Chart of Institute Committees

This chart illustrates the growth of Institute activities as reflected by the number and diversity of committees. Only those committees acting for 2 years or more are shown. In every case the title is that by which it was last known, although it may have developed from another committee of different name but similar purpose. The committees are designated as General, Technical, or Special by the letter in the first column following the title. Committees once known as "Standing" are classed as General, as are those of the earlier years when no differentiation was made. The records of committee activities preceding 1887 are not complete.
