Administrative Records

The collections selected for this portion of the project come from the records of the Trustees and President's Office and reflect the activities and expectations of those responsible for administering the college. They include advertisements, examples of faculty inaugural addresses, a report from the College Physician, a report from the Trustees to the Presbyteries supporting the college, treasurer's records and tuition and scholarship receipts.

Except for the inaugural addresses, these records were created in the course of the daily work of the college. The addresses were intended not only for the students but were published and distributed to add to the prestige of the college. Daniel Harvey Hill's address on discipline received national attention and was considered a standard on the subject.
