Miss Martha Hildebrandt is retiring from the presidency of The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics this month after two years of devoted and notable service. Under her leadership the Council has grown not only in numbers but in prestige and influence among school people generally. Anyone who reads her report on the preceding pages of this issue will obtain some idea of the time and energy she has devoted to the cause of mathematics, but only those who have worked closely with her in the organization will know how much she has given of her real self and how unselfishly she gave it. She has been a credit not only to the Council but also to her school where she is a teacher of secondary mathematics. The best that The Mathematics Teacher can do is to wish Miss Hildebrandt a long and rich life wherever she may be. We trust, however, that the National Council may continue to receive her wise advice and that she may have the rare pleasure of seeing us ultimately reach our goal of ten thousand members before many years have passed
