The Council of King's College London, the governing body of the College, gave rise to a number of sub-committees including the important General/Professorial/Academic Board, and the Finance Committee. It also authorised a variety of ad hoc committees required to arrange specific events, oversee appointments and lectureships, and organise the academic activity of specific departments or faculties. Following the King's College (Transfer) Act of 1908, and the legal separation of King's into the secular University of London, King's College, and the Theological King's College London in 1909-1910, oversight of these committees was transferred to the new Delegacy. The reunification of King's in 1980 brought them back under the ultimate control of Council.
