Administrative History

The College of Arts and Sciences was created in 1828, when Indiana College was chartered, as the College of Liberal Arts. The departmental organization within the College was introduced in 1887. In 1921, the name was officially changed to the College of Arts and Sciences.

The Arts and Sciences faculty began meeting formally in 1927. Their meetings consisted of reviewing policies and curriculum recommendations, as well as statistics pertaining to admission, enrollment, and matriculation. Although it is difficult to pinpoint the year in which the faculty as a whole last met, other records in the IU Archives seem to reflect an ending date of circa 1970.

The records contained within this collection span the period from 1927 to 1958.

Arrangement
