The records of the North Carolina State University Safety Committee span from 1961 to 2003, though the years between 1998 and 2003 are not represented in the collection.

The most prominent aspect of that work was the establishment of the Faculty Senate and the refinement of mechanisms for faculty representation in University academic administration during the years 1952-1974. There are also a single folder of materials relating to an earlier iteration of the Committee and its 1946 report, and a folder of documents from the mid-1980s regarding faculty status of librarians. Aside from this folder, the records do not document the Committee's activities after 1974, although the Committee appears to remain in existence up to the present (August 2011). A College Committee on Government and Administration was formed in 1945 to survey the governmental structure of the then North Carolina State College. It issued a report and appears to have disbanded the following year. In 1952 a Committee on College Government was formed to recommend "an instrument of faculty government." Based on its recommendations, a Faculty Senate was instituted on a three-year trial basis in 1954, and the Committee was charged with observing the faculty government and make recommendations for its improvement. The trial period was extended an additional three years in 1957, and in 1960 the Committee recommended that the Senate be established on a permanent basis. The Committee continued to observe faculty government, and made additional recommendations. Its name was changed to the University Government Committee in 1967. The committee was abolished in 2006 and its duties are now handled by the Executive Committee of the Faculty Senate. Less

English professors, Thomas P. Harrison and George Summey were appointed as co-chairs of the library committee. The role of the committee was to contact faculty for recommendations of titles to be added to the library collection. The role of the library committee has expanded since this time and, though it still advises on accessions, it also handles the finnancial responsibilities of the library, oftentimes advocating for more facility resources and making descisions on library policies. As of 2012, the University Library Committee (also referred to as the University Standing Committee on Library) advises the Provost and the Director of Libraries on the fomulation of library policy in relationship to development of resources, the allocation of book funds, the allocation of library space and the general development of library service to the University.

The University Logo Committee Records include minutes and memos from the North Carolina State University, University Logo Committee and samples of items that the committee produced or helped to produce including letterhead, forms, bulletins, brochures, and catalogues, all from the 1970s.

Some memorandums show that the Chancellor, some faculty members, and members of the School of Design were involved with this committee. The purpose for the committee appears to be to come up with a logo that would be consistent campus-wide for production upon letterhead, stationery, brochures, and other such materials used to promote the university or in correspondence from the university. Now the logo and other such marketing entities are managed by a group called NC State University Brand that releases a guide each year describing which logos will be used and how they should be used. The NC State University Brand group has the same objective--to create a consistent, campus-wide use of logos. Less
