WE who have been in the universities much earlier than this generation remember one office which may have been among the primary offices applicants for a position had to deal with. I refer to the then Personnel Office. For non-academic position applicants, the Personnel Office was likely the first and sole office to visit, and which was assigned to interview, appoint and keep records of employees. Teaching positions applicants usually were to meet, just like at present, either the appropriate college dean or academic department chairman or both. If accepted, these offices instruct the successful applicants to submit all the required documents to the Personnel Office.
