College of Physicians of Philadelphia. Committee on By-Laws and Ordinances.

On 26 Sept. 1967, Francis C. Wood, president of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia appointed John H. Gibbon and Richard A. Kern to serve on a "Committee on Revision of the By-Laws". The committee gave its first report to Council at a meeting held on 27 Feb. 1968. By 1970, the committee's name was shortened to the "Committee on By-Laws".

The "Committee on Ordinances and By-Laws" is listed as an official standing committee of the College of Physicians in the 1972 Ordinances and By-Laws. The committee's responsibilities were to "review the Ordinances and By-Laws and recommend changes and/or amendments." The committee's duties remained much the same, but its name changed slightly over the years. Between 1978 and 1980, the Committee on Ordinances and By-Laws was frequently referred to as the "Committee on By-Laws and Ordinances"; the latter name seemed to become official in 1980.

In 1990, the Committee on By-Laws and Ordinances was eliminated from the list of standing committees of the College. Its responsibilities were assumed by the Executive Committee and other ad hoc committees.
