When created, the Cabinet (or Schedule Committee) consisted of the College President, Dean of Women, Registrar, and Dean (or Assigning Officer) of each of the College’s five departments. The Cabinet acted for the General Faculty in granting permissions affecting more than one department, in assigning class-rooms and hours, and appointing duties to workers that did not fall within the department to which they belonged. The Cabinet also was also responsible for handing out punishments and admonishments for offenses not dealt with by the several deans.

Over time, the Cabinet grew to include two student representatives and became the executive committee of the general faculty.  The Cabinet became responsible for business regarding exceptions to policies, the academic calendar, chartering organizations, fees, and a variety of inidividual situations relating to the applcation and interpretation of policies.

The Cabinet was disbanded in 1989.
