Abstract
A pamphlet of a statement regarding the petition by the Trustees of Amherst Academy requesting the incorporation of the Amherst Collegiate Charity Institution. The statement discusses the prior controversy over the proposal to remove Williams College from Williamstown, Massachusetts and the circumstances of the Amherst Collegiate Institution's founding and progress. The document argues against incorporation of the college, particularly because of its potential negative effect on Williams College.
