The Department of Mathematics and its programmes have benefitted enormously from the generosity of many individuals. We recognize these Friends of the Department with a brief description of the support they have provided.
	The Owen Chair in Mathematics. This was provided through the donation by Arthur George and Mary Emolene Owen. Since 1984 the holders of the chair have been Gilles Pisier and Bill Johnson. The Walter E. Koss Endowed Professorship. This gift was made in 1999 by Dr. Edwin Koss in honour of his father Walter E. Koss who was Professor of Mathematics at Texas A&M from 1937 until 1957. The L.F. Guseman, Jr. Mathematics Graduate Scholarship Fund. Larry Guseman was a mathematics faculty member from 1967 until his death in 1991. A memorial gift by students, faculty, family and friends endows an annual scholarship to a mathematics graduate student. The Walter E. Koss Endowed Fellowship for a mathematics graduate student was initiated in 1999 by Dr. Edwin Koss in honor of his father. The Elizabeth Wade Lepley Endowed Scholarship was given in her memory by Peggy L and Charles L. Brittan. It is awarded to a freshman majoring in mathematics. The Robert F. Smith Memorial Fund was initiated in 1936 by gifts from faculty and students. It awards prizes to undergraduates for performance in mathematics contests. The Koss/Hillman/McGee Endowed Scholarships for mathematics undergraduate students was initiated in 1999 by Dr. Edwin Koss in honor of three former Department faculty members.
	Ph.D., Master's, and Bachelor's graduates are available as far back as we have on file. Names that indicate links contain some contact information on the individual. This should be a cue for former students to contact us (and all their classmates) with some information on themselves!
