It is unclear when this committee was created and when it was discontinued. It was in existence during the 1940s, though it may not have met during the years of the Second World War. It is sometimes referred to as the "Committee on Public Relations", other times as the "Public Relations Council", and more often as "The Public Relations Committee". The purpose of the committee is not altogether clear from its minutes. The catalogues of the period do not explain its charge. In a general way, it tried to promote the university by advertising it, working to increase its enrollment and raise money among other things.
