Series Description:

From the Series:

This series contains the minutes and records of the faculty Recording Committee from 1911. The first listing of this committee occurs in the 1901 college catalogue, although it is possible that the committee existed before that date.

It appears that the committee's purpose is to approve or deny requests for: changes in majors or grades, study away from Bowdoin, waiving requirements, independent study, self-designed majors, residency requirements, leaves of absence, etc. The committee also approves or denies exceptions to latin honors requirements such as students with an "F" or students who did not reside on campus a minimum amount of time and lists those who graduate.

This series material differs from the Recording Committee recors in the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs: records (A04.01) and Office of Student Records/Registrar: records (A02.01) as it includes minutes and correspondence relating to the faculty involved in various grade and status changes as well as the committee itself.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
