It has advisory as well as executive functions, its general function being to act on behalf of Council for all matters except legislation between the last regular Council meeting in December and the first full Council meeting in March, and on urgent matters and routine matters except legislation between Council meetings. In addition, the Executive Committee has the following functions: advising Council on the naming of buildings; acting for Council in respect to University Appeals which do not fall into the terms of the Vice-Chancellor's responsibility; exercising standing authority, which is also held by the Finance Committee, to authorize the obtaining of interim death cover when future salary increases are known in advance and will have retrospective effect. The minutes of the Committee are dated 1876-1886 and from 1971 on. Though the Committee existed from 1887 until 1970, no meeting papers can be found for those years.
