The Board of Trustees was established in 1820 with the founding of Indiana Seminary, and the first president was appointed in 1829. These presidents’ reports to the Board of Trustees date from 1881-1947 and include recommendations, financial statements, correspondence, and other documents pertaining to various construction projects, academic department needs and developments, student welfare, finances, and the overall management of the university. The collection also includes one volume of reports (1902-1914) from Indiana University to the state Legislative Visiting Committee.
