Overview

This archival item is a set of scanned images and accompanying metadata that document the regulations adopted by the Faculty of a 19th‑century college on March 23, 1860.

The item is catalogued under the identifier 01K9ZNW6XJ96BAHQGN14AP6DMY and is hosted on the Pinax platform.

Background

The regulations were issued by the Faculty of the College, an institution associated with the “drexel‑production” label in the metadata. The document reflects governance practices of a medical college in the United States during the pre‑Civil War era. It was adopted at the annual faculty meeting held on the first Monday in January, as stated in Article 2. The regulations were prepared for internal circulation and formal adoption by faculty ballot.

The text is organized into numbered articles covering officer appointments (Dean, Secretary, Treasurer), meeting procedures, and the Dean’s duties. Key provisions include:
  • Article 1: Officer election by ballot.
  • Article 2: Annual meeting schedule.
  • Article 3: Dean’s supervision of buildings, property, and janitorial staff; limited financial authority (≤ $10).
  • Article 7: Quorum requirement (majority of members).
  • Article 8: Restrictions on the Dean’s debt‑making powers.
  • Article 9: Fee schedule for professors ($10), demonstrators ($5), and graduation ($25).
  • Article 11: Fee exemptions after the second session.
  • Article 124: Student payment of demonstrator fees.
  • Article 134: Annual Committee on Beneficiaries and its reporting to the Dean.
  • Article 144: Beneficiaries’ Fund usage and surplus distribution among professors.
  • Article 154: Demonstrator duties and scheduling.
Additional passages describe student supervision, recapitulation duties, and faculty oversight of anatomy lectures.

Scope

It focuses on institutional governance, financial procedures, student obligations, and beneficiary arrangements within the college. The material does not include subsequent amendments or related correspondence.
