New York, NY 10027 Language(s) of material English, Turkish, Bulgarian. History of Robert College

Robert College, the first American-sponsored college founded outside the United States, opened its doors in Bebek, Turkey, in 1863 with four students. The following year the American trustees obtained papers

of incorporation in the State of New York allowing the institution to raise funds in support of the experiment. The College was an outgrowth of American missionary efforts within the Ottoman Empire, but had no formal connection with the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Under the leadership of the Reverend Cyrus Hamlin, a Congregational minister, who had spent many years in Turkey, and with the support of Christopher R. Robert, a prosperous New York merchant, the college gradually became recognized as an important institution for educating the Christian minorities within the Ottoman Empire. Cyrus Hamlin's desire to establish a permanent campus increasingly diverted his energies from administrative duties. After protracted negotiations and considerable resistance from the Turkish authorities, he secured a site above the fortress of Rumeli Hisar overlooking the Bosphorus and began personally to oversee construction of the new building. In the process he became increasingly alienated from his colleagues and as a consequence the trustees shifted responsibility for administering the college to George Washburn, a long time resident of Turkey who had served as I treasurer for the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions before joining the Robert College faculty. In 1871 the College moved to its new campus and while the number of students grew so did the tension between Hamlin and the faculty. In 1877 the trustees officially named Washburn president, though in fact he had been acting as such for some years. During his long tenure, Washburn gradually assembled a faculty of distinguished scholars who firmly established the College's academic reputation. These professors were augmented by tutors from the United States and by local academics. With the death of Christopher Robert in 1878, the College lost one of its leaders and its chief benefactor. However, his generous bequest laid the basis for an endowment. That same year the College's first catalog was published showing that since 1863, 912 students of many nationalities had attended and 76 had graduated. The number of students grew markedly during the l880s but in the process the physical plant and equipment gradually became outmoded and faculty morale declined. In the United States a new group of trustees was recruited, and men such as John S. Kennedy, Cleveland H. Dodge and William Sloane inspired an ambitious building program that both expanded and revitalized the College. In 1903, Dr. Caleb F. Gates succeeded George Washburn as president. During his twenty-nine year administration the student body underwent a dramatic transformation as the Young Turk movement led to an unprecedented demand for education along western lines. Concurrently, government relaxation of barriers against attending foreign schools encouraged the enrollment of Turkish youngsters in existing institutions such as Robert College.

In 1912 the School of Engineering was established, a major step in harmony with the needs of a Turkey determined to modernize itself and provide technical education to its young generation. With the coming of World War I, Robert College faced a host of pressures and experienced severe shortages of supplies. Nevertheless, the college continued to fulfill its educational mission. Even after the United States entered the war and severed diplomatic relations with Turkey, Robert College was never obliged to close its doors. A significant indication of the relationship I between the two countries is the fact that there was no declaration of hostilities-- despite the fact that Turkey was allied with the Central Powers. At the end of the war the rising spirit of Turkish nationalism left the fate of an American institution precarious. However, by the 1920s Robert College--which had been in existence for over half a century-- had won the respect of Turkish leaders who recognized the crucial role of education to the process of modernization. Moreover, the United States government had never over the years become associated in the public's mind with efforts to dismember the Ottoman Empire. Finally, President Woodrow Wilson's emphasis on self-determination of nations was in accord with Turkish desires for independence in the wake of World War I. During the 1920s a militantly nationalist Turkish government sought to exercise increased control over all schools through its Ministry of Education. While this thrust was not in accord with American traditions of institutional autonomy, both the government and then college maintained a degree of flexibility over the years that made it possible for generations of Turkish students to become educated in the Western liberal tradition and thereby contribute to the development of modern Turkey. This can be attributed, in some measure, to a respect for the secular traditions of the West on the part of Kemal Ataturk. The retirement of President Caleb Gates in 1932 closed a twenty-nine year chapter in the history of the College. By that time the impact of the worldwide economic depression had severely strained the institution's finances. The trustees appointed Dr. Paul Monroe of Teachers College, Columbia University, to consolidate the college in the face of its reduced income. One of his first moves was the merger of Robert College with the American College for Girls (ACG) under a single president, though the two institutions continued for many years to maintain their separate Boards of Trustees and their separate endowments. The American College for Girls was an outgrowth of an educational experiment called The Home School founded in 1871 in Istanbul by the Woman's Board of Missions and a group of women educators from Boston. In 1890 under the leadership of May Mills Patrick, and with the support of Sarah L. Bowker, Caroline Borden and other Boston women, the school was granted an act of incorporation as an educational institution by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Home School had been gradually adding post-high school course work over the years and, in June 1891, conferred Bachelor of Arts degrees on its first seven graduates. As in the case of Robert College, ACG enrolled the Christian minorities within the Ottoman Empire. The first Turkish women attended surreptitiously, but more openly and in increasing numbers following the Young Turk uprising of 1908. The process of recruiting faculty members was a difficult one and some instructors pursued graduate work while they taught. In December 1905 a disastrous fire destroyed Barton Hall, the main instructional building, but fortunately no lives were lost. In the next few years Dr. Patrick increased her efforts to expand the college's facilities. By 1914 property had been purchased at Arnavutköy and four new buildings constructed. A fifth, Bingham Hall, was added in 1924. In the

