The committee was formed in 1925 and was composed of members of the Secondary Principals Association, the Counselors Association, and the Association of Minnesota Colleges. The committee was known at that time as the Committee on Minnesota High School-College Relations of the Association of Minnesota Colleges. It later (during the period covered by the records) operated as a joint committee of the Association of Minnesota Colleges and the Association of Secondary School Principals. In about 1980 the testing program was transferred to the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board.
