“Roberts Rules of Order”

Henry M. Robert, USMA 1857, retired in 1901 after spending most of his time in uniform as an engineer of harbors and waterways and was the last surviving member of his class; however, he is probably best remembered for writing “Roberts Rules of Order” still in print and regularly updated today. This guide consists of procedural rules that governing bodies or agencies can follow to keep meetings systematic. The first manual was published in 1876 making the guide more than a century old.
