The Reports to the President serves as a summary of the year’s activities and an introduction to the next year’s goals. Each collection is a compilation of annual reports from the president, and the academic and administrative entities of the Institute. Included in some years are reports from the secretary, treasurer, and chancellor of the Institute.

The MIT Libraries has the complete collection of MIT’s Reports to the President, dating from 1871. Reports from 1995 to 2021 are available on the Reports to the President website.

Reports often include the following sections for both the Institute and its academic and administrative units: Current goals, objectives, priorities; Statistics; Accomplishments; Administrative initiatives; Finances and funding; Future plans; Personnel information; Teaching and curriculum; Research activities.