meantime the college had secured a second charter from the Massachusetts legislature in 1908 allowing it to develop independently from the restrictions of the Woman's Board of Missions. The dedication of the new campus was followed in the same year by the outbreak of World War I. Remarkably, the College survived the privations of wartime Istanbul and the Turkish government permitted it to function even after the U.S. declared war on Turkey's allies, the Central Powers. Although some students represented nationalities at war with each other they continued to pursue their education side-by-side during the four years of the conflict. One of Dr. Patrick's strongest convictions was that medical education be available to women. In 1920, a medical department was opened at ACG together with the founding of The American Hospital (subsequently known as the Admiral Bristol Hospital). By 1924, however, the trustees of the College concluded that they could not continue to fund the medical department. Shortly afterward the Turkish government decided to limit such professional training to its own educational institutions. In 1924 Dr. Patrick retired and was succeeded by Kathryn Newell Adams, who had headed the English Department since 1920. She served until 1931. Prior to the appointment of Paul Monroe in 1932 as the president of both Robert College and the Amerlcan College for Girls, the two institutions had begun sharing instructors for certain elective classes. The stringencies imposed by the depression led to further consolidation. When ill health compelled the retirement of Dr. Monroe in 1935, he was succeeded as head of the two institutions by Dr. Walter Livingston Wright, Jr., an Ottoman scholar whose extensive knowledge of the Near East served the colleges well during an era of profound change in Turkey. President Wright faced the continuous task of maintaining academic standards in the face of financial stringency. The curriculum underwent revision as the College strove to adapt to the needs of a nation undergoing modernization. As Europe's crises of the late 1930s brought war in 1939, it became increasingly difficult to attract qualified teachers. Moreover, when the U.S. became involved in 1941, President Wright was called to Washington to serve as an advisor on Near Eastern affairs. Dean Harold L. Scott, who had served Robert College in several capacities since 1911, guided the institutions through most of the war years acting as president. In 1944 Floyd Henson Black was appointed president of the college. His first teaching position had been as a tutor at Robert College in 1911. In 1914 he had returned to the United States and after completing his doctorate at Harvard he it returned in 1919 to teach Latin. In 1926 he was appointed president of the American College in Sofia where he served for the next eighteen years. By 1944, however, the war forced the closing of the college in Sofia and Floyd Black returned, this time to a combined Robert College and American College for Girls, to lead it into the postwar years. By the war's end the college was highly respected in Turkey and there was no difficulty attracting students. The problems centered on a shortage of faculty and the College's aging physical facilities. Financial constraints and an overburdened faculty threatened an erosion of academic standards, even while extracurricular activities, drama, and athletics flourished. The college found itself at a crossroads and with the impending retirement of Dr. Black in 1955, the faculty sought to re-evaluate the academic needs of the institution while the trustees undertook to seek new sources of funding. In 1955 Dr. Duncan Ballantine, President of Reed College, was appointed by a joint presidential search committee composed of RC and ACG trustees. His mandate was to revitalize the academic programs at the college. After a year-long study sweeping changes were made. The orta, which

