Brooks discusses the arrival of society members and the proceedings of the meeting. In doing so, he offers critiques of orations and mentions several Society members who spoke at the meeting: Allen (Samuel H. Allen), Tenney (Francis V. Tenney), Tyler (Edward G. Tyler), Ely (Richard Ely), and Parker (Samuel J. Parker). Brooks also writes about Charles M. Atkinson and Jonathan Linnell killing a bug, describing the insect as a "Mr. Bug" of the "big bug class of gentry" who interrupted the meeting and broke several rules. Sidney Brooks essay on an Athenian Society meeting Collegiate Institution faculty resolution regarding Ephraim Eveleth and Eveleth's signed retraction, 1824 June 28 Humphrey, Heman, 1779-1861 A document certifying that Ephraim Evelith is hereby restored to his previous standing in the Junior Class of the Amherst Collegiate Institution on the condition that he make a retraction. The document states that Evelith had been required to leave the Institution due to his disrespectful treatment of faculty. The retraction, signed by Evelith, is also provided. The retraction states that Evelith regrets that he said anything to imply that the faculty had made the junior appointments with injustice or partiality, and he regrets to have spoken in a derogatory way regarding any faculty. On the back of the document are notes stating "voted unanimously by the Faculty June 29, 1824" and "Evelith restoration to his standing in College." The document appears to be written in Heman Humphrey's hand.
