Dean Max W. Sullivan created the committee April 1947, comprised of the Division Chairmen, Registrar, Dean, and Director of Admissions, to discuss curriculum, degree lists, and educational procedures. The committee was to serve as a successor to the Faculty Council’s Curriculum Committee.
Registrar George L. Bradley chaired the monthly meetings (1948-1955). President John R. Frazier served as Chair, 1955-1960, instituting weekly and bi-weekly meetings and an issues oriented agenda supported by reports from faculty and staff, and Dean of the College David L. Strout served as Chair, 1960-1962. The committee disbanded with the reorganization of administrative-faculty committees in 1962.
