Co-founder of Brown University (1738–1836), he was also responsible for the construction of the first factory houses during the American industrial revolution. ADS, one page, 7.75 x 4.75, August 9, 1834. In a brief excerpt from the closing decision of a board meeting, Brown indicates, in part: “At a Stated Meeting of the Trustees the 9th of 8th Mo. 1834, it is concluded by the board to procure 200 of youthfull [sic] piety which the Clerk is rested to Attend to and Draw on the Treasury.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, scattered light surface and corner creasing, toning along the folds, paper loss to the top left corner, and a small tear at the right edge. Scarce in any form, this unique example of meeting minutes provides a rare glimpse into the affairs of Brown University in its early years.
