Dr. Craig Walton has been on this campus since 1972, where he joined several other instructors teaching in the department of Philosophy. In 1974, he founded the Society for Study of the History of Philosophy which will result this year in the beginning of a book series- dealing with the history of Philosophy. As a founder, Dr. Walton received an overwhelming response for formu-lating this society. From 1974, with only 35 members the organi-zation has grown to presently include over 300 members from twelve nations around the world. This fall will see the publication of the second book of the series, (which he has been working on for 10 years) a monumental publication of the 16th century philosopher, Thomas Hobbes' science of natural justice. In addition to his work with the society for the Study of the History of Philosophy and his work on the Hobbes' treatise, Dr. Craig Walton has also devoted himself to the University. As an officer of the UNLV Chapter of the American Association of University Professors, Dr. Craig Walton has been involved with the Code Response Committee - UNLV's code committee - which represents the faculty in presenting questions and seeking clarification in response to the University of Nevada Systems Code Revision. Dr. Walton also teaches four 3 - credit hour courses and instructs three classes on the 400 level. In spite of his many time consuming activities, Dr. Walton has given time to many students as an instructor and as an advisor. For Dr. Walton's achievement and involvement with UNLV's faculty and students, I consider him to be an 'outstanding teacher' not only from the College of Arts and Letters but also from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas as a whole. If you feel you need more information on Dr. Walton you might try reading the February 19 83 issue of INSIDE' OUT, a publication of the faculty, staff and alumni of UNLV or feel free to ask me any questions about Dr. Walton.
