathematical Association of America. He gave two colloquium talks on "Markov chains in probability theory" and public lectures on "New developments in the teaching of mathematics" and on "Mathematics in the Social Sciences". He was guest speaker at a dinner meeting of the Mathematics and Physics club, at which he gave a delightful popular talk on the way group theory might have originated, and he also addressed several groups of mathematics students. His visit was greatly appreciated.
