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.
