In May 1968, the Special Committee on Community Life and Structure of Maryville College recommended that an All-College Council be organized by January 1969. Following approval of this recommendation by the Executive Council of the Faculty, the Special Committee proposed the nomination of 15 council members who were subsequently chosen in a campus-wide election. The members comprised six students from the three upper classes; six faculty members from 3 groups chosen on the basis of tenure; and six administrative officers from those whose position, in the judgment of the administrative staff, would make them most useful on the Council. The President, Academic Dean, and Secretary of the Faculty would be automatic members. In January 1969, the 18-member All-College Council was installed as the chief deliberative and legislative body for Maryville College. It is responsible for long-range planning and for directing the activities of the entire college community, under the broad purposes and policies set forth by the College's Board of Directors. The three coordinating councils that supplement the Council are responsible for activities in academic, religious, social, cultural and recreational affairs. Smaller committees within the coordinating councils will direct specific programs. (WM)
