| Abstract | The Hampshire Gazette April 7, 1824 issue which includes an article titled "Amherst Institution." The article includes the December 24, 1823 statement made by the Committee consisting of Alvan Hyde, Samuel Shepard, Ezra Starkweather, Daniel Noble, and Thaddeus Pomeroy acting on behalf of the Trustees of Williams College. The Committee asks that the General Court of Massachusetts not grant the Trustees of Amherst Academy a charter for the establishment of a college in Amherst, Massachusetts. They outline their reasons for this request, including the potential damage to Williams College that another similar incorporated institution in the western part of Massachusetts could cause. |
