[EVENT: Student Misconduct:Noise Disturbance 1854-10-27] On the night of the 27th of October, a party of students in disguise, numbering perhaps 12 or 15, created disturbances on the lawn, by the blowing of horns and making a fire in front of the Rotunda(PL8428). The Proctor(P43737) who visited the scene of the disturbances, supposed he recognised among the offenders Mr. John M. Porter(P27448), who had previously obtained the Chairman's(P43731) leave to matriculate, but had not then matriculated. The Chairman(P43731) communicated the Proctor's(P43737) suspicions to the Faculty(CB0105); who at a meeting held Nov. 1st. requested the Chairman(P43731) to send for Mr. Porter(P27448) and examine him touching the matter; and if he should become satisfied that Mr. P.(P27448) was just chargeable with the offence indicated to withdraw the leave to matriculate, and require him to quit the University(CB0001).
The Chairman(P43731) accordingly, as soon as practicable summoned Mr. Porter(P27448) before him. The result of the interviews was that Mr P(P27448) denied being on the lawn at the
[]
time specified, and stated further that he had participated in no disturbance at any time during the present session.Nov 9
[EVENT: Student Misconduct:Destruction of Property 1854-11-09] On the night of Thursday Nov 9. at a late hour three or four persons, supposed to be students, perpetrated various outrages in the University(CB0001). Two at least visited Dr. McGuffey's(P43668) Pavilion(PL8470) and forced open his front door, but ran off at his appearance. They broke into his office (an adjourning dormitory) scattered some of his books upon the lawn; broke a chair and defaced and injured another, carried off some of his private papers, and finally threw a billet of wood against the window of a chamber occupied by ladies, breaking a number of panes of glass.
During the same night they broke into Mr. Becker's(P43733) office, took off some of his books, defaced a table &c _ They also visited Dr. Harrison's(P25515) and did some damage to one of his doors.
Nov 23.
No clue to the perpetrators of these outrages has yet been obtained; farther than that the two who visited Dr. McGuffey's(P43668) were students. On the 11th a letter was addressed to him signed "two students" in which they expressed great penitence for the "disgraceful affair";ascribed their misconduct to their being drunk at the time, and enclose 20$ to pay for damages &c _ The money was returned through the Post Office. The person who applied for it is known.
[]
He is supposed to be cognizant of the guilty parties: and so are several others whose names are known. The Chairman(P43731) has given instructions to the Proctor(P43737) to confer with the proper officer in regard to the measures to be adopted to bring the offenders before a court of Justice. The Faculty(CB0105) will it is hoped thereby get possession of their names so as to punish them under the laws of the University(CB0001).Nov 11
[EVENT: Student Misconduct:Guns 1854-11-10] Dr. Schele(P43667) reported Mr. Salle(P25334) for having in his possession (10th inst) a pistol in violation of a law of the University(CB0001).
Nov 13
The Chairman(P43731) sent for Mr. Salle(P25334), reprimanded him for the offence reported, and required him to deposit the pistol with the Proctor(P43737) to be returned to him when he leaves the University(CB0001), or to be delivered to any person to whom he may sell it, provided the purchaser shall not be a student of the University(CB0001).
Nov 23
Gave Mr. W.H.H. Lynn(P36425) leave of absence six days to visit home.

[EVENT: Student Misconduct 1854-11-27] On the 27th of November a difficulty occurred at a Fair in Charlottesville(PL4204) between Mr. C.W. Helm(P23360) and Mr. W. L. Henderson(P37820), the latter being at the time in a state of intoxication. It was adjourned until the next day for settlement. On the 28th, ineffectual efforts were made by the friends of Mr. Helm(P23360) to bring about a peaceable adjustment. A hostile meeting between the parties followed, in which Mr. Nash(P22247) the friend of Mr. Helm(P23360) and Mr. Th. T. Crommelin(P29929) the friend of Mr. Henderson(P37820) became implicated. Mr. Helm(P23360) was unarmed. Messers Henderson(P37820) & Crommelin(P29929) were armed with Bowie knives, and Mr. Nash(P22247) with a pistol. All of which were drawn during
[]
the encounter, but fortunately without bodily harm to any of the parties.[EVENT: Student Misconduct:Guns 1854-11-30] [EVENT: Student Status:Withdrawal from University Action:granted 1854-11-30] It appeared on enquiry that Mr. Henderson(P37820) was most deeply implicated in violating the laws of the University(CB0001). He had the reputation of generally going armed, and of sometimes displaying his arms in a reckless manner. His habits altogether appeared unfavourable to the successful prosecution of the objects, for which he ought to have come to the University(CB0001), and injurious in their influence upon others. It was therefore thought best to separate him from the institution as soon as possible. Leave was accordingly granted him to withdraw on the 2nd of Decr., and he left the University(CB0001) the following day.
[EVENT: Student Status:Withdrawal from University Action:postponed 1854-11-30] Mr. Crommelin's(P29929) conduct in the difficulty also appeared in a very unfavourable light. He was advised to withdraw - but he offered an explanation in mitigation of his offence, and it was not thought fit to insist on his withdrawal without taking the advice of the Faculty(CB0105).
In the case of Mr. Nash(P22247) who has sustained during his connexion with the University(CB0001) an exemplary character, both as respects his deportment and attention to his duties, there were such extenuating circumstances as would have justified
[]
wilder measures had success attended the effort to quietly separate Mr. Crommelin(P29929) from the University(CB0001). But failing in this effort the Chairman(P43731) felt constrained to refer the matter to the Faculty(CB0105) to take such further action, as should seem necessary for upholding the laws and putting a check to the dangerous practice of carrying arms, which there is reason to fear is but too prevalent among the young men who resort to the University(CB0001).Nov 30
[EVENT: Student Misconduct:Drinking 1854-11-29] [EVENT: Student Misconduct:Destruction of Property 1854-11-29] [EVENT: Student Misconduct:Noise Disturbance 1854-11-29] Mr. Brock(P47123) of the Delevan House(PL9115), reported that G.E. Hunt(P37360) and Thomas G. Field(P23108) visited his house at 12 O'clock on the night of the 29th. Nov, in a state of intoxication- that they behaved in a most disorderly manner, using profane language and making various noisy demonstrations _ That they broke out two panes of glass in a window at the head of the first flight of steps during their visit. Also that a gate belonging to Mr. Diggs was found at the door of one of his boarders, next morning, which he supposed had been carried there by the above named students.
He reported Mr. Th. Ewing(P34059) as being of the party but stated that he had reason to believe that he was not intoxicated, and that he made some effort to keep the others quiet.
Dec 1.
Messers Hunt(P37360) Field(P23108) and Ewing(P34059) were sent for,
[]
and severally informed of the foregoing charges against them. They acknowledged that in returning together, from Charlottesville(PL4204) on the night of the 29th they visited Mr. McCall's(P24861) room at the Delevan House(PL9115) at the hour of ten O'clock, but left some time before twelve O'clock. They denied explicitly that they committed any of the disorders laid to their charge. Messers Hunt(37360) & Field(P23108) however admitted that they had been drinking. For this offence they were reprimanded; and warned against a repetition of it.Dec 8.

