The collection consists of two University of Georgia report cards, dated August and November 1849, of D. T. Singleton. Listed on the report cards are grades for studies, fines for various offenses, absences from prayers, church, recitation, and rooms, and of the number of students in his class, how many have been more regular in their attendance. A handwritten summary at the bottom of page 3 (November 1849) states that Singleton is "inattentive to college duties & negligent in his studies."
