Today's New York Times offers a tribute to Mildred Spiewak Dresselhaus, a professor emerita of physics and engineering at MIT. The Times article, by Natalie Angier, begins with this verse from the 1948 Hunter High School yearbook:
MILDRED SPIEWAK
Any equation she can solve;
Every problem she can resolve.
Mildred equals brains plus fun,
In math and science she's second to none.
