```# Reorganization Summary The files were grouped based on the dates and content of the faculty meetings recorded in the minutes. Each group represents a distinct time period (April, May, and October 1864) and includes files that contain minutes from meetings held during that period. Files without OCR content were assigned to groups based on their filenames, which indicate they are related to the same meetings as their corresponding JSON files. ## Groups Created - **April_1864_Faculty_Meetings**: Files containing minutes from faculty meetings held in April 1864, discussing topics such as amendments to regulations, committee appointments, and faculty selections. - **May_1864_Faculty_Meetings**: Files containing minutes from faculty meetings held in May 1864, discussing topics such as bylaws, lecture announcements, and student admissions. - **October_1864_Faculty_Meetings**: Files containing minutes from faculty meetings held in October 1864, discussing topics such as lecture schedules and applications from other institutions.
