The document is noted as "a true copy" and signed by F.D.P. Stone, actuary. Below this attestation is the faculty committee's report to the College Choir in which the committee writes that the constitution is approved by the faculty, another copy is requested, and fifty dollars will be annually granted to the Choir as long as the constitution is strictly followed and a report is submitted to and approved by the College president. The names of E. Burgess and E. Bradbury are below this report and they are noted as the "Committee on the part of the Faculty." It has been determined that E. Burgess stands for Ebenezer Burgess and E. Bradbury stands for Elbridge Bradbury. The identity of F.D.P. Stone could not be determined.
