URING the 1960 presidential election, pre-election and post-election questionaires were sent to a random sample of teachers at the three Washington state colleges.' From a total of 135 names taken from official listings of all the faculties, 114 individuals, or 84.4 per cent, responded to both questionnaires. This sampling represents a modest effort to gather information regarding the political beliefs and voting behavior of college faculty, with primary attention devoted to (a) the extent of formal identification with political parties; (b) the extent of political participation; (c) the bases for choosing presidential candidates; and (d) the comparative behavior of Independents and Party Identifiers. For present purposes, an evaluation of the results of the survey has been subdivided under the following headings: Political Participation; Choosing the Presidential Candidate; Independents and the Party Faithful; The Pattern of PostElection Results; and Conclusions
