The Faculty Committee on the Graduate School, earlier termed the Committee on University Degrees and Fellowships (1887-1895) and the Committee on the Graduate Department (1898-1904) serves as the principal governing body for the Graduate School. Since 1910 there have been individual representatives from each department on the Committee. The Committee's activities include approval of courses and catalog information, sanctioning of fellowships and degrees, establishing qualifications for degrees, distribution of fees to faculty for service as readers, determining admission and residency policies, creating new degree programs, and coordinating requests for graduate-level course work by undergraduates and students at Princeton Theological Seminary. Of special value in this series are the statistical reports by the various deans found in the committee minutes. These include information on the number of graduate students taking various courses each semester, and admission data on applicants and those admitted which includes undergraduate schools represented and geographical distribution of the students. This series is divided into four subseries: minutes (1887-1960); memoranda to the Committee (1949-1961); reports to the faculty (1908-1969), and PhD examinations and fees (1895-1916). (Similar entries can be found in the minutes for 1887-1894.)
