The name for the hall was proposed by a group of his former students. “He was very, very confident and very-well liked by the students,” said Don Hutchison, math teacher at Clackamas and a friend of Streeter. “When he wasn’t teach- ing he was writing about mathe matics.” Streeter wrote three math books which are widely used, in cluding many classes on campus. A lot of students don’t realize that their Basic Math Skills, Begin ning Algebra, and Intermediate Algebra books were written by the former Clackamas math in structor. He finished his last book about a year before he passed away. “He was most noted for his calculus courses,” according to Hutchison, although he had taught: every facet of the math curricu lum here since the college had opened. Hutchison had heard from many graduates that Streeter made math easy to understand because “he was not only an excellent mathematician but also an art- ist.” Streeter was very googL at making diagrams and pictures to; help his students understand,’ according to Hutchison. Streeter was among the first, five teachers hired at the college when it opened 25 years ago. “He was the math department when the college opened,” said Hutchison. After his death a scholarship fund was set up in his name, tó honor him for his contributions to the college. “We had $8,000 in a couple weeks,” said Hutchison. The new math center is being named after him to further com memorate him and his contribu tions to the college. The building has been under construction since, last June by Elliot Jochimsen Construction. The construction itself cost 1.6 million dollars, according to Dir- rim. The money for the building came through the capital projects fund which is supplied by general obligation bonds. “Everything has gone pretty smoothly,” said Construction Supervisor Bruce Farai.
