They were in town together and Mr. Scott (P37911) proposed to visit the Uni- versity and spend the night with him; being his friend he could not refuse him; did not regard himas a dismissed student; considered him as a private citizen; did not intend to shelter him because he considered him persecuted by the Faculty.

[411]

On being summoned before the Chairman this presumption was strengthened by Mr. Robertson's (P39501) refusing to answer any questions.

Mr. Robertson (P39501) was then summoned before the Faculty, appeared and refused to answer any question in relation to the Charge of having purchased a coat not uniform.

Mr. Tucker (P43619) proposed the following resolution which was seconded and passed.

The Faculty having satisfactory evidence that Mr. William J.

[EVENT: Student Misconduct:Uniform Violation  ] The Chairman informed the Faculty that Mr. Samuel W. Ingo (P31585) attended Church on Sunday without uniform; on being summoned before the Chairman, his excuse was that he was not aware that he was violating the Law. A motion was made, seconded and passed that Mr. Ingo (P31585) be reprimanded by the Chairman.

[EVENT: Student Misconduct:Verbal Assault  ] The Chairman informed the Faculty that it had been reported to him by Professor Blaettermann (P43621) that Messers Francis W. Gilmer (P31348) and Oliver L.

[412]

notwithstanding a request made by the Professor that they would not swear, they still continued to swear and be disorderly.

Messers Gilmer (P31348) and Battle (P36707) having been summoned before the Faculty appeared and said that they did not swear after being spoken to by Dr. Blaettermann (P43621). Mr. Gilmer (P31348) may have sworn once after the Doctor spoke to him and before he went to the Chairman, after the later event he is certain that he did not swear.

Neither of them swore intentionally; it was accidental when they did, and they intended no disrespect. A motion was made, seconded and passed that Messers Gilmer (P31348) and Battle (P36707) be reprimanded by the Chairman.

The Chairman proposed the following resolution which was seconded and passed:

Dr. Rogers (P43658) submitted the following resolution which was seconded and passed.

Resolved that when a student has stood his Examinations as a Candidate for degree in any school and gailed, the Committee may excuse him from the public examinations immediately succeeding in that School.

Mr. Bonnycastle (P43623) from the committee on the subject of idleness and Blanks made the following report:

The Committee appointed to consider what means may exist of preventing the evil at present arising from the idleness of Junior and other students, many of whom, as well at their daily as at their general examinations, exhibit

[416]

proofs of such idleness and inattention to their studies as cannot but prove highly detrimental to the University.

Report that whilst it seems very difficult to maintain such a check upon the idle and inattentive as shall oblige them to fulfill, to the extent desirable, the purposes for which they came to the University, yet it appears possible to diminish this evil and to devise such rules which tending to give uniformity to the reports of inattention and idleness in the several schools and to make known to the Faculty at an early period the names of those whose timely re- moval would doubtless prevent many of the disturbances to which the University has been exposed and also prove a beneficial stimulus to that large portion of the students whose youth and want of habits of self-command are the chief sources of their errors.

To effect as far as seems possible these beneficial objects the Committee recommend:

(1) That it should be made an especial duty of the Chairman at each monthly meeting to call upon the professors individually for the names of such students as the latter may consider as not doing any good. That it should also be made the duty of the Professor to come provided with a written report of the attendence and proficiency of such students arranged as far as possible numerically and that the secretary, having previously drawn cut in the Faculty minutes a list of the several schools, should be required to enter opposite to each the report of the Professor or when no report was returned, to make an entry to that effect.

(2) That three examinations instead of two should be held during the year and that in all cases except those of students who have been unavoidably absent from one examination, the joint and not the separate results of the three, should be reported at the close of the session; and, lastly, that to remove much as the increased labour that would result to the Professors, two members of the Faculty should be regarded as consituting a Committee.

C. Bonnyecastle (P43623), Chairman of the Committee

[417]

A motion was made, seconded, and passed that the first resolution of the Committee be adopted.

[EVENT: Course Reference:Modern Languages:English  ] The Report of the Committee to examine the Candidates for Graduation on the English Language was laid before the Faculty, and on motion made, seconded, and passed was confirmed.
