Boxes 1-10, Volumes 1-16

The minutes of the meeting of the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences document the development of policy and other administrative matters of the College from its inception in 1856 through the present. Among various matters recorded in the minutes are the adoption of new or revised rules and degree requirements, curricular changes, committee appointments, reports of committees, recommendations for students' awards and honors, recommendations for promotion and graduation of students, and student petitions.

Addition 1 The addition features half a box worth of minutes material similar to that of the original series that was interfiled with existing materials to form a more complete set. It should be noted that gaps still exist.

Also, a duplicate set of reformatted minutes spanning 1974 through 1990 was added to the end of the series, increasing the original series from ten to eleven archival boxes worth of material. Each page of this duplicate set is numbered through the entire span, and it also contains some gaps.

Addition 2 The addition features a half box worth of minutes material similar to that of the original series, spanning 1996-2003. This material has been interfiled with existing material to further complete the set. The 1996-2003 span appears complete.

Also, a compact disc containing a complete run of extant minutes from October 1974-January 1988 was added to the end of the series. The disc also contains selected meetings from 1990-1995, as well as a complete span of meetings from 2000- January 2005.
