NOTE
A date within parentheses, following a name, indicates, if printed in roman type, the Class of a graduate; if printed in italic type, the Class of a temporary student; but if the Class of a temporary student is not known with certainty, the date is followed by a question mark.
The words “Fellow,” “Monitor,” “President,” “Scholar,” “Treasurer,” “Tutor,” etc., followed by dates, mean that the persons were elected to the offices specified in the years given. The word “present” means present at a Corporation or at an Overseers’ meeting. The words “approved” or “not approved” mean that the choice of the Corporation was approved or not approved by the Overseers. The word “Scholar” is an abbreviation of “Scholar of the House.” The word “Fellow,” followed by a date, means that the person was chosen a Fellow of the Corporation in the year given. The word “Tutor,” followed by a date, means that the person was chosen a Tutor in the year given. For the difficulties in distinguishing between a Fellow of the Corporation and a Tutor, see the Introduction, pages cxxxii–cxxxv. The words “receives money” mean that the money came from the College treasury; if it came from “exhibitions,” the name of the fund is given—as, “obtains Fitch gift,” “Pennoyer gift,” “Sprague gift,” etc. But almost immediately after the founding of the Hollis scholarship, the term “Hollis scholar” came to be used, and this has been employed in its proper place, as has also the term “Hopkins scholar.”
Alphabetical lists of the chief College officials—Fellows, Instructors, Librarians, Presidents, Stewards, Treasurers, and Tutore—are given in the Introduction, pages clii–clxi. The names of those chosen to minor offices will be found at the end of each entry in question—as, “Butler, College,” “Carpenter, College,” “Mason, College,” “Monitor,” “Probationer,” “Proctor,” “Servants, College,” etc.
The persons mentioned in the records naturally fall into two divisions: first, those who as graduates, temporary students, officials, benefactors, etc., had some connection with the College; and secondly, those who are merely casually referred to. Every reasonable effort has been made to identify those who come in the first division; but the problem of identification presents many difficulties, for which see the Introduction, pages cxxxv–cxliv. It is possible, indeed probable, that many of those who come in the second division were graduates of the College, and a few such have been identified; but to identify them all would be an impossible task, and no attempt to do so has been made.
