Excerpt from Catalogue of Amherst College for the Year 1887-1888 The general government of the College 18 vested In its Board of Trustees. Its immediate direction 18 vested in the Faculty, who are empowered by the Trustees to determine the topics and order and methods of study, and to make such rules, not conflicting with the judgment of the Trustees, as may be deemed necessary for the best regulation of the College. The Faculty have judged it wise to associate with them, in the immediate government of the College, a body chosen by the students themselves, to which questions of College order and decorum are referred, and whose deci sions, if approved by the President, are binding in the College. This body is called the College Senate, and consists of four Seniors, three Juniors, tv'vo Sophomores, and one F reshman, chosen by their respective classes. At the meetings of the Senate, which are held regularly once a month, the President of the College presides. This movement toward self-government has been thus far justified by its results.
