"Another evidence of intellectual growth was the appearance of |
the Faculty Bulletin, under the editorship of Dr. Lauren King, the witty, popular professor of English. At first the Bulletin was a |
monthly journal of administration announcements, committee reports, |
book reviews, briefings on what other colleges were doing, and |
personal notes within the faculty family--"Dr. Wright reports that Marjorie ( |
his firstborn) has begun kindergarten." Emphasis on the college |
community as a family, sharing concern for each others' needs, was still |
strong during the Buswell era. |
the editor declared: "The one aim of the Bulletin, as I understand it, |
is to stimulate us all to be better teachers. Since this cannot |
be accomplished without changes and soul-searching, you may expect |
that suggestions for change and soul-searching will appear from time to time |
." As the Bulletin passed from editor to editor through the years, particularly through the 50s and 60s, it became increasingly |
a scholarly journal, in which professors were encouraged to publish |
the fruits of their research. Gradually, however, interest in |
the publication waned; faculty members professed to be too busy to |
prepare articles; and the Bulletin expired in 1969." [WCAHRp119] |
