NOTES:


 * Wabash College is a "private, independent, four year liberal arts college for men, granting Bachelor of Arts degree." -- From website
 * Does anyone know if "PhD and publications required" means PhD at time of application, or by appointment start date?
 * Unless they specifically state "PhD in hand at the time of application," I think that's just standard language to indicate you can't get this job with an MA or other terminal degree. Besides, why not just apply? That's my motto for almost everything. :)
