Series VI: Records of the Faculty

Those faculty records that have been preserved constitute only a small fraction of what was generated by the teaching staff. There are a few nineteenth-century contracts, committee reports and two lists of faculty: one titled "American Teachers at Robert College, 1863-1950"; the second titled "Alphabetical List of Former American Teachers" (1953).

Some additional materials may be found among the Dean's records.
