Overview
Vol. 1 includes autographs of Fellows as signatories to the constitution, 1787-1922 (pages 5, 7, 34-40k). By action of Council, in 1923 this volume was retired to the College archives. A photocopy of the earlier signatures was made, and new fellows sign that copy. The Council of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia was established in 1863. The Council originally consisted of the President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, the Censors, and six elected Councillors who served three year terms. In 1998, the College adopted revised by-laws. The name of the College's governing body was changed from "Council," used for 135 years, to "Board of Trustees" and "Councilors" have become "Trustees."
