Description

Faculty Meeting Minutes, 1863

Overview

A text record of faculty meetings held in 1863, preserved in the “drexel-prod” collection and sourced from PINAX. The file (ID 01K9ZG12CPAHWFMMG8CXAF4ZAD) is in English and includes scanned JPEG and TIFF images of the original minutes. Rights status is unknown.

Background

The minutes were drafted by secretaries E. H. Cleveland and J. W. Cleveland, likely at a small college whose name is not specified in the record. Two meetings are documented: a regular faculty meeting on 11 August 1863 and a special meeting on 12 October 1863. The document reflects routine academic administration of the period, including lecture scheduling, financial oversight, and committee reporting.

Contents

  • Attendees: Professors Sample, Kerr, Preston Scarlett, Cleveland, Russell, Boates, and others.
  • Decisions:
  • - Dr. Temple was called to report from the Invercular Committee. - Dr. Boates was requested to report on the acquisition of articles from Dr. Fennell’s Alumni. - Dr. Fussell could not deliver the general introduction lecture due to a family bereavement; Dr. Garrison delivered an official introduction instead. - The treasurer reported holding $447, to be divided among students and professors.
  • Financial matters: Distribution of the $447 sum and discussion of additional funds from student contributions.
  • Other: The minutes note the adjournment of each meeting and include brief remarks on lecture scheduling and committee reports.

Scope

A communication was rec'd from Dr. Fussell stating that in consequence of the death of a sister he should be unable to deliver the general introduction lecture on the 14th inst. as appointed. In lieu of this it was agreed that Dr. Garrison should give his official introduction lecture on that occasion, appending to it such general remarks as might seem adapted to the occasion. The treasurer stated that she had in hand the sum of $447 which it was agreed should be divided equally with such sums as should be derived from her aficiano students and any such by the Prof. as should be entitled to share in the distribution. Our motion adjourned. E.H. Cleveland Sec.