trained eleven to fourteen-year-old youngsters, was phased out. The four-year lise was made comparable to the three-year Turkish lise and designated Robert Academy. The collegiate division was granted permission by the Turkish Government to award Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees as well as Master's degrees in both fields. The college program was reorganized into three departments, the Engineering School, the School of Business Administration, and the School of Science and Foreign Languages. All three departments were to be coeducational. In 1958 a comparable change was made at the level of the trustees, when both Boards of Trustees and both endowments were merged under the corporate name of The Trustees of Robert College of Istanbul. This merger was ratified in 1959 by an amendment to the charter granted by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York. In 1961, Dr. Ballantine resigned and was succeeded in 1962 by Dr. In Patrick Murphy Malin, who had taught Economics at Swarthmore College and later served as executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union. Dr. Malin presided over the centennial celebrations of the college held in 1963. During its first century the college had fulfilled the vision of its chief founders, Christopher Robert, Cyrus Hamlin and Mary Mills Patrick, by educating successive generations of young people, beginning with the Ottoman Empire and continuing under the Turkish Republic. Timeline: 1863 Robert College founded by Hamlin and Robert. 1871 American College for Girls (originally known as The Home School) founded in Gedikpasa. 1874 American College for Girls moved to Uskudar. 1912 Engineering school opened at Robert College (with first civil engineering program in Turkey). 1914 American College for Girls moved to Arnavutköy campus. 1932 Administration of RC and ACG united under leadership of a single president. 1958 Three new schools added to the degree-granting Yuksek (Higher Education) Division of Robert College. Boards of Trustees and endowment funds of both Colleges merged under the name of the Trustees of Robert College of Istanbul. 1971 Robert College Yüksek transferred to the Turkish Government and now carries on the Robert academic tradition as Bogaziçi University. Robert Academy and ACG combined physically on the Arnavutköy campus as a co- educational six-year preparatory school. Description The records of Robert College are organized into fifteen series. Series fifteen of Robert College Records contains a vital documents series, a substantial collection of photographs, and a sizable body of records that relate to both Robert College and the American College for Girls. The collection also contains personal papers of some of the leading figures in the history of each institution, notably Cyrus Hamlin, George Washburn, Christopher Robert, Caleb F. Gates, Mary Mills Patrick and Caroline Borden. Cyrus Hamlin's earliest papers date from the 1830s, while the

correspondence of the correspondence Caleb Gates and Mary Patrick extends into their retirement years as they continued to remain in close touch with their colleagues and former students. The earliest records of ACG date from 1890, the year of its founding with a charter from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The records are not as complete for the early years as for the later ones. Nevertheless, they document the pioneering role of ACG in opening higher education to women in the Near East and thereby enrich our understanding of the dramatic changes in the changes in the status of women during the twentieth century. The collection contains a large proportion of college officials in Istanbul and the Office York. The vital role played by the trustees and material support to both colleges is well documented. Throughout the correspondence that concerns the operations of the colleges there can be found many commentaries on events in Turkey and the outlying regions of the Ottoman Empire. Moreover, the administrators of both institutions reported on their travels in Europe and the Near East. They wrote about Turkey and conditions during the Russo-Turkish conflict and both World Wars. Finally, they followed with great interest the modernization in Turkey and sought to adapt their own institutions to the far-reaching changes in Turkish society. Thus, while theses records contain the history of two American colleges, they are also significant sources for the study of modern Turkey. Accordingly, extensive descriptions of each record series are provided. Arrangement This collection is arranged in 15 series.

