"By 1964 community college business was taking too much of the Portland School Board's time, and the board named an advisory council to help steer the fast-growing college and to recommend policies for the college. The advisory council continued to function until 1968-69 when the college was separated from the school district and got its own elected board of directors." -- p. 108, from the book, "They Just Did It" Harry A. Thompson served on the first advisory council.
