Annual reports, 1841-1937.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122380207

This collection of annual reports of the Treasurer of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia spans 1841 to 1937. In addition to annual reports, the collection contains correspondence, a list of the treasurers of the College from 1786 to 1937, and a 1909 calendar of College events. Included in the collection are the reports of treasurers John Rodman Paul (1839-1877), Charles Stewart Wurts (1877-1893), Henry M. Fisher (1894-1898), Richard H. Harte (1899-1912), John B. Roberts (1913-1917), and Charles F. Mitchell (1927-1933). The treasurers' annual reports from 1901 to 1933 attest to the increasingly complicated financial situation of the College as it entered the twentieth century. The financial statements from these years include oversized balance sheets providing information on "appropriations" and "collections" for each year. Also included are receipts and disbursements broken down by committee, financial statements of the Building Fund and the "General College Account", lists of stocks and bonds with their original and market values, and a general summary of the financial transactions of the College. Also included are numerous preliminary notes and figures written on the verso of letters and receipts. The financial records of 1910 to 1914 are especially well documented.
