Biographical / Historical
The Office of the Treasurer of the College of Physicians of
Philadelphia was established in the 1787 constitution and bylaws.
The treasurer's original duties were to receive all
College funds and pay all bills. In 1834, an annual
financial report became a require•ent of the office.
The 1882 by-laws give custody to the treasurer of all papers
regarding College finances. By 1900, the custody of all the
College's funds and securities and the ability to invest all
permanent funds (under the direction of the Committee on
Finance) had become the treasurer's chief responsibilities.
In 1914, the custody of all real estate not currently
occupied by the College also became an added duty, and the
treasurer was to keep the accounts of the Office of the
Secretary and all committees (with the exception of the
Committee on the Mutter Museum) as well as pay all bills and
receive any funds from the coamittees. The treasurer became
an ex officio member of the College's Committee on Finance in
1925, The 1935 by-laws state that the treasurer is also to
keep all deeds of gift, deeds of trust, and articles of
agreeaent between donors and the College.
This is currently [1991] an active office.
