Famous quotes containing the words committees and and/or committees:

    Cry cry what shall I cry?
    The first thing to do is to form the committees:
    The consultative councils, the standing committees, select committees and sub-committees.
    One secretary will do for several committees.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    ... in the minds of search committees there is the lingering question: Can she manage the football coach?
