Faculty Meetings, 1864

Overview

This collection comprises scanned pages of the minutes of the faculty meetings of a New York medical college during 1864. The primary document is the 30th Annual Meeting held on 4 January 1864, followed by subsequent meetings on 8 January, 8 February, 26 February, 12 March, and 18 March. The materials are in English, presented as high‑resolution JPEG and TIFF images with accompanying OCR text. They were digitised by PINAX and are currently held in the “FacultyMeetings1864” directory; no rights statement is attached.

Background

The meetings were convened by the faculty of the college, chaired by Professors Russell, Preston, Seaver, and Cleveland, with Dean Erwin Freuler and Secretary A. Preston presiding. The college was affiliated with the New York Medical College, the New York Pharmacy College, and the Women’s Hospital. The minutes record routine administrative matters, financial reports, committee actions, and decisions concerning student admissions and theses, reflecting the governance of a 19th‑century medical institution.

Contents

  • 30th Annual Meeting (4 Jan 1864): Minutes, Dean’s financial report, Treasurer’s report, and resolutions on student admissions (e.g., Maria Putnam).
  • Subsequent meetings (8 Jan, 8 Feb, 26 Feb, 12 Mar, 18 Mar): Minutes noting committee appointments (Audit, Museum, Beneficium, Invention), financial statements, discussion of a $5,000 donation, and the admission of female students.
  • Student theses: Names and topics of female candidates (Amelia Longfellow, Amrita Tyng, E. L. Bettingill, Dora Inveray, A. L. D. Raymond, A. M. Dinsmore, Betsey Dyson, Maria C. Putnam).
  • Voting results and protest letters concerning admission decisions.
  • Administrative notes on ticketing, committee resolutions, and the Women’s Hospital’s consent for commencement exercises.

Scope

The collection covers the period from 4 January 1864 to 18 March 1864, focusing on faculty governance, financial oversight, and the admission and evaluation of medical students—particularly women—in a New York medical college. It excludes later years, external institutional records, and unrelated archival material.
