Faculty Meetings of 1863

Overview

This archival collection comprises the minutes of faculty meetings held at an unspecified college in 1863, preserved in the PINAX system under the identifier 01KA1HGXBDZ8W7C132M4Z216NB. The documents are written in English and include four scanned pages (JPEG/TIFF) dated 11 August, 12 October, 28 October, and 31 October 1863. The collection is part of the “final‑drexel‑university” institutional repository and is accessible via a placeholder URL.

Background

The meetings were convened by the college’s faculty during the academic year 1863. The faculty comprised professors and doctors—Prof. Sample, Prof. Kerr, Prof. Preston, Prof. Scarlett, Prof. Cleveland (Secretary), Dr. Fussell, Dr. Garrison, Prof. Furnell, Prof. Lanlatt, Prof. Russell, Prof. Boates, Dr. Temple, and Dr. Fennell. The minutes record routine administrative business, including lecture scheduling, scholarship allocations, financial distributions, and reports from committees.

Contents

  • Aug 11, 1863: Resolutions to call Dr. Temple for a report from the Invercular Committee and to request Dr. Boates to report on the purchase of articles from Dr. Fennell’s Antiques.
  • Oct 12, 1863: Communication from Dr. Fussell regarding his inability to deliver an introductory lecture; Dr. Garrison was assigned to deliver the lecture instead. The treasurer reported a balance of $447 to be divided among faculty and students.
  • Oct 28, 1863: Adoption of a new lecture schedule (subject to approval by absent members). Scholarship arrangements for Miss Platts (partial ticket payment) and Miss May were approved.
  • Oct 31, 1863: Final approval of the lecture schedule.

Each page contains the meeting date, attendees, motions, resolutions, and signatures of the secretary (E.H. or E.W.C. Cleveland).

Scope

The collection covers administrative decisions made between 11 August and 31 October 1863. It focuses on faculty governance, lecture planning, financial management, and scholarship administration within the college. The materials do not include broader institutional records, student records, or external correspondence beyond the minutes themselves.
