Scrapbooks documenting the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons (P&S). The three 19th century volumes (1828-1886) largely contain matriculation and admission tickets, commencement programs, and other ephemera. Correspondence is sometimes included and there is a newspaper clipping about William Henry Vanderbilt's donation of $500,000 to the College in 1884. The three volumes and one disbound volume from the 20th century are entirely newspaper clippings, chiefly from New York City newspapers. They document P&S and the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center as well as medicine in general, including obituaries of prominent physicians.
