Office of Dean of the College. Dean’s Advisory Committee minute books (07.02.2.1)

Minutes, agendas, correspondence, reports, and memos document the activities of the Dean’s Advisory Committee, 1947-1962.

Monthly meetings (1948-1955), dealt primarily with student records: probation lists and change of grades. Additional subjects included curriculum discussions, course schedule changes, prizes and scholarship funds, and lists of degree candidates. Weekly and bi-weekly meetings (1955-1960), had an issues oriented agenda and include reports on educational procedures, curriculum, academic structure, and student conduct.

The Dean’s copies are from Acting Dean William F. Balch, 1949-1951; Dean of Students Frances J. Deignan, 1951-1960; and Dean of the College David L. Strout, 1960-1962. Elisabeth Booher, Secretary to the Dean and Assistant to the President, 1950-1955, prepared the Draft minutes.