Hamlin, and in addition relate some events of the American Civil War as viewed from New York. Included is a single file of letters from Hamlin's brother, Hannibal, who worked in the Treasury Department and thus provided Cyrus with some account of the war from his post in Washington. The records contain correspondence between Robert and Hamlin regarding the purchase of instructional materials, a list of Robert's donations, and the items purchased. The expenses of the college's first year are part of the financial record. Included is correspondence from Hamlin relating to the 1862 murder of Rev. William Merriam, an American missionary in Turkey. There is also a narration of the origins of the college (undated) prepared by Christopher Robert. Subseries I.2: Personal Papers of Cyrus Hamlin. In addition to documenting the founding of the College, this record group contains some personal papers of Cyrus Hamlin. They include his earlier activities in Maine as well as his longtime involvement in the Near East. The personal papers are chronologically arranged. They include sermons (1837-1839, 1841, 1843, 1858 and undated); lectures on Africa and "the conflict of Science and Religion"; a minute book recording visits among the Irish immigrants in Maine; and the management of an evening school for Irish Catholics, 1836-1844. There is a journal of Hamlin's travels in Turkey as a teacher and missionary, 1840-1844, and another journal of a brief trip to Salonica and the Balkans in 1844. Among the other papers are accounts of his work at the seminary in Bebek prior to the founding of the college; a letter to his children, 1848; and a memorandum of his visit to his patients afflicted with cholera during the 1860s that includes their symptoms and treatment. These journals and documents are noteworthy because they contain more detailed accounts than those in Hamlin's published memoir, My Life and Times (1893). Series II: Records of the Trustees Subseries II. 1: Christopher Robert. From the earliest days of the college, the trustees played an important role. Christopher Robert was the central figure on the Board of Trustees until his death in 1878; he was both a leader and I benefactor. The first two presidents, Cyrus Hamlin and George Washburn, wrote regularly to Robert reporting the College's progress, describing their negotiations with Ottoman officials, and each relating his own views of disputes between them. Hamlin's I correspondence covers the period 1864-1875, while Washburn's runs from 1867-1879. Robert followed developments carefully, became involved in decisions large and small, and endeavored to encourage g them in their efforts. He became the arbiter of conflicts between Hamlin and Washburn, and was also asked to mediate between Hamlin and a sometimes aggrieved faculty. (Some typescripts of the II correspondence appear in Series 13.) For the first fifteen years of the College, Robert's records as a trustee offer the most comprehensive documentation of its development as an institution. Moreover, his records, as well as those of other trustees, contain letters from Hamlin and Washburn sprinkled with commentaries on political developments within the Ottoman Empire, including the Bulgarian rebellion and the Russo-Turkish War of 1877 One of the College's major concerns was recruitment of faculty. Instructors lived under rudimentary conditions with each having to teach a variety of subjects. Hamlin's long teaching hours, and the difficulties he encountered clearing title to land for the college, as well as his acerbic personality, all combined to produce strained relations with his colleagues. To aid faculty

recruitment Robert kept up a lively correspondence with several seminaries in the it Northeast, notably Auburn, New York. They were asked to provide young tutors in place of the more experienced faculty alienated by Hamlin. There is correspondence from Albert L. Long spanning 1873-1877. Long served as secretary of the faculty and he writes of faculty appointments, financial matters, and other concerns of the institution. He provided Christopher Robert with numbers of students and the nationalities from which they were drawn. Long's correspondence also reflects his concern with the wider world of diplomacy and politics, and with the coming of the Russo-Turkish War. His letters discuss the origins of that conflict and its economic impact on the college. He reports the death of Sultan Abdulaziz and subsequent signs of discontent in the Ottoman Empire. Washburn's correspondence to Robert is particularly notable for the wealth of information it conveys. There are statistics of the nationalities represented in the student body, detailed financial reports, and accounts of student activities. The rift between Washburn and Hamlin is documented in the letters from both men to Robert. Hamlin became openly resentful of Washburn's enhanced role, while both Robert and Washburn advised him to concentrate his efforts on supervising the new construction and on fundraising in the U.S. to build an endowment. Washburn also devotes considerable attention to the political crisis in the Ottoman Empire, the Bulgarian revolution, and the Russo-Turkish conflict. His correspondence will be valuable to students of Near East history. A sizable portion of the records are concerned with detailed administrative reports, the purchase of books and supplies, matters attendant on the construction of new buildings, hiring of new teachers, and the securing of property rights for RC in Turkey. Robert's friend in the U.S. Treasury Department, W. F. Clarke, writes of his efforts to gain support from the State Department and I influential Congressmen on behalf of RC's property rights vis-a-vis the Turkish Government. Following the death of Christopher Robert in 1878, letters and reports from the college were directed to C. H. Merriman, Robert's personal secretary. This correspondence covers the years 1878-1898. However, it lacks the personal quality of the letters to Robert and is more businesslike and routine. Box 9 contains correspondence among the trustees, notably Reverend David B. Coe, Walter Badger, and William A. Booth, all of whom were also active in the governance of the American Home Missionary Society. Contents include letters from Christopher Robert, Cyrus Hamlin, George Washburn, Alexander van Millingen, Caleb Gates, John S. Kennedy, and Cleveland H. Dodge. Correspondence spans the period 1869-1903. There are the usual trustee concerns, though the board members also undertook to hire tutors, in consultation with the RC administration. There are letters from Christopher Robert to Reverend Coe describing his travels abroad in 1870 and 1875 that included trips to the college. While in England he heard Prime Minister Disraeli address the Parliament and the Archbishop of Canterbury speak in Exeter Hall. Moreover, in Turkey he records his meetings with missionaries, teachers, students and public officials. Robert

