• catalog abstract "The Papers of Eliphalet Pearson contain materials he created over more than a half century beginning as a Harvard undergraduate between 1768 and 1773, and later, as the Hancock Professor of Hebrew and Other Oriental Languages and a member of the Harvard Corporation. Notably, the collection includes a notebook listing essay prompts that Pearson assigned his students as a Harvard professor, a notebook of College student disorders, and an account book where Pearson documented his management of his daughter, Mary's, estate. The notebook of College student disorders contains entries about various student "disorders" which occurred during Eliphalet Pearson’s tenure at Harvard, ranging from practical jokes and food fights to more serious offenses. The largest series in the collection are the Papers related to Harvard administration (Series VI). The items in this series touch on Pearson's work providing research information for the Harvard Corporation, and between 1800 and 1805, his work as one of its members. Pearson approached legal and financial issues facing the Harvard Corporation by examining historical precedent, and many of the papers are extracts and calculations from earlier College and government records. The documents reflect Pearson's work on issues facing the Harvard Corporation, including Harvard's attempt in 1798 and 1799 to expand its real estate tax-exemptions, and the persistent impact of inflation and currency depreciation on the cost of living for Harvard staff and faculty in the post-Revolutionary War economy. The collection offers a resource for studying undergraduate education at Harvard, and the administrative issues facing the College in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.".
