Inspector's Records 1793-1857

http://arks.princeton.edu/ark:/88435/d791sg17t

The Inspector's records consist of reports, receipts, vouchers, accounts and some correspondence concerning repairs to student rooms and other buildings.

The position of Inspector was instituted in 1767 and apparently lasted until the mid-19th century at which time it merged into the Treasurer's Office.
