Mr. Beirne (P31717) admitted his having been caught several times in bed, but said that he was sick on at least one or two of the occasions; Mr. Loundes (P44840) said there was some mistake as to him as he was absent by leave a week and was up twice when the Janitor called and therefore must have been reported oftener than he deserved.

On motion it was resolved that Messers Beirne (P31717) and Loundes (P44840) be excused and that Messers Cornick (P21769) and Ryland (P39474) be reprimanded by the Chairman. Messers Burwell (), C. B.

The Chairman stated that Mr. G. B. Payne (P33441) was reported as having violated the in regard to [EVENT: Student Misconduct:Failure to Appear When Summoned  ]  early rising 9 times; he had also been guilty of the [EVENT: Student Misconduct:Guns  ] offence of introducing a pistol within the precincts; that he had sent for Mr. Payne () to inquire into his latter offence and that he had confessed it, and said in extenuation of it that having had reason to expect an attack from some mechanics of Charlottesville (), and having occasion to go there, he had borrowed a pistol from a student, which he returned as soon as he came back to the University, and that he neither owned nor kept arms.

Dr. Magill (P43655) offered the following resolution.

"It appearing that Mr. G. B. Payne (P33441) has violated the law in regard to early rising nine times during the last month, and also that he had on one occasion when he went to town, armed himself with a borrowed pistol, in violation of the enactments, though to protect himself from an expected assault therefore, Resolved that he be [EVENT: Student Status:Suspension  ]  suspended for two weeks and required to reside

[291]

Mr. Early (P37882) said there was an error as to the number of times he had violated the early rising law; that it was not more than four times, and that he had not been reprimanded before for the same offence. Mr. Early (P37882) offered in excuse for his being out of uniform the shabby state of his uni- form coat, which was very much worn and out of order.

On motion Mr. Conway (P43888) was sent for.

Mr. Conway (P43888) said that as to the particular cases referred to he could not answer, but said that where the rooms in his district were not put in order in due time it was almost always the fault of the student.

As to the case of Mr. Hamm (P25092) brought before the Faculty at a former meeting for having taken board out of the University without the permission of the Faculty, Mr. Conway (P43888) said that he never did give his consent to Mr. Hamm's (P25092) going out of College and thought himself entitled to the quarter's board and would claim it.

Mr. Davis (P33195) offered the following resolution which was seconded and passed.

[292]

"Mr. Hamm (P25092) having left his Hotel and taken board out of the precincts, without the leave of the Faculty, under circumstances which, however they may palliate the offence, do not affect the rights of the Hotel- Keepers, Resolved that he be required to deposite with the Proctor immediately the amount of the present quarters board due the Hotel-keeper".

The Chairman stated that before he went to Fredericksburg (PL4252) Mr. W. Harris (P31429) had applied for permission to board out of the University alleging as the ground of his application, that he was placed at a table at the Hotel where he boarded in company with students with whom he could not associate. The Chairman told him that he had no power to grant his request and advised him to remain where he was until the Faculty could decide upon his application, but that notwithstanding this, he had left College and gono home to Nelson. (PL5388)

On motion it was resolved that the case of Mr. Harris (P31429) he postponed until further intelligence could be had from him.

[EVENT: Student Status:Withdrawal from University  ] Mr. P. Carr (P34852) having the consent of his Father applied for permission to leave the school of Mathematics. It being stated by the Professor of that School, that Mr. Carr (P34852) had been very inattentive to his department and that he honestly did not think he should be allowed to avoid

[294]

the consequences of that inattention by withdrawing from the school, a motion was made seconded and passed his application be not granted.

[EVENT: Student Status:Admission  ] Mr. Tureaud (P38912) a student of the University and a Frenchman applied to the Faculty to allow him to give other evidence of his proficiency in English than that afforded by standing the usual English Examination and referred to Professor Tucker (P43619) to whose Class he belonged and to whom he had frequently furnished essays etc. to testify in his behalf. Mr. Tucker's (P43619) statement was satisfactory to the Faculty and his application was therefore granted.

