INSIDE THE FACULTY HERALD • Letters to the Editor
Lewis Gordon
We have now come to the final issue of The Temple Faculty Herald under my editorship. My research assistant, Ms. Joan Jasak, and I are fortunate to have achieved our goals for the publication.
Those goals included transforming the paper into a forum for discussion of issues of interest to the faculty and increasing the paper’s readership. To those ends, we developed the current format of a mixture of investigative reporting, profiles of faculty and other university professionals, and the traditional service of printing the minutes from the meetings of the Faculty Senate.
