- catalog abstract "This collection contains six documents related to the Harvard Fellowship controversy from between 1716 and 1723 that expanded from internal disagreements about the role of Tutors in College governance into a political battle between the Corporation, Board of Overseers, and the Massachusetts General Court. The documents in this collection are in Tutor Nicholas Sever's hand and include manuscript copies of Sever and Tutor William Welsteed's 1721 and 1722 petitions to the Harvard Board of Overseers requesting the Tutors be acknowledged of their right to be Fellows in the Harvard Corporation, and related documents outlining the historical precedence within College laws and charters for the Tutors' argument. The documents provide evidence of the intensive review and interpretation of the College's founding documents by Sever in his effort to change the membership of the Corporation.".