Mr. Nangle (P29844) applied for a fourth examination in English which was refused.

The Chairman laid before the Faculty a report from the Janitor in regard to the early rising of students since the last monthly report.

[EVENT: Student Status:Admission  ] The Chairman laid before the Faculty a letter received by Dr. Harrison () from Mr. Fonchi () of Georgia (), a former student, inquiring whether or not a ward of a friend of his would be received as a student of the University who had been dismissed from Franklin College () of that State.

The following are the circumstances attending his dismissal as furnished by the Officers of Franklin College () to his Guardian.

The first letter received, says Mr. Fouche (), states the cause of dismission in these words, "He was found out of his room during study hours, engaged in making a noise and when requested by the officer to return to his room he failed to comply. When met a half an hour afterwards in the name place he was reminded of the request that had been made of him when he replied he would go to his room when he pleased". He is also charged says Mr. Fouche () with insulting language to the officer, but the language used is not specified.

"That when before the Faculty he admitted the words used

[295]

by the officer to be unexceptionable but objected to the manner in which they were uttered, and said that he would on no occasion they when ordered to go to is room; that when before the Faculty he used nothing disrespectful or offensive, except the declaration that he had reflected upon the subject and would act again in the same manner under similar circumstances".

In answer to another letter addressed by the Guardian of the young man to the officers of the College, "inquiring particularly into his moral character and standing, the following reply was given." If you mean to refer to the gross outbreakings against the rules of virtue in which men sometimes engage, as in drunkenness, gambling or swearing, we would inform you that your ward has never to our knowledge engaged in such disorders. If you refer to irregular conduct in College, such as breaking windows, rolling stones through the passages, noisy, turbulent demeanor, we reply that we have no proof of your ward's guilt in any such charges".

Mr. Fouche () acclaims "I am well acquainted with the young gentleman in whose behalf I write, and I have never known him to be guilty of an immoral, mischeivous or irregular act".

Mr. Bonnycastle (P43623) offered the following resolution:

"Moved that Mr. Fouche () be informed that as the conduct he has ascribed to the Gentleman who desires to enter the University would have subjected him to dismissal from that Institution, and as it is impossible to say whether a person so offending would have been re-admitted here next session, the Faculty must decline receiving the applicant, unless he brings more satisfactory testimony in regard to character than has yet appeared. That it will be necessary for the applicant to admit the impropriety of his conduct on the occasion alluded to, or show strong circumstances in mitigations and also to bring from the officers of Franklin College () testimonials proving either that he would have been readmitted there, or that his very improper refusal to obey the directions given was not couched in offensive or highly indecorous language".

[296]

Mr. Davis (P33195) offered the following preamble and resolution as a substitute for the above.

"Whereas the offence for which the applicant for admission was dismissed from Franklin College () was not one so indicative of vicious disposition or so affecting his character, that it ought of itself to excluded him from other institutions; and whereas a student here dismissed for a similar offence, would if his character and conduct were in other respects good, be allowed readmission at a future session - the inconvenience and disgrace of dimission being a sufficient punishment for such an offence; and whereas the comity due from one institution to another does not require that any shall refuse admission to a student only dismissed from another; and whereas the laws of this Institution prescribing the terms of admission only require of these who have been students at other institutions, that they shall produce a certificate from such seminary, or other satisfactory evidence to the Faculty with respect to their general good conduct; under which, although a few unworthy persons have obtained admission here, such result has been occasioned either by our want of information in regard to the offences for which they had been elsewhere dismissed (which does not exist in this case) or by our having been misled by erroneous information as to their general character and should only admonish us of the certain necessary caution on these points in future."

"Therefore resolved, that the applicant be informed of the terms of admission prescribed by our law, and he further informed that as he has been dismissed from another institution for conduct which the Faculty (if they rightly understand the facts of the case) strongly disapprove, clear and satisfactory evidence of general good conduct and character will be required by them in order to admite him here".

The vote being first taken on the substitute it was adopted by the Faculty. The following are the ayes and nayes:

[297]

For the substitute:

Against it:

Mr. Bonnycastle (P43623) asked and received permission to enter the following protest against the proceedings of the Faculty.

