Description

Faculty Meeting Minutes, October 1850

Overview

This item is a scanned text record of the faculty meetings of a Philadelphia college held on 9–10 October 1850. The document is presented as a JPEG image (≈403 kB) with accompanying OCR‑derived text, and a TIFF version (≈49 MB) for archival quality. It is catalogued under the “FacultyMeetings1850” directory and originates from the “drexel‑production” institution, with the source listed as “PINAX.” The material is in English and contains no stated copyright restrictions.

Background

The meetings were convened by the College Faculty in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The first session took place in the College Building, while the second session was held in the office of Prof. Museler. The faculty discussed administrative matters, including the resignation of the incumbent Dean, Prof. McCloskey, and the election of Prof. Museler to that position. The sessions also addressed financial and property issues, notably the leasing of a house at 229 Arch Street.

Contents

The OCR text reproduces the minutes verbatim, covering:
  • A resolution by Prof. Gleason to authorize the Dean to issue certificates to students who pay by notes or checks, with a directive to present such instruments at the next meeting.
  • A resolution allowing any faculty member to issue permits for attendance at occasional lectures.
  • Prof. Chaloner’s proposal to request the College President to cooperate with the Dean in arranging the lease of House 229 Arch Street, which was carried.
  • The acceptance of Prof. McCloskey’s resignation and the election of Prof. Museler as Dean.
  • The adoption of the previous meeting’s minutes.

The image shows the original handwritten or typed page, while the OCR text provides a machine‑readable version for indexing and search.

It is limited to the minutes of that specific meeting; it does not include broader institutional records, personal correspondence, or external documents.
