| Abstract | A pamphlet describing the results of a meeting of men from Berkshire County that took place on October 6, 1819 regarding the proposition to move Williams College from Williamstown to Northampton, Massachusetts. The pamphlet begins with a description of the meeting and includes the resolutions that were adopted at the meeting. One such resolution is the appointment of Daniel Noble, Colonel Henry W. Dwight, and William C. Jarvis to a committee to prepare and publish an address expressive of the sentiments of the meeting. The pamphlet also contains this address to the public in which Noble, Dwight, and Jarvis advocate for Williams College to remain in Williamstown and address the arguments in the recent petition made to the legislature by the Trustees of Williams College which proposed that it be removed. |