"Believing that much injury to the Institution, and injustice to the parents of the youth committed to our charge to have resulted from a lax interpretation of the law in C.1. S. 2 Ch.2, the undersigned dissents from the opinion expressed by a Majority of his colleagues inregard to the application of Mr. Foucho (), and protests against their decision being regarded as a procedent in future. Desirous of attracting attention towards a suvnect of which he has always maintained the importance, the undersigned request leave to enter the following reasons for his diddent. To wit: that it is but justice to the incorporated institutions of the country that the Faculty should not treat lightly decisions made under laws so analogous to their own that experience has emply confirmed the danger of allowing a youth who has shown his contempt for the laws of such institution, to pass immediately and triumphantly from the College whence he has offended to the University of Virginia (CB0001). That the opinions of friends usually much inflrenced by good will and affection have been found but a feeble indication of real character, and ought not except on extreme occasions, to he set against the public decision of a judical body. That in the facts alleged in the present case there appear no circumstances on which to ground the decision that contempt of academical discipline ought not to be followed by a temporary suspension of the advantages which it insures-

[298]

that a serious resistence to discipline is avowed and apparently provod- That no reasons appear to sustain the notion of harsh or improper conduct on the part of the authorities of Franklin College () - that no inquiry is made of that college- and lastly that no difficulties, expense or inconvenience has been incurred by the applicant which might justify departure from due caution on the part of these who are intrusted with the case of the youth of this University"

Charles Bonnycastle (P43623)

Dr. Harrison (P25515) applied for leave to hold the final examination for one of his Classes on Saturday, the 25th, which was granted.

The [EVENT: Student Misconduct:Physical Assault  ]  Chairman brought before the Faculty the case of Mr. T. A. Wilson (P29581) reported by Mr. Conway (P43888) for having struck one of has servants (P44664) whilst waiting on the breakfast table. Mr. Wilson (P29581) according to Mr. Conway (P43888) had been frequently guilty of disorderly conduct at table such as wearing his hat, though requested by him not to do so.

On motion Mr. Wilson (P29581) was sent for;

Mr. Wilson (P29581) said that he ordered the servant (P44664) to bring him a glass of water, but instead of doing so, he had waited upon some other student, who had given him an order subsequent to his, that the same servant (P44664) had frequently disobeyed him and that being a good deal provoked he had struck him.

[299]

As to wearing his hat at table, Mr. Wilson (P29581) said that many others did it, as no place was provided for the hats of the boarders, and that Mr. Conway (P43888) had never spoken to him by once.

Mr. Conway (P43888) having referred to Mr. Thomley () who witnessed the transaction, on motion, he was sent for.

Mr. Thomley () said that Mr. Wilson (P29581) and the other boarders near him had been supplied with coffee and that he told the servant (P44664) after Mr. Wilson (P29581) had called for a glass of water to bring him some coffee, which the servant (P44664) did, and that Mr. Wilson (P29581) struck him as he passed by him with the coffee on the waiter.

A motion was made, seconded and passed that Mr. Wilson (P29581) he [EVENT: Student Status:Suspension  ]  suspended for the rest of the Session.

[300]

The Chairman laid before the Faculty a report from the Proctor of the glass which he had had pur in the windows of the dermitories and stated that the usual price charged for putting in a pane of glass had been twenty five cents.

On motion that sum was assessed each student, in the list of the Proctor for each pane of glass with which he is therein charged.

The Chairman stated to the Faculty that he wished to consult them in regard to the best rule to be adopted on the subject of per- mitting students to engage rooms for a succeeding session. He stated that heretofore Mr. Pondleton (P43653) had established as a rule that they could not do so, without [EVENT: Fee:Room Rent  ] depositing with him the amount it would be necessary for them to do on matriculation; which rule he (the Chairman) considered objectionable, and stated as objections to it that it gave these students who could make so great an advance an improper advantage over those who could not, and that the Patron had no right to receive funds on deposits before matriculation. He read to the Faculty a letter from Mr. Pendleton (P43653) explaining his reasons for having adopted such a rule. The Chairman stated that he had proposed in place of the rule the following.

