The Association functions to promote a closer relationship between emeritus faculty, who have been recognized for their service, the administration and the active faculty; furnish a means of continuing social contact among the members of the emeritus faculty; to provide experience and talent to advise on and to support the goals of the University; and to further the well being of the emeritus faculty and to be an advocate on their behalf. Materials in the Emeritus Faculty Association records includes a Book of Life printed in 1950 in part to a "new policy formed to honor retiring faculty," Constitutions and By-Laws, Clippings, Handbooks and Forms, supporting materials for the United Way Campaign, and Meeting Minutes. Meeting materials for 2000 and 2001 include all of the supporting documents for those meetings. Otherwise there is an almost compete run of meeting minutes from 1979-2001 that are arranged chronologically. Additional materials for the Association can be found through the Association website.
