| Title | Joseph Vaill report to the Trustees of Amherst College, 1847 July 5 |
| Dates | 1847-07-05 |
| Abstract | Joseph Vaill, Trustee and former General Agent of Amherst College, statement read to the Trustees of the College in which Vaill writes that it has now been twenty-seven years since he was elected to the Board of Trustees of Amherst Academy to whom was entrusted the Collegiate Institution (Amherst College). He discusses his history as a Board member and the history of attempts to obtain pecuniary aid, such as subscription funds. Vaill goes on to describe the August 1841 Trustee meeting and writes regarding his decision to accept the appointment of General Agent, his work in that role, and details regarding particular income and expenses. The text of this document is similar to the report Vaill gave in August 1848 also in Box 6 Folder 12 of this collection, and this document may have been an earlier draft of that report. Included with this document is a statement dated July 5, 1847 concerning the one hundred thousand dollar subscription fund with details on the amounts of that fund and agency expenses. The donation made by David Sears is among the amounts included. |