"That a student wishing to engage for the next session a dormitory, which the occupant shall not desire to retain, may do so on paying the rent thereof; but with the understanding that if he be not here on or before the first day of the session, or shall not by that time have deposited with the Patron the sum necessary for matriculation any other student may take possession of the room.

"The occupant of a dormitory shall be allowed until the end of the session or his withdrawal from the University to engage his room for the next session".

On motion it was resolved that the Faculty approve the fore- going rules proposed by the Chairman.

Mr. Tucker (P43619) offered the following preamble and resolutions which were unanimously adopted.

"The Faculty of the University of Virginia (CB0001), having this day learnt the death of James Madison (), former President of the United States, and late Rooter of this Institution, would not do justice to their feelings if they did not record their profound sense of his exulted worth- of these talents and Public services which made him the pride and ornament of his country, and of these mild virtues which proved an unfailing source of happiness to all around him.

On the sevices of this illustrious man it is unnecessary to dwell, for what American does not know the parts which James Madison () acted in the public councils of his country? and what Virginian needs to be reminded of the unrivalled force of his tongue and his pen in de- fending her most cherished principles? These monuments of his political must endure as long as the love of county or of freedom shall find a place in their hearts. But at this moment when his mortal career has terminated, our minds are irresistably drawn from the glory of the orator and Statesman to the merits of the man - to that perrenial cheerfulness which ago could not dim, and not even could disease overcloud, to that delicacy and suavity and kindness which would still have made his one of the most able of men, though his matchless powers of conversation had not

[302]

made him also one of the most brilliant. Our memories must always fondly dwell on the pure delight we have experienced in his society, and we can now only single our heartfelt regrete with these of his afflicted relatives. In conformity with these feelings, Resolved that we will in testimony of our respect for his memory wear crape on the left arm for two months.

"Resolved that as a feeble expression of our sincere and respectful condolence a copy of this preamble and resolution be sent to Mrs. Madison. ()

Mr. Tucker (P43619) asked for permission to hold an examination for certificates of Proficiency in Political economy June 30th which was granted.

Mr. Bonnycastle (P43623) asked for leave to hold his seniot Math- ematical examination on Friday July the 1st.

He then for the sixth time ordered the servant to take his plate; the servant was not then engaged, but with insolent look, was still disobedient; being extremely angered at the servant's disobedience, as well as his manner, and to keep his word, he threw the glass at him. Previously the servant had been insolent; called once to see Col. Ward (P43873) about it; the Col. was absent; did not speak to him afterwards; believes the Col was in the room when some of his orders were given to the Servant; was advised by students sitting near him to flog the servant.

The Faculty, after considering the case of Mr. Carter (P40032), on motion made and seconded, adopted the following Resolution offered by Mr. Tucker. (P43619)

It appearing to the satisfaction of the Faculty that Mr. Carter (P40032), after having repeatedly ordered a servant of Col. Ward's (P43873) to change his plate at dinner, which he failed to do, and finding him still disobedient, throw a glass tumbler at said servant.

Watkins (P27752), and J. M. Jackson (P34463) - calling the attention of the Faculty to violations of the Bill of fare on the part of Col. Ward (P43873) in the

[324]

following particulars. A frequent want, if not a general want of biscuits at breakfast, also a want of wheat bread at dinner, a refusal to give butter for some of the vegetables at dinner when demanded, a general deficiency of the most palatable dishes, bacon complained of by many of the students, molasses has not been furnished since the first of the month.

The following students, members of the committee, at the request of the Faculty, appeared, namely, J.C. Field (P25301), C.C. Wathins (P27752), Thomas H. Morris (P32712), and J.C. Dunoan (P25046), and said that at breakfast they were supplied with rolls and leaf wheat bread and corn bread, but no biscuits; there were biscuits this morn- ing for the first time - those not good. At dinner the leaf bread is not put on the table; have to call for it, and it is difficult to get it, no butter or sweet potatoes, called for once, refused, sweet potatoes scarce, and butter in vegetables scarce, beef steak scarce. Bacon in some instances scarce, and usually spoiled, latterly good, molasses not furnished from the first of the month - called for in one instance and refused.

