The most interesting part of the 1811 Trustees' Minutes is testimony leading to the firing of Professor Josiah Meigs, formerly president of the University. A transcription of an article from the September 28, 1811 Republican and Savannah Ledger presents Meigs' response to the accusations: http://www.libs.uga.edu/hargrett/archives/meigs/response.html.

Other transcriptions will be added as they become available.
