Abstract
A document stating that on May 10, 1824 it was voted that the late examination of the sophomore class of the Amherst Collegiate Institution was satisfactory. The document also states that "the faculty cheerfully express their approbation of the examination in general" and that the appearance of this class was better in some studies than in others. It states that in particular the faculty thought the examination of the class in geometry was unusually good and the appearance of the class in Jamieson's Rhetoric was not as good as desired. The document is signed by Heman Humphrey on behalf of the faculty. A note on the back of the document states "Result of the May examination 1824."
