RG 2.5
COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK.
Office of the Treasurer. Records, 1807-1895. .75 cubic foot (3 boxes)
SUMMARY:
Records of the Treasurer of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the City of New York (P&S), which in 1891 became the medical school of Columbia University.
HISTORICAL NOTE:
The Office of the Treasurer was established by the 1811 charter revision of the College of Physicians and Surgeons. The member of the Board of Trustees who filled the role of Treasurer was usually a layman. A physician, John D. Jacques, was Treasurer from 1811 to 1838, but after this date all P&S Treasurers seem to have been from outside the medical profession. With the merger of P&S into Columbia in 1891, the medical school's finances became the responsibility of the University Treasurer.
ORGANIZATION:
The records are organized in two series: I. Treasurer's reports; II. Miscellaneous records.
SCOPE AND CONTENT:
The bulk of the records are Treasurer's reports, 1811-1890. These are usually annual reports but occasionally address a particular subject, such as the financial claims on the College made by the faculty members who resigned in 1826. The reports are made both to the Board of Trustees of the College and to the Regents of the University of the State of New York.
The miscellaneous records include bills (including many for the construction of the 59th Street building in the 1880s), receipts, promissory notes to faculty members for loans they had made to P&S, and records relating to the Alonzo Clark bequest and the Sloane Maternity Hospital.
RELATED RECORDS:
The records of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, 1857-1915 (acc. #96.03.06) also contain financial information for this period.
