This collection consists of six volumes of meeting minutes and correspondence ranging from 1899 to 1969. These records document the role of the Executive Committee in governing the University of Chattanooga on behalf of the Board of Trustees. The minutes of the Executive Committee meetings are much briefer than those of the full Board of Trustees meetings, as they do not contain annual reports from the president and other subcommittees. However, the subject matter of these minutes is very much the same as the minutes of the full Board of Trustees meetings and includes documentation of decisions made on the expansion and growth of the physical plant, curriculum development, faculty and staff appoinments, the conferral of honorary degrees and memorial statements, and administrative changes.
