Abstract

First meeting in 1939, the Faculty Advisory Council (often called Adivsory Council) was established to provide a democratic means of communication on matters of mutual interest to several faculties, the Labor Group, the President, and the Board of Trustees. Membership on the council included the President, academic Deans, three elected members from each of the Faculties (Upper, Lower, and Foundation), and three elected members from the Labor Group. Elisabeth Peck and May B. Smith were the was the council's first chairperson and secretary respectively. Minutes of the first meetings of the council show that the council's first order of business was the consideration of Francis S. Hutchins as the next president of the college.
