August 16 The Faculty admitted A. Baldwin W. Baldwin Greenewood Kendall & White to the Sophomore class & Carr Gibert Glenn Hamilton Harrison Lefils Lowe & Shorter to the Freshman class & Blanton was admitted as an irregular. A resolution of the Board of Trustees permitting students to lodge out of the college under such conditions as the Faculty might prescribe, having been laid before the Faculty, Profs. Waddel & Jackson were appointed a committee to propose suitable regulations
Aug 18. Messrs. Waddel & Jackson, reported the following Resolution
.
Resolved That no student shall be permitted to lodge out of the College buildings without a written request from his guardian or parent made after securing the following notice from the secretary of the Faculty. viz.
Dear Sir
Your son (or ward} informs us that it is your request that he should be permitted to lodge out of the College buildings.

The Board of Trustees have granted such permission to parents & guardians if af'ter consulting the Faculty they shall still desire it. We feel it however our duty to say to you, that tho' there may be reasons on the part of parents desiring this course, there are others in our opinion still stronger, for preferring that in most cases they should remain in college. As far as we can
judge from experience as well as from the long established
usages of colleges, we have reason to believe that young men will study better & be less liable to temptations if residing in College than if thrown from under the eye of any of the Faculty. If however you still desire his lodging out it must be on the following conditions 1st That at any time when it may be in the opinion of the Faculty for his advantage or for the good of the College, he shall be required to lodge within the College buildings
2 That he shall not be permitted to lodge in any public house, or in any building in which a private family does not reside & with whom he does not board
3 That if he should not conduct himself in such a manner as you may approve or as may be consistant with the rules of the Institution, you will not consider the blame in any respect resting upon the Faculty in as much as they cannot superintend his moral conduct unless he reside within the College buildings
This report of the committee was finally adopted unanimously. 21st Aug. Footman of the Freshman class was brought before the Faculty on account of his being in very suspicious circumstances with regard to some disorder in College. He was admonished by the

Prest. & his mother was notified of the case together with the
fact that he was idle & mischeivous in his general character.
22 Aug. It was ordered by the Faculty that the Senior class pronounce original orations in two divisions, in the latter part of the term.
Sept. 1 Most of the Sophomore class were reported by Tutor Dod as absentees from Recitation apparently by design & conspiracy; & it was resolved that a fine of two dollars be imposed on A. Baldwin Baxter, B. & T. Bonner, W. Crawford Crowell, Dearing, Demere & Goneke & that their parents be notified of this decision.
Sept 2d Rolin was restored to college, the President being directed to admonish him of the necessity of strict regularity
Sep 4th Battle & Rinder secured dismission at the request of their parents.
Sept 26 A petition was presented by the two societies concerning the Junior orators, whereupon the following preamble & resolutions were adopted by the Faculty.
Whereas
A committee from the two literary societies connected with college having appeared before the Faculty requesting our concurrence in their petition to the Board of Trustees to restore them the privilege of electing Junior orators; and Whereas This committee have brought forward several reasons for this concurrence in some of which the Faculty fully agree tho' they do not in all; therefore Resolved by the Faculty,


1st That we are fully sensible of the advantages afforded by the societies, in the improvement of their members, in the cultivation of kind & friendly feelings--in exciting additional interest in the life of a student & in promoting the general prosperity of College 2d That we are sincerely anxious to support these societies as far as we do it consistently with other higher & more important duties connected with the discipline of the University 3 That the suppression of party strife tho' desireable in some points of view has had little or no influence in our opposition to the transfer of the power of election to the Societies 4 That our concurrence in the prayer of the petitioners will depend on the nature of those pledges which the connnittee informed us would be made by the societies for the suppression of those evil effects on the character & standing of the college which the students as well as ourselves have seen in our past experience to be connected with elections by the societies.
Oct 2 The societies reported that they were every way willing to make such arrangements as would satisfy the Faculty but were hindered by the lateness in the session whereupon Resolved That the Faculty adhere to their 4th Resolution
Oct 10th A letter was directed to be written to the guardian of Shorter of the Freshman class reporting his general attention to the duties of College & giving him notice that he could not be permitted to return the next session unless upon the most explicit assurances of his correct deportment.


