Abstract
A copy, attested to by Luke Sweetser acting as secretary, of the votes passed at a meeting of the Prudential Committee at the President's Library on August 3, 1839. The document provides the five votes that were passed, all of which relate to providing recommendations to the Trustees of the College on various topics. The Alexandrian Society permission to rent rooms, the laws of the College relating to student bonds, the debts of the College, the choice of a Financier and a Treasurer, and the salary of Professor Tyler are among the subjects addressed. The vote regarding Professor Tyler, presumably William Seymour Tyler, is discussed in the most detail. A note on the document states "to the Trustees of Amherst College Aug. 13 1839."