The following students selected by the Faculty from among Col. Ward's (P43873) boarders appeared before the Faculty, namely, John W. Harris (P43508), Wm. Horring (P30059) and A. S. C. Boys. (P30852)

Mr. Harris (P43508) said that once or twice molasses was called for and not furnished. Bacon lately very good, some time ago not so good, beef not as good this year as last, thinks the fare not quite so good this year as last, recently pretty good, biscuits are not furnished for breakfast, are furnished for supper, no deficiency.

Mr. Horring (P30059) thinks upon an average the fare is as good this year as last. Brand plentiful and generally good, sometimes not so, molasses sometimes called for and refused, thinks the meeting to appoint a committee was not very general, does not know how many.

Mr. Boys (P30852) does not often eat bacon, biscuits for supper, but not for breakfast, bread pretty good, molasses has been supplied within a few days.

Col. Ward (P43873) was next sent for, and the Chairman in the meantime

[325]

informed the Faculty that Col. Ward (P43873) had made application to prevent the assign- ment of Mr. Warron Griggsby (P43122) who matriculated yesterday, to his district.

Col. Ward (P43873) appeared and said that when biscuits were omitted at breakfast, two kinds of wheat bread, viz. rolls and loaf broad, as well as corn bread made with eggs were furnished, the latter the students were very fond of. At dinner wheat bread was placed on the side table for all these who chose to call for it, has been omitted in no instance, does not furnish butter for sweet potatoes, called for in but one instance, in that by Mr. Griggsby (P43122), refused, has a full sufficiency of every thing, beef pretty good, selects best in market. Bacon has been good, in a few instances it may have smelt a little strong, thinks no reasonable man can object to his fare. Molasses was demanded by Mr. Griggsby (P43122) on the third instant, refused, on the ground that Mr. Griggsby (P43122) had no right to demand it, having made no deposit for board and not having matriculated, had molasses then in the house and was preparing for its introduction on his table in compliance with the bill of fare, has furnished it since regularly; wishes that Mr. Griggsby (P43122) should not be assigned to his district because before matriculating Mr. G. (P43122) had chastised one of his servants; he believes without provocation, the reason given by Mr. G. (P43122) is that the servant was insolent. Mr. G's () demands as a boarder are imperative and disagreeable. He may institute an action at law against Mr. G. (P43122) for trespassing upon his rights, the feeling which has arisen, and which must continue to exist between Mr. G. (P43122) and himself, renders it unfit that Mr. G. (P43122) should be an inmate of his house. Col. Ward (P43873) before leaving the Fac- ulty gave his consent that Mr. Richard J. Cocke () should remove to Mr. Conway's (P43888) district.

Mr. Duncan (P25046) was called in a second time, and informed the Faculty that the meeting appointing the Committee to report Col. Ward (P43873) comprised a large majority of his boarders.

Mr. Grigsby (P43122) having been sent for, appeared and said that he was anxious not to quit Col. Ward's (P43873) district, because bad as his fare was, it was

[326]

it was better than at the other Hotels. He considered his dormitory as hav- ing been assigned to him and had done nothing since his matriculation to forfeit it, for any offence committed before matriculation he was ready to justify himself.

The Faculty having considered Col. Ward's (P43873) application in relation to Mr. Griggsby (P43122), motion made and seconded.

Resolved that the Proctor be directed not to assign Mr. Griggsby (P43122) to Col. Ward's (P43873) district.

The faculty then considered the Report made by Col. Ward's (P43873) boarders in relation to his violations to the bill of fare, and on motion, made and seconded, adopted the following resolution:

Resolved, that the Report made by a committee of Col. Ward's (P43873) boarders of his having violated the bill of fare in certain particulars, and the evidence there on do not justify any action of the Faculty, and that it be recommended to Col. Ward (P43873) in future to give strict attention to the bill of fare.