is an informative and enthusiastic correspondent. The college is the embodiment of his vision and his letters are of particular interest. Cyrus Hamlin's estrangement from the college is documented in his letters to Reverend Coe. Subseries II.2: General. Caleb Frank Gates succeeded to the presidency of RC in 1903 and Box 10 contains correspondence between Gates and Trustee Cleveland H. Dodge from 1914-1919. Earlier years are missing from this correspondence, but there is important material on World War I and I its powerful impact upon the college. (Despite the wartime censorship, Gates's reports are substantive because he was able to send them through the U.S. embassy via diplomatic pouch.) When I Turkey severed diplomatic relations with the U.S. in 1917 the college continued to function despite several attempts by the Turkish military to take possession of the buildings. Series III: Records of the President Subseries III.1: Cyrus Hamlin. The presidential records of Cyrus Hamlin (1863-1877) and George Washburn (1877-1903) contain a wealth of information about the early years of Robert College. There are many letters from Christopher Robert demonstrating his thoroughgoing involvement in the operation of the college. Both Hamlin and Washburn reported events in considerable detail (Trustees' Records) and Robert followed developments carefully. Robert wished to document the development of Robert College as a record for future generations (letter to Washburn, March 20, 1869). The correspondence traces the difficulties regarding purchase of land for the college site, attempts to secure the from the Turkish government, and Secretary of State William Seward's assistance in gaining the necessary authority to establish the college. One can chart the development of the institution in these letters, from the organization of the Board of Trustees, to the growth in the number of students and faculty during these early years. There is also material related to development in the United States. In the course of h1s letters to Hamlin, for example, Christopher Robert discusses his travels to the post-Civil War South as well as his establishment of a short-lived private school for poor whites at Lookout Mountain, Tennessee. Subseries III.2: George Washburn. While Hamlin busied himself with construction of the new campus buildings, Washburn served as director with a mandate to "organize" and run the college. His managerial abilities were such that he increasingly earned Robert's confidence. Meanwhile Hamlin and Robert gradually became alienated. The correspondence includes Robert's commentaries on the reports he received from Washburn regarding the political situation in Turkey. The formers intense personal faith bolstered his conviction that the college would succeed despite the difficulties posed by the unsettled conditions in the Near East. Some faculty correspondence to Washburn survives and offers insight into life at Robert College from the faculty's perspective. In addition there are letters from friends in the United States who had ties to Turkey or were involved with the college. There is an important file of letters to Washburn from the philanthropist John Stewart Kennedy, who served as chairman of the college's Board of Trustees from 1895 until his death in 1909. Kennedy, like Robert, was actively involved in the affairs of the college. His correspondence reflects his concern with the political tensions in Turkey near the turn of the century. He reported on his meetings with Presidents Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt regarding the protection of Americans in Turkey. At one point in 1896 Kennedy offered to charter a steam

yacht to be anchored in the Bosphorus if an evacuation should become necessary. Washburn declined the offer. Subseries III.3: Caleb F. Gates. Caleb Frank Gates served as president of the college from 1903 to 1932. Fewer official records have survived from his presidency than LJ from his two predecessors. Some may be found in the Annual Reports of the President, and correspondence from the 1920s is included in the New York Office records. Subseries III.4: Monroe, Wright, Black, Ballantine. Paul Monroe (president from 1932-1935) ; Walter Wright (president from 1935 to 1943); Floyd H. Black (president from 1944-1955); Dunan Ballantine (president from 1955-1961) Subseries III.5: Annual Reports. The annual reports chart the building of Robert College, both in the physical and institutional sense. These early reports have something of the "pioneer" spirit to them, as the staff and students try, as one report says, "to make ends meet." Often, this involves the simple yet elusive goal of self-sufficiency. The most common themes in these annual reports are the erection of buildings, the application for the irade, and the recruitment of students. By 1874 Washburn, under the report's section entitled "General Influence of the College in the Empire" (Folder 8) felt secure enough to claim, not without some hyperbole, that RC was so well established as to be "known and talked about even in the most remote villages of the Balkans and in every town in Asia Minor." Series IV: Records of the Vice President, George H. Huntington There are eight folders of records of George H. Huntington (Box 29) comprising general correspondence and spanning the period 1927-1952 (not inclusive). Until 1933 he served as vice president and at LJ times as acting president. After that year he resided in the U.S. and was treated for paralysis of the legs. Some of his letters are datelined Warm Springs, Georgia. Series V: Records of the Dean Subseries V.1: Edgar Fisher. [Restricted] Subseries V.2: Laurence S. Moore. While serving as dean, Moore was designated acting president during Monroe's absence from the campus for several months at a time. Subseries V.3: Harold Scott. The dean was occupied with many administrative matters including teaching appointments, housing for faculty, salaries, and textbooks. Dean Harold Scott's records reflect these duties. But there is also a considerable amount of correspondence with friends and former colleagues that provides information about the college and Robert Academy, as well as comments on the Near East. Scott corresponded with Floyd Henson Black while Black served as president of the American College in Sofia during the 1930s. During J. Black's presidency of Robert College (1944-1955) they corresponded while the latter traveled to the U.S. to recruit faculty and raise funds. Scott also continued to correspond with George Huntington following the latter's retirement. Huntington reported extensively on the activities of faculty and alumni in the U.S. The Huntington home often served as "home base" for visitors from Turkey. With the corning of World War II, Scott's correspondence conveys the problems facing college administrators during the war years. Scott remained in Turkey until the 1950s and was active in college affairs until his death in 1958.

