Settlement of chambers, 1741-1764
| Resumo |
The book is comprised of folio-sized pages conserved in a modern soft-cover binding. The volume consists of yearly handwritten lists of dormitory room assignments for the years 1741-1753 and 1761-1764. Students are listed by last name and building names are often abbreviated as "M" for Massachusetts Hall, "S" for Stoughton Hall, and "O" for Old College or Harvard Hall. The organizational pattern varies by list, some are alphabetical, others arranged by building and room number. The lists for 1743, 1748, 1749, 1761-1764 also note students living outside of the College and their locations. The lists for 1761-1764 also include the waiters and monitors for the academic year. Title taken from verso of last leaf in book. Pages are not bound in strict chronological order. Harvard College's President and Tutors assigned chambers and studies in the College to students. They determined dormitory room assignments for the upcoming academic year in August, usually on the last day of the College's summer recess. Typed transcription available. |
