Introduction

In 1972, the Mathematics Teacher published a series of three articles in “The Forum,” a section of the journal devoted to diverging opinions with respect to the role of geometry and the best approach to it. The February issue addressed the question “What should become of the high school geometry course?” The articles in “The Forum” in February were written by Howard F. Fehr, Frank M. Eccles, and Bruce E. Meserve. I chose the article by Fehr as one that has had an effect on high school curricula and still poses some answers to the original question today. The question was the subject of a panel discussion at the August 2006 MathFest of the Mathematical Association of America sponsored by the NCTM/MAA Joint Committee on Mutual Concerns.
