It also seems that this committee evolved from a previous committee called the Standing Committee on General Research Funds, formed in 1938 whose function was:" to review each year, the research work accomplished by the aid of research grants, to prepare the section on research for the University's Annual Report, and to advise the Board generally on all matters relating to research grants and to the use to which they should be put." This committee was then referred to as the Standing Committee on Research Grants and lastly, the Standing Committee of the Professorial Board on Research.The Standing Research Committee appears to have held its last meeting on the 28th of May 1973. It was superseded by the Committee on Research and Graduate Studies which was formedon the recommendation of the Interim Policy Committee on Graduate Studies.
