W. Cobb, Robert L. Rooke Professor of Statistics, has been
elected to a three-year term as vice president of the American
Statistical Association. Cobb, who has taught at the College
since 1974, is the first person from a liberal arts college
to be elected an officer of the association. Founded in Boston
in 1839, the American Statistical Association is the second-oldest
professional society in the United States. Past members include
Florence Nightingale, Alexander Graham Bell, Andrew Carnegie,
and Martin Van Buren. The mission of the association is to
promote "excellence in statistics in its application
to the frontiers in science, from biological to socioeconomic
to the physical sciences." The association's roughly
17,000 members are divided evenly among academia, government,
and business.