The Chairman informed the Faculty that Mr. Mordeial Cook (P41382) desired to appear before the Faculty in behalf of Samuel C. Stewart (P35370) who was on the 7th instant suspended for the remainder of the session.

A motion was made seconded and passed that Mr. Cooke (P41382) be admitted before the Faculty. Mr. Cooke (P41382) appeared and said that Mr. Stewart's (P35370) case differed from that of Mr. Davis (P41453) and Mr. Shannon (P22466) in this, that he refused to say anything before the Faculty, not wishing to persist in the false-hood told by all three to the Chairman, whilst they persisted in falsehood before the Faculty. At Northern Colleges and particularly the one a which Mr. Stewart () was a student, it was considered not ungentlemanly nor digracful to tell an untruth to avoid punishment. Mr. Stewart (P35370) [EVENT: Student Misconduct:Gambling  ] happened accidently at Mr. Davi' (P41453)

[338]

room; one of the party pulled out an old and incomplete pack of cards and Mr. Stewart (P35370) was prevailed upon to play and nothing was bet. Professor Rogers (P43658) had had a conversation with Mr. Stewart (P35370), from which he was convinced that the reason Mr. Stewart (P35370) preferred saying nothing before the Faculty, was that he did not wish to persist in an untruth.

Mr. Wortenbaker (), Secretary, informed the Faculty that Mr. Davis (P41453) told the yough men in NeW's bookstore that he (Mr. Davis (P41453)) had led Messers Shannon (P22466) and Stewart (P35370) to support him in as untruth he had told the Chairman.

Mr. Bonnycastle (P43623) offered the following resolution:

"The Faculty having taken into consideration the extenuating circumstances alledged by Mr. Cooke (P41382) to have existed in the case of Mr. Stewart (P35370), regret that whilst those circumstances have weight in regard to the views they take of Mr. Stewart's (P35370) conduct, they cannot perceive sufficient ground to justify their making any distinction between the sentence of Mr. Stewart (P35370) and his companions, and at the same time they think it probable that in some part of the transaction Mr. Stewart (P35370) was misled.

The question was put on Mr. Bonnycastle's (P43623) resolution and decided in the negative.

Mr. Tucker (P43619) then moved as follows:

[EVENT: Student Status:Suspension  ] The Faculty having taken into due consideration the extenuating circumstances alledged by Mr. Cooke (P41382) to have existed in the case of Mr. Stewart (P35370). Therefore, Resolved, that Mr. Stewart (P35370) suspension be shortened to four months.

Mr. Tucker's (P43619) resolution was therefore passed.

Mr. Bonnycastle (P43623) then offered the same resolution in behalf of Mr. Shannon (P22466), of which the motion to adopt was determined in the negative by

[339]

the following vote:

affirmative: Bonnycastle; (P43623) Negative: Davis (P33195), Tucker (P43619), Rogers (P43658), Harrison (P25515), Emmet (P43625), Warner. (P43656)

The Chairman read to the Faculty the terms which under the authority of the Faculty had offered to the students who propose to organize a military corps.

A motion was made, seconded, and passed that Thomas H. Morris (P32712), captain of the proposed military corps be sent for.

Mr. Morris (P32712) appeared and said that the company had neither agreed nor disagreed to the terms proposed by the Chairman. They did not consider them binding. No action had been taken on them; he further said that the conditions prescribed by the Faculty had been read to the Company, but not agreed to by them. On being asked the reason, he said that the company do not admit the right of the Faculty to prescribe terms of organization to the company, and that they do not intend acting until after the Faculty have acted.

Mr. Bonnycastle (P43623) then proposed the following resolution which was seconded and passed unanimously:

A portion of the students having formed themselves into a military corps without the permission of the Faculty and their Captain having stated before that body the opinion of the aid students that they exist as a military company without the authority of the aforesaid Faculty, whose power to prescribe terms of organization they deny, Therefore,

Resolved, that the Chairman be requested to inform the body of the students aforesaid, that the proposed Military Corps does not exist, and that in consequence those having muskets in their possession and not immediately removing them, will be considered as violation the laws regarding the bringing and keeping fire arms within the precincts.

