It is not known when this committee was created. It was in existence in 1958 with Dr. Harvey A. Dube as its chair. The last memo pertaining to its business is dated 1964. It seems to have been discontinued sometime shortly thereafter. The following is taken from a statement dated January, 1960, entitled RESEARCH POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. "The Committee on Research and Advanced Study (CRAS) of Xavier University is commissioned to develop the basic items of a program for research and advanced study. These items include: 1. Provision for in-service research. 2. Provision for leave of absence to engage in research and advanced study. 3. Inquiry into and adoption of various measures to encourage faculty members to engage in research and advanced study. 4. Provision for University use of this research and advanced study for the purpose of stimulating further scholarly activity."
