 BIOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL NOTE

Under the 1864 Charter of Swarthmore College, the Board of Managers was elected at the annual meeting of the Stockholders of the College held each December in Philadelphia, Pa. The amendment of 1870 included a provision that sixteen of the thirty-two Managers were to be women, a formalization of the de-facto Board membership. In 1910 application was made to the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County to change the organizational structure of the Corporation and eliminate the stockholders provision of the Charter. This was approved on October 22, 1910. The Board of Managers took over the fiduciary responsibilities of the College and was authorized to elect its successors, appoint the College president and other officers, and adopt by-laws as may be necessary for the management of the College.

As a result of the Charter revision, the last meetings of the Friends Educational Association and the Stockholders of Swarthmore College were held on December 6, 1910, at which time the first Board of Managers of Swarthmore College was elected and the Stockholders association dissolved. At that time, all shares of stock were surrendered to the Swarthmore College Corporation.

The Committees were to report to the Executive Committee and the Board of Managers. The first standing committees were Executive, Finance, Trusts, Household, Property, Instruction, Libraries, Museums and Laboratories, Nominating, and Auditors. Additional briefly serving committees were: A Committee to engross the Constitution for the proposed institution was established in 1865 and laid down in 1876; the General Committee was formed in 1867 to appoint and attend conferences designed to create interest in stock subscriptions for Swarthmore College. A similar local committee of stockholders was appointed in 1864 to solicit subscriptions in Philadelphia; and the Furnishing Committee was established in 1869 to oversee the procurement of furniture for the College buildings.

 Instruction and Libraries

The Instruction Committee was established in 1867 to oversee the academic program of the College and to nominate and appoint persons for professorial vacancies. It was to oversee all matters pertaining to Instruction not delegated to the Faculty or to the President of the College.

In 1872 Ansom Lapham donated a collection of Quaker books to the College. The Ansom Lapham Repository was renamed the Friends Historical Library in 1874, and the Friends Historical Library Committee was established to oversee its operations. The Library Committee was organized in 1894 to oversee the general library operations. The Friends Historical Library Committee and the Library Committee merged in 1910 to the Libraries Committee.

In 1933 the Instructions and Libraries Committees were merged to form the Instruction and Libraries Committee.