The Faculty then adjourned

The Chairman laid before the Faculty the following preamble and resolutions passed at a large meeting of the students on the 19th instant.

Whereas serious consequences have resulted and consequences still more serious are to be apprehended from a difference of opinion between the Faculty of the University of Virginia (CB0001) (CB0105)and a large portion of the students thereof with regard to the authority of the Faculty (CB0105)to disband the military corps organ-

[344]

ized by the students at the present session, and though the original cause of excitment was in itself trivial, yet it has led to a state of things which does not now justify the hope of an adjustment between the students who are involved and the Faculty, (CB0105) and confident in the integrity and sincerity with which the real views of the members of the military corps were entertained, and anxious to manifest the same spirit by which we have been actuated, we are willing and desirous that the origin and progress of this unhappy difficulty should be calmly and deliberately reviewed either by a full session of the Board of Visitors of the University (CB0042) or of an enlightened and impartial public opinion. Therefore, resolved that we as students of the University of Virginia (CB0001)hold ourselves individually amenable to the statutes of that institution as the terms of our matriculation expressly import; and if the point of authority involved in the question referred to should be decided by such tribunal against the right which has been claimed by members of the said corps, we, againpledge ourselves to acquiesce cheerfully in such decision and pending this appeal no arms shall be used in the University."

Walter Gray (P28424), secy. John W. Harris (P43508), chairman

Ward (P43873) discovered a pointer in his dinning room and kicked him. Mr. Burwell (P29937) inquired to know who kicked the dog. Col. Ward (P43873) replied that he kicked him. Soon after Mr. Burwell (P29937) remarked that he had the will but not the power to kick Col. Ward (P43873). Shortly after Col. Ward's (P43873) eyes being directed towards Mr. B (P29937) the latter accosted him in the following language "What are you looking at me for? I'm not going to steal any of your diamond plates". On Withdrawing from the room Mr. Burwell (P29937) stoped and gaxed at Col. Ward (P43873) for some moments in a most insolent manner.

Mr. Burwell (P29937) was summoned before the Faculty and appeared. He said that when he made the inquiry as to the kicking of the dog, he supposed he was speaking to a servant. His first remark on being informed by Col. Ward (P43873) that he kicked the dog was "it does not require a man of judgment to kick a dog". It was not until some time agtor when he saw Col. Ward () looking at him as he supposed in an insulting manner that he re- marked that he had the will but not the power to kick Col. Ward (P43873). This remark was illicited not by the kicking of the dog, but by Col. Ward's (P43873) whole conduct towards him. The dog had been Mr. Burwell's (P29937). He had given him away. On that day he had gooten loose and followed him into the college. Had told

[405]

Col. Ward (P43873) in the presence of Col. Woodley (P44018) that if the Col. did not intend to insult him he was sorry for what he had said and would retract it.

Col. Ward (P43873) having been requested to appear before the Faculty, appeared and said that Mr. Burwell's (P29937) department previously had not been good. He often enters the dinning room singing and whistling; wears his hat at the table constantly. The letter which was before the Faculty was read to Mr. Burwell (P29937) in the presence of Mr. Baldwin (P43748) and the facts told and detailed in it admitted to be true. Did not hear Mr. Burwell (P29937) make the remark "It does not require a man of judgment to kick a dog". Had he heard such a remark should have considered it as an aggravation of Mr. Burwell's (P29937) offence and reported it as such.

Dr. Harrison (P25515) offered the following resolution Mr. Nathaniel Burwell's (P29937) conduct at his Hotel the 24th instant being disorderly and in- sulting to the Hotel-keeper, Resolved that he be suspended to the end of the Session.

Mr. Bonnycastle (P43623) moved that the resolution be aminded by striking out all after the word resolved and inserting the words" That he be dismissed from the University".

The question was then put upon the amendment and decided in the Affirmative.

