The Committee on Education appears to have been formed between 1924 and 1925. This supervisory committee oversees all matters pertaining to educational activities and policies of Mount Holyoke College. Issues and policies reviewed by the Committee include faculty appointments, reviews, promotions, salaries; sabbaticals, probations and dismissals; the selection and evaluation of administrative officers; and aspects of the curriculum.
