History

Perkins of University of South Alabama was elected as Secretary, Donald P. Verene of Northern Illinois University as its Treasurer and Frederick G. Weiss of Purdue University became in charge of the society's newsletter, The Owl of Minerva. Otho Mel Adkins of Pasadena College became the West Coast representative.[4][5][2] Other members of the initial council included George L. Kline of Bryn Mawr College.[6] John D. Caputo served as Society's secretary during 1978-1980 period.
