Description
30th Annual Meeting of the Faculty and Financial Reports
Overview
This archival item is a collection of scanned documents and metadata that record the 30th annual meeting of the faculty of the Free Medical College (now part of Drexel University) held on 4 January 1864. The materials include a Dean’s expenditure report, a Treasurer’s report, and a Secretary’s expenditure report, all presented and signed during the meeting. The collection is available as high‑resolution JPEG and TIFF images, accompanied by a JSON metadata file (Pinax) that identifies creators, subjects, and provenance.Background
The Free Medical College, an independent institution in the United States, convened its faculty annually to review financial matters. The 30th meeting was chaired by Dean Erwin Freuler and Secretary A Preston, with Professors Russell, Preston, Seaver, and Cleveland in attendance. The documents were produced by the college’s administrative staff and later digitized for preservation. The metadata indicates the institution as “final‑drexel‑university,” reflecting the college’s later affiliation with Drexel.Contents
- Dean’s Expenditure Report (4 Jan 1864): Lists items such as correspondence ($2.00), matriculation tickets ($5.00), chairs for the sewing room ($4.50), brushes ($1.00), and cleaning ($2.50), totaling $10.75. Signed by Dean Erwin Freuler on 8 Jan 1864.
- Treasurer’s Report (8 Jan 1864): Shows receipts of $147.76 from committee fees and $10.00 for beneficiaries, with payments of $147.75 in dividends and a remaining treasury balance of $10.01. Signed by Secretary A Preston.
- Secretary’s Expenditure Report (1 Dec 1868): Presents a detailed table of miscellaneous expenses (stationery, postage, gas furnace, etc.) totaling $2.47, settled with the treasurer of the Free Medical College. Signed by the Secretary of the Monthly in 1868.
- Metadata File (Pinax): Provides bibliographic details, subject headings, and links to the image files.
