The House and Finance Committee was established in 1903 as a committee of Council. It exercised general oversight of financial administration of the University, including accounts, investments, expenditures, and financing of particular projects. All members of Council were automatically members of this Committee.
The volumes contain the minutes of a number of other committees and sub-committees including: Refectory Committee, Extension Committee, Superannuation Committee, Investment of Funds Committee and the Appointments and Stipends Committee.
