Biography/History Student government at Drexel began in 1905 with the formation of an Advisory Committee that consisted of nineteen teachers, all appointed, sixteen students, all elected from their individual departments, and two alumni. The Advisory Committee was formed to encourage the various student groups to extend their allegiance and loyalty beyond departmental limits to include the Institute as a whole by giving the students some control over their own affairs. In 1912, Men's Student Government was formed, followed shortly by one for Women's. In 1918, both a Men's and a Women's Student Council were formed. The two councils, after being suggested several times in the 1950s, merged together in 1959 to form the Student Government of Drexel Institute (now the Undergraduate Student Government Association). At the time of the merger, the government was made up of eighteen men and nine women. Based on its new 1959 Constitution the government consisted of a President, a First and Second Vice President, a Treasurer, a Corresponding Secretary and a Recording Secretary. That constitution has been modified several times since the merger, most recently in 2005, with the government now consisting of two executive officers, a President and a Vice President, a Treasurer, an Archivist, an Events Director, a Personnel Director, a Public Relations Director, a Street Team Director and a Technology Director. Scope and Contents The collection contains nine boxes of records releated to the Undergraduate Student Government Association. The records were collected between 1963-2008, the year that the collection was transferred to the Archives. The collection is arranged by subject matter and chronologically within each subject. The collection contains meeting minutes, reports, emails, correspondence, photographs and constitutions. The first two boxes contains copies of meetings minutes. The collection's third box consists of copies of meetings minutes of several committees of the association, and some photographs. The next three boxes contains copies of several reports that were created by or for the association, as well as a few memos and proposals. The seventh box of the collection consists mainly of files for Co-op & Career Management and School of Education, Senator. The eighth box contains files related to the various versions of the USGA's constitution, and the faculty senate archives. The final box contains several files related to the Board of Trustees. - Page 4 -
