Records of the Ad Hoc Committee on Admissions and Financial Aid, a group comprised of Mount Holyoke College trustees and administrators, date from 1992-1993 and concern efforts to recruit qualified students while managing increasing costs to the College. The collection includes minutes, agenda, reports, and statistics as well as several analyses of the admissions program prepared by faculty member Christopher H. Pyle. Historical Note

The Ad Hoc Committee on Admissions and Financial Aid seems to have been created in the early 1990s in response to the trends of rapidly increasing costs to institutions of higher education. The Committee reviewed admissions and financial aid statistics and trends and considered ways to improve methods of recruitment and retaining students. Committee members include Mount Holyoke College trustees Jameson Baxter, Carol Huxley, Herbert Jarvis, James Lewis, Barbara Rossotti, and Margaret Woodbury, Mount Holyoke President Elizabeth T. Kennan, and College administrators Peter Berek, Janice Gifford, Mary Jo Maydew, Pama Miller, Ellen Ortyl, Anita Smith, and Sally Trabulsi.
