Biographical / Historical

In 1966, Cornell University President James A. Perkins organized the Faculty Committee on Environmental Values in response to faculty concern for preservation of the physical setting of the University. The name was changed to the University Committee on Campus Planning in 1969 when the committee's responsibilities were expanded to include all aspects of maintaining and developing Cornell's buildings and grounds.
