East Florida Seminary. Board of Education.
     Minutes, 1870-1905.
     1 vol.
 
    Minutes of the governing board of the East Florida Seminary in Gainesville, Florida.  Sometimes referred to in the minutes as the Board of Trustees,  but more often as the Board of Education.  Minutes of 1870-1875, and perhaps later minutes, were transcribed from other records and are not in chronological order.  In addition to official actions of the board, the minutes often include financial reports and letters read into the record.  Pages 142-147 contain the rules of the Board of Education dated Feb. 4, 1884.
    Several items were tipped into the volume. At the beginning, there is a memorandum dated June 16, 1943, from Edith Pitts, administrative assistant to President Tigert, to Nelle Barmore, Acting Head of the Library, requesting that the volume be placed in the Florida Collection.  Between pages 340 and 345, a hardware receipt from E. Baird & Co., a court judgement entitled "Form of Bond", and the Program of Organization and Recitation and Instruction were added to the record by library staff.