Subseries V.4: Harold Hazen. This subseries contains Hazen's general correspondence, principally to RC administrators and trustees. Series VI: Records of the Faculty Those faculty records that have been preserved constitute only a small fraction of what was generated by the teaching staff. There are a few nineteenth-century contracts, committee reports and two lists of faculty: one titled "American Teachers at Robert College, 1863-1950"; the second titled "Alphabetical List of Former American Teachers" (1953). Some additional materials may be found among the Dean's records. Series VII: Records of the Students While fragmentary, this series contains lists of students by nationality and age covering the period 1882-1890. There are programs of special events, a student handbook of rules and regulations from 1914, and other items of interest. See also student publications, Box 49 Series VIII: Records of Alumni The five folders of alumni records include lists of graduates of the College of Arts and Science organized by year and by nationality group. There is also a list with biographical data titled "Some Distinguished Graduates of Robert College" dated 1950. For additional materials see alumni publications, Boxes 49-50. Series IX: Records of the Office of the Trustees, New York In 1920 a single business office was established for three of the independent Near East Colleges College. The office supervised the procurement of the colleges. Under the direction of Albert in New York City including Robert of supplies for all Staub the New York B LI\., Office coordinated efforts to raise funds so as to liquidate debts incurred during World War I and to provide adequate operating funds for the postwar years. In 1927 the New York Office was formally constituted as the Near East College Association. The records of this office date from 1923 and serve to document the close link between Robert College administrators in Istanbul and 0 their supporters and benefactors in the united States. It has since I functioned as the Office of the Trustees. The presidents and deans of the college wrote regularly to Albert Staub, reporting on developments at the college, enrollments, the need for new faculty, budgetary matters, and requirements for supplies necessary for the functioning of the college. The profound changes that took place in Turkey during the 1920s had their effect on the college. On the one hand, the government under Ataturk took an ever increasing responsibility for educating the nation's youth. On the other hand, Turkish leaders became increasingly wary of foreign influences on Turkish society. Fortunately, RC was a well-established institution that had a long LJ history of cooperation with Turkish authorities. In particular, the RC school of Engineering became an increasingly important place for training Turkish young men who would playa large role in the process of modernization. In 1928 the government granted graduates of Robert College the right to practice as engineers, and the following year the engineering school received official recognition from Turkish authorities.

