The Work of a Junior Mathematical Association*

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

The Junior Mathematical Association of London, of which I expect very few of you have even heard, is an association in a sense of the word rather different from that in which it is used in the title of the Association I am now addressing. It is the name adopted by some eight large schools (of the Public School type) in and around London for a joint Mathematical Society which has been running amongst the Sixth Form mathematical specialists in those schools for nearly five years. It is essentially an association of institutions rather than of persons, and this type of organisation will at once be seen to be necessary by any one who considers the effect of the changing personnel of Sixth Forms. It possesses therefore no strict membership roll, no subscription, and, incidentally, no harassed treasurer. All the same, it is alive, as I hope to be able to show you by the end of this short paper. It might also be recorded at this point that a somewhat similar association exists amongst some of the Classical Sixths.
