Abstract
A document in which Heman Humphrey writes on behalf of the faculty of the Collegiate Institution regarding the examination of the senior class in all the studies of their four year course. Humphrey notes the time and date of the examination and names the men who were examined. He comments on the performance of the students. Humphrey goes on to say that the faculty records it as their unanimous opinion that all of the named students have now finished the course of classical studies usually found in colleges and are thereby entitled to the usual college honors. An additional note below Humphrey's signature states "Senior Examination 1824."
