Arthur E. Hallerberg Scholarship

Our Friend and colleague, Arthur Hallerberg, was among us at Valparaiso University for eighteen years. During that time he represented the epitome of what we regard as excellence in a member of our faculty. He was a devoted teacher, who prepared meticulously for those students privileged to he in his classes. As a writer, he generated numerous articles, authored two books, and edited the 31st yearbook of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Historical Topics for the Mathematics Classroom. As Chairman of the Department of Mathematics, as presiding officer of the University Senate, and as Director of nine National Science Foundation Summer Institutes in Mathematics, he set standards of service that all would do well to emulate. His service to larger constituencies, whether to his profession or to his church, was always directed toward the betterment of the condition of his fellow man; and his love for his own family was deep and abiding. His untimely death left a deep void.

In the spring of 1980, in memory of Professor Hallerberg, Valparaiso University hosted a Symposium on the Use of History in the Teaching of Mathematics. That this Symposium was attended by national and international figures of the mathematical community marked an entirely appropriate recognition of Professor Hallerberg's consummate scholarship.

It is therefore most fitting that there be a Hallerberg Memorial Endowed Scholarship to encourage students to emulate his scholarship, service, and Christian commitment; those attributes which earned him the love and respect of all with whom he shared his Lord's many blessings.
