Title	Collegiate Institution faculty resolution regarding the freshmen class examinations, 1824 August 23
Dates	1824-08-23
Abstract	A document stating that at a meeting of the faculty of the Collegiate Institution it was voted that the annual examination of the freshmen class was highly satisfactory, though the appearance of a few individuals was not as good as that of the class in general. However, it states, the faculty do not think any exceptions are necessary and thus consider the whole class advanced to the standing of sophomores. The document is signed by Heman Humphrey on behalf of the faculty. A note on the back of the document states "Results of examination August 23, 1824."
Notes	Amherst College was conceived out of the previously existing Amherst Academy and was founded in 1821 as the Collegiate Institution. From 1821-1825 the College was known primarily as the Collegiate Institution or the Amherst Institution. In 1825 the institution was granted charter by the Massachusetts State Legislature and was thereafter known as Amherst College.
