Each group represents a distinct time period (1850, 1855, 1863, 1864) and includes both the JSON and TIF files that correspond to the meeting minutes from those years. This approach ensures that related documents are organized together logically, making it easier to locate and reference them. ## Groups Created - **Faculty_Meetings_1850**: Files containing minutes from faculty meetings in October 1850, including discussions on certificates, permits, and Dean elections. - **Faculty_Meetings_1855**: Files containing minutes from faculty meetings in February 1855, including reports on theses and admissions. - **Faculty_Meetings_1863**: Files containing minutes from faculty meetings in August and October 1863, including discussions on lectures, finances, and committee reports. - **Faculty_Meetings_1864**: Files containing minutes from faculty meetings in January, February, March 1864, including discussions on expenditures, theses, and commencement arrangements.
