Federation of Regional Accrediting Commissions of Higher Education (8 folders), 1965-1974

Materials include correspondence, pamphlets, agendas, minutes, and reports.  Included in this series is information on entities such as the NU Corporation and Board of Trustees (Box 16, Folders, 559-570), and the Federation of Regional Accrediting Commissions of Higher Education (Box 18-19, Folders 645-662).

Subseries A. covers general University committees not related to any specific college or department.  Other NU committee records can be found either in Series II.  Colleges and Departments or Series IV. Subject Files.  Annual lists of University committees are located in Committee Rosters, 1959-74 (Box 16, Folder 557).

Corporation and Board of Trustees (Box 16, Folders 559-570) includes information on minority students, student unrest, and University events.  Also included are memoranda from ASK and information relating to Corporation committees, such as the Committee on Academic Affairs, 1969-75 (Box 16, Folder 561); the Committee on Facilities and Development, 1966-75 (Box 16, Folder 562); and the Committee on Funds and Investments, 1960-74 (Box 16, Folder 563).

The President's Advisory Council (Box 16, Folders 574-78) was established in the autumn of 1968 to facilitate communication among the administration, faculty, and students.  Materials include notes, minutes, general correspondence, and memoranda.

Most of the Organizations, Committees, and Councils in subseries (B.) relate to higher education, community service, or some type of philanthropy in the United States.  However, there are a few organizations that fall outside those categories.  ASK's files relating to the Chi Psi fraternity (Box 18, Folders 624-636), which ASK joined as an undergraduate at Bowdoin College ca. 1926, and remained affiliated with throughout his life, are included in this series.  These files contain information on the establishment of a Chi Psi chapter at NU.  In addition, there are files relating to both the Arkwright-Boston Manufacturers Mutual Insurance, Co. (Box 17, Folders 595-603) and International College in Beirut, Lebanon (Box 19, Folders 667-673), because ASK was a member of the board of trustees of both institutions.

Researchers should note that the National Commission for Cooperative Education (NCCE) (Box 20, Folders 678-699 and Box 48, Folders 2188-2190) while located at NU, has no administrative affiliation with the University, and therefore, is located in subseries (B.)

Information on organizations for which there is no individual folder may be found in either Educational and Civic Affiliations, 1963-69 (Box 17, Folder 644 and Box 47, Folder 2187), Memberships in Clubs and Societies, 1960-74 (Box 19, Folder 675), and Regional Associations, 1971-1972 (Box 21, Folder 715).
