BIOGRAPHiCAL SKETCH

The Indiana Speech Association was formed in 1950. In October of that year they produced the first constitution; amendments were made to the constitution in 1957, 1959, 1963, and 1965. According to the first constitution, the purposes of the association were: to promote and improve speech education (including oral English, public speaking, dramatics, speech correction and hearing, radio, interpretation, and forensics and other related curricular and extra-curricular activities); to formulate, and to try to secure adherence to, standards of high quality; to coordinate programs and activities sponsored by participating and affiliated organizations; and to elevate the professional standing of people engaged in speech work. The association’s publication, Indiana Speech Notes, was first published in December 1961.
