189 addition, there were to be a number of other servants {sluzhiteli) who were to carry out the routine administrative tasks without taking any part in the decision-making process. These were to include two secretaries, two accountants {kameriry), and a number of lesser officials.Other than this, no specific rules were given for the composition of the staff, and reference was merely made to the personnel budget that had been drawn up for the college. Compared with its Swedish counterpart, the shtats-kontor-koUegiia had a considerable staff; the budgets for 1718 and 1719 called for fifty-six employees for the college and the bursary, with a total payroll of 9,719 rubles.--- But when the college began to take shape during 1720, its staff needs proved to be even greater. In its response to the Senate’s investlgation of the staff situation in the various colleges, the shtats-kontor-kollegiia reported that fifty-five employees, including fourteen soldiers, had been taken into its service. In addition to these, the college requested that it be allowed to hire another thirty in order to fulfill its administrative needs, as well as to have forty-one soldiers to serve as guards.--^ This would have meant a staff of over seventy, excluding the guards, if the requests put forth by the college had been fulfilled. The comparable number of employees in the statskontoret and the räntekammaren for that same year was nineteen, or just about one third the number serving the shtats-kontorkollegiiar'-^ In spite of the differences in numbers between the Russian and Swedish colleges, one finds that the same categories of personnel were represented in each case. The Russians adopted most of the staff designations used in the statskontoret, right from the president and the two budget commissioners on down. The positions in the Swedish college had their counterparts in the shtats-kontor-kollegiia with nearly the same titles: a secretary {sekreterare, sekretar'), chief accountant {kamrer, kamerir), actuary {aktuarte, aktuar), notary {notarie, notar), bookkeeper {bokhållare, bukbgalter), clerk or scrivener {kammarskrivare, kamornyi shreiber), assistant secretary {kanslist, kantslist), and copyist {kopist, kopist). The assistant to the chief accountant, called the kamrnarförvant in Swedish, was given the title nnderkamerir in the Russian college. As was the case with the other Russian colleges, a number of the positions in the shtats-kontor-kollegiia were to be staffed by foreigners.
