Historical Note

Formed in 1910, the Board of Deans acted as advisors to the President of the College regarding the welfare of the student body, investigated concerns related to student life, and collected and examined monthly reports of each division to provide to the President. Initially, the Board of Deans was composed of three faculty members each with different administrative duties. Under President Clemen in 1934, the Board was reorganized and expanded to include division deans, the dean of women, the later dean of men, the president, and the dean of the college. In 1948, this Board was dissolved and responsibilities shifted to the newly created Faculty Council.
