Historical Note
The minutes of the January 12, 1954, faculty meeting report that "It was resolved that a committee be appointed to compile a faculty handbook containing all resolutions relating to policy matters." Two months later a committee was formed. A note in the March 21, 1955, faculty minutes read "Attention was called to the fact that it is a desirable thing to have a faculty handbook." At the August and post-Christmas retreats in 1955 the faculty devoted considerable time to discussing the content of the handbook. Finally, in the August 28-29, 1956, pre-school retreat, President Weber presented the college faculty handbook. Various editions have appeared since then and its scope has been broadened to include all the policies and procedures pertaining to the position of faculty and administrators as employees.
