| Resumo |
This collection contains two handwritten committee reports that provide a brief financial overview of the Harvard College Steward's accounts for the quarters ending February 27, 1800 and May 29, 1800. The February 27th statement is dated March 4, 1800, and the May 29th statement is dated June 2, 1800. Title based on handwritten title on document versos. The Harvard Steward was elected by the Corporation to manage the residential operations of the College. The Steward purchased the College’s food provisions and fuel, and supervised the Butler and kitchen staff. The Steward also acted as the financial liaison between the students and the Corporation, collecting tuition, and room and board fees. In 1874, the Steward’s title, reflecting a more finance-oriented position, was changed to Bursar. For additional information see the Early records of the Steward (UAI 71) in the Harvard University Archives. |
