**Summary of Notable Patterns**
- The faculty repeatedly **appointed three‑member committees** to handle investigations, by‑law drafting, museum arrangement, anatomy demonstration, and the Lying‑in Department.
- **Resignations** (Dr. R. Burr, Dr. M. Glasskey, Dr. James F. X. M. Clasky) were formally accepted and forwarded to the Board of Trustees.
- Financial matters (rent of 229 Arch St, ticket sales, faculty‑fund contributions, limits on expenditures) were a constant agenda item.
- The **Dean** acted as the executive conduit for communications with the Board of Trustees and for authorising expenditures.
