This segment directly follows the [Meeting on Oct 28, 1850](arke:01KG32DRKRGYCGNVZ416S1W371) in the sequence of recorded meetings and precedes the [Meeting on Oct 11th, 1850](arke:01KG32DSG21H570HCTX3261C5X), indicating a non-chronological ordering likely due to transcription or assembly.

The minutes record several resolutions passed by the faculty. First, the faculty resolved not to assume responsibility for debts incurred by individual members unless formally authorized by a collective vote. Second, each faculty member agreed to contribute $5 to a common fund for advertising the college in city newspapers; a committee consisting of Drs. Dickerson and Gleason was appointed to oversee this. Third, the faculty voted to settle and close the account with Mr. Pease. The entry also references the use of lecture rooms and includes a resolution by Dr. Gleason recommending that the managers of the Lying-in Asylum admit individuals deemed most deserving of its services. The meeting concluded with an adjournment.
