The records were created during the time of involvement of George E. Yoos, longtime faculty member in the Department of Philosophy at St. Cloud State, serving as a member on the Society’s board of directors in 1975. More importantly, Yoos served as editor of the newsletter and journal from 1972 to 1990. Yoos also served as the Society’s executive secretary from 1986 to 1995. Dr. Yoos is widely considered to be the Rhetoric Society’s cornerstone contributor in the development, success and longevity of the publication. After Yoos left, other St. Cloud State faculty members served as associate and assistant editors.
