http://findingaids.library.northwestern.edu/catalog/inu-ead-nua-archon-778

On April 8, 1939 it was recommended that a standing committee be created to represent the several faculties and Senate before the Board. Further, it recommended that the committee be democratically elected from the four upper academic ranks of the faculty, that its first task would be to consider the revised statutes and that it should be called the General Faculty Committee. The General Faculty Committee was then authorized by the Senate "to consider any matters of general university policy on its own initiative or matters referred to it by faculty of the separate schools…" The records of the General Faculty Committee (GFC) includes materials generated or received by the committee between 1939-1977.
