| Abstract | The Greenfield Gazette September 21, 1824 issue which includes an article titled "Amherst College-No. 5," the fifth in a series of articles attributed to "Massachusetensis" who argues against granting charter to the Amherst Institution. In this article, the subscription fund noted as the "Amherst fund"(the Charity Fund) is discussed. It is argued that many subscribers to the fund believed that the money was going to be joined with the revenues of Williams College and that the fund is not in a state to be the foundation for establishing an institution for liberal education. A fifteen thousand dollar bond (the Guaranty Bond) is also discussed. |
| Notes | Amherst College was conceived out of the previously existing Amherst Academy and was founded in 1821 as the Collegiate Institution. From 1821-1825 the College was known primarily as the Collegiate Institution or the Amherst Institution. In 1825 the institution was granted charter by the Massachusetts State Legislature and was thereafter known as Amherst College. |
