Records relating to the financial committees at the University.

Over the decades, the Board· of Governors has struck many committees. Some have had a limited purpose, such as the Ad Hoc Committee on Campus Security and the Committee Appointed to Report on the Stevenson Scholarships. Others are standing committees that have existed for years, such as the Nominations Committee and the Property, Grounds, and Safety Committee.

Series consists of records of committees established by the Board through the decades. Many committees were short-lived, established for a particular purpose. There may not be records from all committees that have existed.

The series comprises records documenting the formation of the University of King's College, includingcthe Royal Charter of 1802 granted by King George III; Statutes and policies issued by the Board of Governors; and copies of Nova Scotia provincial Statutes, which have been collected for reference.
