ABSTRACT:
The Papers of Verlin D. Carlson collection consists of gradebooks, correspondence, meeting minutes, newsletters from the Psychology Department, and numerous documents from various campus and Faculty Senate committees. Carlson served as a Psychology professor at Gustavus Adolphus College from 1963 through 1996. He chaired the Faculty Senate during the mid 1980s. It was during his chairmanship of this body that many of the committee records date.
The Verlin Carlson collection is separated into three series: Committees, 1963-1996, Miscellaneous, 1966-1987, and Gradebooks, 1963-1998.
