## Contents
The meeting minutes document three formal resolutions passed by the faculty. First, Dr. Langshore proposed that the Sanitor (custodian or caretaker) is not responsible for handling private business of faculty members, a resolution that was carried. Second, another resolution by Dr. Langshore limited the Sanitor’s duties on Sundays to the care of the College Building. Third, Dr. Gleason introduced a resolution stating that faculty members are not authorized to conduct manual or physical examinations of applicants to the Lying-in Asylum connected with the college or infirmary. A final note indicates that a copy of this resolution was to be sent to the Board of Managers of the Asylum. The entry concludes with a resolution rescinding a prior decision about room rent at 229 Arch Street, setting it at $150 annually instead of $175.
