- catalog abstract "This collection documents the involvement of Eliphalet Pearson, Hancock Professor of Hebrew and Other Oriental Languages and the College's interim President from 1804 to 1806, in the selection of the Hollis Professor of Divinity in 1805 at Harvard. Correspondence from New England ministers supports Pearson's desire to elect an orthodox Calvinist as Hollis Professor of Divinity, a narrative written by Pearson defends the selection of a Calvinist as Divinity Professor, and nomination slips and ballots provide evidence of the voting preferences of the Fellows of the Harvard Corporation. Additional records contain the questions Pearson used to challenge the election of Henry Ware as Hollis Professor of Divinity, extracts taken from the Massachusetts General Court Acts of 1642, 1650, and 1657 and the Harvard Corporation records used in Pearson's research during the selection process, a draft of a broadside focusing on theology, and Henry Ware's course of reading for divinity students at Harvard.".

- catalog description "When David Tappan (1752-1803), the third Hollis Professor of Divinity, died on August 27, 1803, efforts to appoint a replacement by the Harvard Corporation stalled over religious beliefs the next Hollis Professor should hold. The Reverend Henry Ware (1764-1845), a Unitarian Congregationalist, was supported by the laymen members of the Corporation. However, Eliphalet Pearson (1752-1826), Hancock of Professor of Hebrew and other Oriental Languages, argued that the statutes of the Hollis Professorship of Divinity required that the Divinity Professor be a Calvinist. The Corporation was equally divided and after several trial ballots Ware was nominated for the Hollis professorship by a single vote. On February 14, 1805, the Board of Overseers elected Ware as the new Hollis Professor of Divinity.".
