Abstract:
The Committee on Scientific Business was created by an amendment to the ordinances and by-laws adopted in October 1907. The original committee members were appointed in November 1907. It seems the purpose of the committee was to schedule presentations by Fellows during College meetings. It is unclear when the Committee was disbanded, but it is no longer active (2018). The Records of the Committee span the years 1910 to 1940, and then from 1972 to 1978, and are comprised mainly of annual reports, minutes, and correspondence from and regarding the Committee's meetings. Several transcripts of presentations, given in 1972 and 1973, are also included in the collection, as well correspondence and event planning information for College Night 1976, the Bicentennial Series.
