Abstract
Document in which Sidney Brooks writes regarding a meeting of the Athenian Society at Amherst College. Brooks discusses the arrival of society members and the proceedings of the meeting. In doing so, he offers critiques of orations and mentions several Society members who spoke at the meeting: Allen (Samuel H. Allen), Tenney (Francis V. Tenney), Tyler (Edward G. Tyler), Ely (Richard Ely), and Parker (Samuel J. Parker). Brooks also writes about Charles M. Atkinson and Jonathan Linnell killing a bug, describing the insect as a "Mr. Bug" of the "big bug class of gentry" who interrupted the meeting and broke several rules.
