Joseph Vaill draft of a plan for the organization of the faculty
Vaill, Joseph, 1790-1869
Joseph Vaill, Trustee and General Agent of Amherst College, statement in which Vaill proposes a plan for a new organization of the faculty including the potential new College President. Presumably Vaill proposed this plan to the Board of Trustees. Vaill describes his plan for the organization, mentioning Professor Hitchcock (Edward Hitchcock), various College departments, the College church, and Professor Charles U. Shepard, and Reverend Lyman Coleman. In elaborating on his plan, Vaill gives specific attention to its effects on the College expenses. A note at the end of the document states "Plan for the organization of the Faculty." Joseph Vaill's name is not included on this item, but it is attributed to him based on the finding aid. There is another version of this document with slight alterations also in Box 6 Folder 11 of this collection.
