Abstract | A pamphlet with remarks from an unknown author on the controversy of whether or not Williams College should be moved from Williamstown, Massachusetts to Northampton, Massachusetts. The author writes regarding an address made by the Trustees of Williams College proposing that the college be removed from Williamstown and an address by a committee of Berkshire men countering the trustees and stating that Williams College should stay in Williamstown. The pamphlet outlines the points made by the committee and examines those points against statements made by the trustees and statistics regarding Williams College and other similar institutions in the area. The pamphlet advocates for the removal of Williams College from Williamstown based on evidence presented within. |
Notes | This item is undated. The date is inferred from content of the letter which notes an address by the Trustees of Williams College that was published in June 1819, as "of June last." |