Most of the correspondence is concerned with the day-to-day operation of the college and the always present problems of fund-raising; there is also, however, a sprinkling of commentary on political developments in Turkey as well as current issues in the United States. In particular, the U.S. Senate's consideration of the Lausanne Treaty was followed with great interest. Another subject of importance is President Gates's emphasis on the relationship between religious instruction and character building. With the onset of the great depression in the 1930s, the college was forced into financial retrenchment and the presidency of Paul Monroe, who served from 1932-1935, was preoccupied with economic problems. His successor Walter Wright was concerned as well, about the increase in taxes enacted by the Turkish government. Wright also sees a more positive trend in the quality of new students and the fact that families of "political prominence" were beginning to enroll their children in the college. By the late 1930s, with war clouds gathering, the Turkish government demonstrated a desire to improve relations with the democratic nations, particularly the united States. One expression of was the action taken by the government in exempting from the Buildings Tax (March 23, 1939). this the World War II compelled a number of faculty members to leave for military service and the College had to operate with a much reduced staff. The problems of operating an American educational institution in the Near East during wartime are well detailed in the letters of Walter Wright, Harold Scott (acting president), and Wright's successor Floyd Black. Scott, for example, enthuses about the arrival of "much needed reinforcements" in the form of five new instructors. are ready to "Their spirit cooperate in is splendid every possible and it is manner" obvious (January that they 21, 1944). Series X: Financial Records This series spans the years from the 1860s to the 1940s. A sizable portion of the early records concern the expenses of constructing buildings on the Bebek campus. There are financial statements for the 1870s prepared by George Washburn in his capacity as treasurer and an 1899 list of securities held by the trustees on behalf of the College. In many instances there is correspondence that refers to financial matters. As the College grew the records became more elaborate, encompassing such subjects as beneficiary funds, procedures for aiding needy students and financing operations under the stringencies imposed by World Wars I and II. There is an incomplete series of minutes of the finance committee of the trustees for the early 1930s and early 1940s. Relations between the College and the Turkish government became strained during the 1930s with the enactment of the Minimum Profits Tax. This law treated colleges as though they were commercial enterprises and thus was a source of concern to RC administrators. There are extensive reports of conferences with tax officials over the application of the tax to educational institutions. Much of the correspondence in this series relates to the availability of supplies and the cost of transporting them to Turkey from the United States. There are several printed pamphlets and broadsides designed for fundraising that describe the College, provide some historical background and discuss the institution's financial needs in order fulfill its mission. These materials range in date from 1873 to 1919. Series XI: Official College Events These records include Founders Day addresses, commencement addresses, the dedication of Henrietta Washburn Hall, and musical programs. Included in the speeches are tributes to Cyrus

Hamlin, Cleveland Dodge and Caleb Gates. They span the years from the 1860s to the 1950s, though there are many gaps. Series XII: Publications Brief runs of student publications as well as alumni publications comprise the major portion of this series. There are also magazines and newsletters of the Near East College Association. The earliest is dated 1916 while Bosphorus was published in the 1960s and afterwards. Several have rather brief runs. In addition, are the student yearbooks of Robert College, the Record, beginning with 1919, though there are some gaps. Series XIII: Historical Writings This series contains a variety of published and some unpublished material. Included are many newspaper articles published in the United States and abroad spanning the dates 1870 to 1963. Some of the earliest ones were written by George Washburn and Caroline Borden. There is significant biographical information on the life and family of Christopher Robert, Cyrus Hamlin, George Washburn, Cleveland Dodge and family, and Caleb F. Gates. Upon the retirement of Dr. Gates in 1932 a 60-page illustrated booklet was published containing appreciative essays by his colleagues. There is a folder of material dated 1881-1883 pertaining to the suit contesting the will of Christopher Robert. Robert College was a major beneficiary under the terms of the will and the courts sustained it as originally drawn. Of particular interest are the extensive notes of Keith M. Greenwood, an instructor at the College and author of "Robert College: The American Founders" (unpublished dissertation, Johns Hopkins University, 1965). These notes include extensive typescripts from the correspondence of Robert, Hamlin and Washburn. This series also contains a number of articles and typescripts relating to Turkish history, the role of Americans in Turkey, and the work of missionaries, particularly under the Ottoman Empire. Other historical works of interest include "History of the Kaidar Site (near Rumeli Hisar)" written by W. F. Clarke, to Secretary of I State William Seward, 1868, and a "Summary of the facts relating to the purchase of land at Rumeli Hisar," also by W. F. Clarke, 1868. There are brief unpublished historical sketches of the College written from 1903 to the 1950s. Included are typescripts by Caleb I Gates, Floyd Black, Lynn Scipio, and handwritten notes apparently by Harold Scott. In addition there is a photocopy of a typescript history by Sylvia Kuran titled "A Legacy on the Bosphorus," and a more extensive draft of a history by several authors. Eshref Sakarya has written "The Robert College Natural History Museum," an account of this important I collection. Another typescript is a "fictional-memoir" by Ali Neyzi of his years as a boarding student at Robert College from 1938-1946. This is an English translation of a published Turkish I original. Professor Cyril Edwin Black has written a remembrance of his father Floyd Henson Black dated 1984, and Harry A. Dawe contributed a typescript titled "Istanbul Amerikan Robert Lisesi: I The Orphan Child of Robert College and the American College for Girls. " Finally there is a three volume typescript history of the College written by Herbert Lane (1913-1976), longtime teacher of English, organizer of the alumni office in Turkey, editor of the Alumni Bulletin, and keeper of the College records. Although not I footnoted, it represents the most

