In the last few months the corrugated iron building that has stood at SHAS
since 1984 has undergone a significant cleaning and structure stabilization.
William Andringa initiated the actual work to clean many years of clutter out of
the building and prop up the roof members, which were sagging. Evidence from the
building indicates there was a hall running from the front to the back with two
rooms on either side of the hall.
Committee Chairman, Brad Morrison has undertaken a detailed review of the
historical evidence available on the building. An early photograph of the
building indicates the building had a roofed in veranda around its outside and
is confirmed by early Fire Insurance maps. The construction of a similar designed veranda for the structure is in the planning stage. Also in the photograph there is seen an enclosed garden within a fence made from woven tree limbs. It has also been suggested that a small enclosure be made on the

BIOGRAPHY 12.1 William S. Gosset
William Sealy Gosset was born in Canterbury, England, the latest descendant of an old Huguenot family that had left France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. He studied at Winchester, then at Oxford, where he focused on mathematics and natural sciences. Upon graduation, he joined Arthur Guinness and Son, a Dublin brewery, and he remained employed there throughout his life, ultimately becoming chief brewer at a new brewery in London. Early on, Gosset saw a need for careful scientific analyses of a variety of processes, from barley production to yeast fermentation, all of which profoundly affected the quality of the brewery's final product, beer. His firm sent him to study under Karl Pearson (Biography 14.1) at the University College, London. At the time, the theory of estimation based on large samples had been fully worked out, but Gosset noticed a void with respect to small-sample estimation theory. Small samples, however, were typical of Gosset's work at the brewery. So Gosset developed the theory himself. In a now famous 1908 paper, The Probable Error of a Mean , he noted that s is an erratic estimator of s when n is small; hence, customary measures of the precision of estimates were invalid for small samples and unknown

Biographical Sketch (1912):
"The history of the Frame family in Porter County dates back to the time when the Indians were plentiful in northern Indiana. Grandfather Frame's farm, which he pre-empted from the government, was crossed by one of the old Indian trails, and not long after his settlement here 500 Indians camped on his land. Sometimes the Indians came up to the settlers' cabins, peeped into the windows and frightened the women and children, but the red men never did serious harm to any of the whites in this locality."

STATISTICIANS THROUGH HISTORY A brief look at some of the key names in the history of statistics. Apologies for the innumerable omissions! Jacques Bernoulli Top Gerolamo Cardana Top Rene Descartes Top Ronald Fisher (1890-1962) In 1922 he gave a new definition of statistics. Its purpose was the reduction of data and he identified three fundamental problems. These are firstly, specification of the kind of population that the data came from, secondly estimation and, thirdly, distribution. The contributions Fisher made included the development of methods suitable for small samples, like those of Gosset, the discovery of the precise distributions of many sample statistics and the invention of analysis of variance. He introduced the term maximum likelihood and studied hypothesis testing. Fisher is considered one of the founders of modern statistics because of his many important contributions. Top Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) Italian mathematician and philosopher, famous for his work on gravity and the use of the telescope. Made a number of astronomical discoveries and was a proponent of the argument, originally voiced by Copernicus, that all the planets of the solar system move around the sun. Galileo also wrote on probability in games of chance.

    Biographical Notes
    Bayes was a non-conformist minister in England. A version of what is now known as Bayes’ theorem was used in his paper "Essay towards solving a problem in the doctrine of chances," published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London in 1764.
    James Bernoulli was the first of the famous Bernoulli family of Swiss mathematicians. He wrote one of the early books devoted to probability, Ars Conjectandi , which was published after his death in 1713. Bernoulli formulated the version of the law of large numbers for independent trials, now called Bernoulli trials, and studied the binomial distribution.
    Buffon was the director of the Paris Jardin du Roi and was best known during his time for his thirty-six volume work on natural history. Buffon's famous coin and needle problems are considered to be among the first problems in geometric probability.
    Cardano, who lived in Italy, was a man of many interests: law, medicine, astrology, gambling, and mathematics. His book Liber de Ludo Aleae (The Book on Games of Chance), published after his death in 1663, contained perhaps the first mathematical analysis of gambling.
