Samuel and Edna Fausold in president’s office, 1937

1937 was probably the best year of President Fausold’s professional career. In the following year Republicans took over the state house and Fausold, for political and medical reasons, had to retire. The political hubbub was cause by Fausold relieving Training School Principal Jeanne Ackerman of her responsibilities even though former ISTC President John Keith had recommended to the Supt. of Public Instruction that she leave before Fausold became President.
