This commission represents Harvard University, Tufts College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston College, Boston University Museum of Fine Arts, Wellesley College, Simmons College, and the School Committee of the degree of Associate in Arts at Harvard, Radcliffe, Tufts, and Wellesley.

The courses are divided into four groups similar to those here, at least one course being taken in each group.
