Abstract
A document in which, as directed by the faculty, Edward Hitchcock provides a statement regarding requests from a number of appointees for an "approaching exhibition" that they be excused from performing their parts. Hitchcock refers to the appointees making the request as petitioners and writes that some of them made the request because they objected to having to furnish refreshments for anyone other than the performers of the band. He goes on to say that other petitioners have asked to be excused because they cannot, with their previous engagements and their understanding of College laws, encourage such entertainments, especially should ardent spirit or wine be introduced. Hitchcock states that the faculty consulted the College laws, specifically Chapter 8, Sections 11 and 12, and cannot see the reasonableness of the petitioner's request. He goes on to say that executing the articles noted will remove the objections of the petitioners.
