**5. SUMMARY OF SYNTHESIS**

- The same core administrators (e.g., @david_i_johnson, @edwin_russell/@dr_russell, @dr_cleveland) recur across the decade, illustrating continuity of leadership.
- Committee creation follows a pattern: new functional committees (commencement, advertising, publication) are established in response to specific events (1859 commencement, 1860 advertising needs, 1859 anniversary).
- Academic‑appointment motions (recommendations for chairs, dean elections) appear consistently in each meeting, showing a stable governance process.
- Thesis evaluation and voting procedures are preserved from 1857 through 1859, using the same “white/black” vote tally system.
- Meetings are geographically dispersed (Philadelphia, Ohio, Pennsylvania), reflecting the college’s expanding operational footprint during the 1850‑1860 period.