[EVENT: Student Misconduct:Noise Disturbance 1854-12-20] On the night of the 20th of Decr: some ten or twelve persons, supposed to be students, assembled on the lawn at an early hour, and commenced blowing horns, and making other noisy demonstrations. I went amongst them and advised them to disperse and not to disturb the quiet of the University(CB0001): but without effect. Though apparently not intoxicated they seemed bent upon a frolic, and showed no disposition to be dissuaded from their purpose. They proceeded to make a fire upon the lawn, and at a later hour broke down the door giving access to the
[]
bell, went to it, and rang it for some time. All the parties were so completely disguised, that it was impossible to identify any of them.[EVENT: Student Misconduct:Drinking 1854-12-21] On the 21st of Decr. about 12 O'clock I saw four students on the Rail Road above McKennie's Bookstore(PL8519), some of whom appeared to be intoxicated. Having, as I supposed identified three of them as Messrs. B.J. Curry(P39655), W.B. De Yampert(P28716) and Thomas G. Field(P23108), I sent for these gentlemen, and examined them on the subject. Mr. Curry denied being present at all, on the occasion referred to. Mr. De Yampert admitted that he was of the company, but said he was not intoxicated - was engaged in taking care of others. Mr. Field admitted that he was intoxicated. This being the second offence of the kind on his part, that had come to my knowledge - and he having been reprimanded for the first and warned against a repetition, I informed him that his case would be referred to the consideration of the Faculty at the next meeting, and discharged him.

I sent for Mr. Claytor the next day and made known the charges against him. He admitted that they were true and seemed heartily ashamed of his conduct. He said that being the close of the year he accepted the invitation of a friend to drink with him. Unintentionally he had indulged too freely. That it as his first offence since his connexion with the University(CB0001), and should be his last. That he had made a pledge not to drink another drop during the session. I reprimanded him for the offences committed and encouraged him to adhere to the pledge as the best security for future good conduct.

[EVENT: Student Misconduct 1855-01-25] [EVENT: Boarding 1855-01-25] Having had reason to believe that there were students boarding at hotels in Charlottesville(PL4204), in violation of the Enactments, I made enquiry and ascertained that Messrs A.S. Douglass(P25265), J.R. Wilde(P28029), J.D. Coffee(P33962), S.P. Owen(P29953), David Richardson(P36668), James Sandford(P42060) & T.G. Howorth(P27545) were thus offending- I sent for these gentlemen (with the exception of Mr. Wilde, reported to be sick) and required them to return to the licensed boarding houses. Messrs Douglass, Coffee, Richardson & Sandford promised to do so, and made their arrangements accordingly.
Mr. Owen(P29953) objected to the requirement, stating that he could not find suitable accomodations, and espcially that he could not get a room to himself at a licensed boarding house. That quiet and seclusion were indispensable to the successful prosecution of his studies. He had secured these at his present lodging and he would ask leave to withdraw from the University(CB0001) rather than make a change. That he was prompted to such purpose by no spirit of opposition to the due enforcement of the laws of the University, but because he thought his longer continuance at the instituiton would be unprofitable to
[]
himself, if compelled to live in a crowded boarding house- and withal, there were circumstances of family concernment which rendered his return home desirable.[EVENT: Student Status:Withdrawal from University Action:granted 1855-01-25] I informed him that compliance with the enactments would be insisted upon. Whereupon he asked leave to withdraw, and with the concurrence of the professor whom schools the attended, the leave was granted (Jany 27th).
Mr. Howorth(P27545) alleged the state of his health as the cause of his seeking a hotel, and asked to be allowed to remain at the same. His case was referred to the consideration of the Faculty(CB0105).
Mr. Wilde(P28029) having in the course of a few days asked leave to withdraw from the University(CB0001) on account of ill health and the leave having been granted, it became unnecessary to see him in regard to the violation of the enactments referred to

June 25, 1855
The Session which is about to close has been numerically the most prosperous in the history of the Institution. The whole number of students has been 515, an increase of 49 upon the last session. Notwhithstanding the very large number of students, an usual degree of quiet and good order has been prevailed, and, it is hoped, a corresponding degree of success has attended the efforts of the Professors in imparting instruction.
Respectfully submitted. S. Maupin(P43731) Ch. Faculty.
