Quarterly account sheet, 1819

http://id.lib.harvard.edu/alma/990126484710203941/catalog

Single sheet with a handwritten list of Harvard College staff, faculty, and members of the Classes of 1819-1822, each with individual tallies and corresponding amounts owed. The entries do not indicate the purchases represented by the charges, nor does the sheet indicate its author. The list is similar to quarterly account records kept by the College Butler in the 18th century, and may have been generated by the College Steward or Master of the Kitchen to record purchases of food and supplies made by individuals. The last College Butler was a member of the Class of 1799 and the Buttery was abolished in 1801.

Although the Class of 1822 is a serene one as compared with its generation, many of the students of the Class of 1822 received public admonishments as a result of...
