Lincoln K. Durst received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the California Institute of
Technology in 1952, after completing his dissertation entitled Apparition and
Periodicity Problems of Equianharmonic Divisibility Sequences. He held mathematics
professorships at the Rice Institute (now Rice University) in Houston, Texas, and
Claremont Men’s College (now Claremont McKenna College) in Claremont, California. He
was an active member of the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical
Association of America, particularly as a member of the Committee on the
Undergraduate Program in Mathematics (CUPM). Durst also participated in several
School Mathematics Study Group summer writing sessions.
Correspondence, reports, minutes, and drafts document Lincoln K. Durst’s activities
as a member of the Mathematical Association of America’s Committee on the
Undergraduate Program in Mathematics and the School Mathematics Study Group.
Represented to a lesser extent are materials concerning his functions as an author
and journal referee.