The Resolution as amended was then passed in the following form: Mr. Nathaniel Burwell's (P29937) conduct at his Hotel the 24th instant being disorderly and insulting to the Hotel-keeper,[EVENT: Student Status:Dismissal  ]  Resolved that he be dismissed from the University.

These gentlemen were summoned to appear before the Faculty.

Mr. John C. Rogers (P34049) appeared and said that he had no excuse to offer. Studies until 12 o'clock and it makes him sick to rise early.

Mr. Powell (P40958) said that he could not wake up. Studies until 12 or 1 o'clock. Can study better at night.

Mr. John J. Cocke (P22216) appeared and said that he cannot get to sleep, even when he goes early to bed, till 12 o'clock. Before he came to the University was in the habit of rising about 7 or 8 oclock.

Mr. Sims (P43422) appeared and said that he had been sitting up late preparing for examinations for Graduation. Goes to bed about 12.

Mr. Daniel (P21962) said that he was caught in bed four times before he know it. Thought he would be punished as much for four times as for 11.

Mr. Nathaniel Burwell (P29937) who was at the last meeting of the Faculty dismissed for insulting his Hotel keeper applied through the Chairman for a reconsideration of the sentence, and asks to be premitted to intro- duce the testimony of Messers Wm. B. Johnston (P22628) and C.J. Stuart (P24341) who were present on the occasion which gave rise to his dismissal.

These gentlemen were admitted before the Faculty.

Mr. Johnson (P37724) said that he saw the dog kicked. Mr. Burnwell (P29937) turned and said in a laughing mood that it was a hard kick, then went to eating again. Some short time after he asked who kicked the dog. Col. Ward (P43873) immediately stopped up and said, "I kicked the dog". Mr. Burwell (P29937) then said in a low voice not directed towards Col. Ward," (P43873) It does not require a man of judgment to kick a dog". Col. Ward (P43873) came up several times towards Mr. B (P29937). and asked "What did you say Sir?" Mr. Burwell (P29937) then said, he had the will if he had the power to kick Col. Ward". (P43873)

Mr. Stuart (P24341) stated that his recollection of the facts agreed with the statement made by Mr. Johnson (P37724) except that he thinks Mr. Burwell (P29937) asked who kicked the dog immediately after the dog was kicked; believes that what Mr. Burwell (P29937) said to Col. Ward (P43873) was drawn from him by the Col's manner and not by the kicking of the dog.

On motion of Mr. Rogers (P43658), Resolved that the sentence of dis- missal passed against Mr. Burwell (P29937) on the 31st ult. be changed to suspension to the end of the session and that he be required to go home.

Mr. Bonnycastle (P43623) made a motion which was seconded and passed that the final examination in Professor Magill's (P43655) department of the School of Medicine be dispensed with.

At the instance of Professors Warner (P43656) and Harrison (P25515) the examinations for Graduation on the following are changed to the following dates:

The Chairman informed the Faculty on the report of the Proctor that Mr. James H. Bowyer (P28805) had contracted a debt with a tailor in Charlottes- ville (PL4204) amounting to 108 dollars A another witha shoe-maker of 30 dollars.

The Chairman had sent for Mr. Bowyer (P28805) and his excuse was that he had purchased no more clothing than was necessary, and as his father had not placed funds into the hands of the Patron, he was compelled to go into debt.

A motion was made seconded and passed that Mr. James H. Bowyer (P28805) be reprimanded by the Chairman and that his father be written to.

The Chairman stated to the Faculty that Mr. William J. Fort (P28519) of Mississippi (PL4259) arrived at the University at too late a period last session to become a student; that from that time till the commencement of the present session he remained in Charlottesville (PL4204) and purchased clothing which he did not pay for at the time to the amount of about $40.; on matriculating he deposited all his funds in the Patron's hands without having liquidated his debt.

A motion was made, seconded and passed that the Patron be author- ised to pay the accounts so contracted to the amount of $40. out of Mr. Fort's (P28519) funds deposited for miscellaneous purposes.

The Faculty then adjourned.
