From the Series:

The Executive Committee was created in 1921 to act for the Trustees and Overseers when those groups are not in session. The committee has wide ranging powers, but not the power to elect or remove the President or to alter the by-laws. Originally, the committee members were drawn only from Overseers and Trustees. By 1972, one faculty member and one student were non-voting members. By 1981, one member of the Alumni Council became a non-voting member. Records include minutes of meetings and occasional attached correspondence. No committee meetings were held in 1976.

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.