complete account of the College's history at this time (1987). It contains an index and bibliography. " Series XIV: Oversize Material This series contains a varied group of documents. These include a manuscript of an autobiographical essay of Christopher R. Robert (undated), apparently written in his own hand, drafts of letters, apparently written by Cyrus Hamlin (undated), newspaper articles reporting Robert's visit to Robert College in 1870, copies of diplomas from Robert College and ACG in various languages, and a printed copy of the Treaty of Peace with Turkey signed at Sèvres, 1920. Several folders pertain to the Engineering School. Included are a copy of the Imperial Irade, dated 1928, authorizing the school's establishment, Annual Reports from 1916-1932, and a report on the school written by Harold Hazen in 1955. There is a folder containing faculty proposals to the Ford Foundation, 1950s and 1960s, and a document entitled "The Official Regulations of the Istanbul American College" [1950s]. This series also includes five copies of Robert College's Seventy Fifth Anniversary Publication, 1863-1932, as well as messages of congratulations from colleges in the United States in honor of the one hundredth anniversary of Robert College's founding. There are several publications pertaining to Turkey, e.g., Turkey the Beautiful (1939). Additional oversize materials include two bound volumes titled "Extracts From the Correspondence of the President, Director and Treasurer of Robert College of Constantinople Essential to its History." They cover the measures period February 1868 to January 1875. These represent copies of a major portion of the correspondence of Hamlin and Washburn whose originals are elsewhere in the collection. (Note: these volumes have suffered water damage and some pages are disintegrating. They remain closed to researchers are completed.)

Series XV: Combined Records: Robert College and the American College for Girls Subseries XV.1: Vital Documents. These records document decisions pertaining to the legal status of both RC and ACG, their authority to grant degrees, and their acquisition of property for educational purposes.

Rare Book and Manuscript Library. ACQUISITION AND APPRAISAL Acquisition Purchase, 2006 Provenance The early institutional records of Robert College were originally collected by Reverend David B. Coe, the first Secretary of the Board of Trustees. Following his death they became the property of the trustees and were turned over to the Near East College Association when that organization was formally established in New York City in 1927. From time to time over the years these records were augmented by the transfer of materials from the Istanbul campuses of the and by donations of personal papers from descendants of the founders and others, though not all of these accessions can be precisely documented.

A major portion of the early correspondence between Cyrus Hamlin and George Washburn, one hand, and Christopher Robert on the other, was for many years in the possession of Robert's son, Arthur Remington Robert, who lived in London. Despite the heavy bombardment of that portion of the city during World War II the records survived and were later brought to New York.

Additional records of Robert College were in the possession of Keith M. Greenwood, a faculty member and the author of an unpublished doctoral dissertation, "Robert College: The American Founders," (Johns Hopkins University, 1965). Sometime after Greenwood's death in 1971, these records were transferred to the New York Office of Robert College.

Moore Gates, the son of Caleb Frank Gates, donated the correspondence of his father's college. Since many of these letters come from Gates's former colleagues and students, they are important to the College's history. Elizabeth Dodge Huntington Clarke, wife of the former vice president, presented several scrapbooks containing photographs to the College. They are now part of the

archives' photograph II collection. The forerunner of the American College for Girls was The Home School founded in 1871. The whereabouts of The Home School records is not known.

A substantial portion of the ACG records in the Archives were collected by individual trustees in the course of their relationship with the College and were later deposited with the New York Office. The papers of Caroline Borden, one of the most active of the trustees, constitute a significant segment of the trustees' records. As is the case with the Robert College records, most of I the accessions to the Archives cannot be precisely documented.

Mary Mills Patrick, president of ACG from 1890 to 1924, was the major figure in the College's formative years. Her annual reports, and those of her successors represent, in a sense, a chronicle of the College. Patrick's own files are incomplete but her letters may I be found in many of the other series in the collection. This reflects the original order of the collection which insofar as possible has been retained.

In 1984 and 1985, as the archive collection was being organized, I significant numbers of additional files were personally transported from Istanbul by individual trustees and by Dr. Jayne L. Warner.

During the more than one hundred and twenty year history of both colleges some records have been lost or inadvertently destroyed. However, when one considers the turbulent history of the Ottoman I Empire and the emergence of modern Turkey during the past century, it is remarkable that so rich a record has survived. Accrual of Records No additions are expected. PROCESSING AND OTHER INFORMATION Processing Information This collection was processed by Professor Michael A.