Oct 30 Resolved by the Faculty that it be recommended to the trustees to raise the requisites for admission so as to make algebra as far as simple equations, & Lallust & Latin Prosody, necessary for admission into the Freshman class.
Jan 16th 1838 The Faculty met & commenced the business of the new year. All the professors were present & Mr. Schinck the new tutor took his seat with the Faculty. After the division of the studies among the different officers, the following young gentlemen were admitted as members of college viz. Baker J. L. Dtrnha.m Pope Quarterman T. S. Stevens Thomson & Vernon into the Sophomore class & Barnard Culverson J. LeConte L. Leconte Phinizy & Strong into the Freshman class & Moseley Whatley & J. M. White were admitted as irregulars. Adams Baldwin u pin & King were reexamined on Arithmetic & they were notified that unless they should be found well acquainted with this subject in the course of six
weeks they should no longer be members of college.
Jan 24th A proposition was brought forward to make an attempt to restrain extravagance in the use of money on the part of the students. The plan consisted in procuring from the Merchants & Traders of the village a pledge that they would not trust any one whose parent should forbid it & pledge themselves to the Faculty that they would neither pay nor cause to be paid any debts that were contracted contrary to this prohibition. It was postponed for more mature consideration. Jan 31st. The Secretary having procured the requisite pledge from most of the merchants & traders of the village the Faculty adopted the proposal & directed a circular to be written to the parents requesting their cooperation.


Feb 8th The circular was this day printed & ordered to be sent to the parents & guardians of each of the students. It detailed the evils of the present arrangement & requested the parent either to allow his son no credit at all at the stores or else to limit it to such a definite amount as he might think necessary & proper, All who acquiesced in the plan proposed were requested to return the circular with their names attached to a pledge that they would not pay any debts of their sons or wards unless they had previously authorised them.
Feb 10th It was ordered by the Faculty that two copies of the catalogue of the students be published for sale to the students & for distribution by the Faculty.
March 5th Mr. Schinck having giving notice to the Faculty that he desired to resign his tutorship on the 1st of April, it was directed by the Prudential committee that the Faculty should elect some one to fill the vacancy. Mr. Hutchinson of Princeton was in consequence elected.
March 20th Notice was directed to be given to the Merchants & traders of the village that 39 out of the 76 parents who had been written to had assented to the measure proposed to them for limiting the expenditure of money by their sons. April 2d Dr. Ward was this day authorized by the Faculty to take the Senior class on a Botanical & mineralogical excursion to the mountains & leave of absence was granted for ten days. April 3d Notice was to day given to the Merchants in the Village that 7 more of the parents had assented to our circular


April 16th The examinations of the term were this day finished &
Adams & Baldwin of the Freshman class were directed to leave
college on account of gross neglect of their college studies.
Mr. Hutchinson having arrived commenced his duties as tutor.
May 1st. 1838 9 o'clock A.M.
The Faculty met to investigate the particulars of an affray said to have occurred, on yesterday Evening, at the Georgia Factory between some of the students of College, & the overseer of Mr. Moore. Messrs Waddel & McCay were directed to visit the Factory, & examine those who had witnessed the fracas, and obtain such other authentic information as might aid in a full investigation of the affair. Adjourned to meet in the Afternoon.
5 O'Clock, P.M.
Faculty met & heard the report of the examining Committee.
Messrs Jones, J. H. Dunham, Demere & J. White of the Sophomore Class
were called before the Faculty. Their several statements agreed, for
the most part, with those of the other party, and of the bye-standers
generally, &, in substance, was as follows, viz.
That Demere & Jones, on their return from Watkinsville, (at which place they had attended, in compliance of a requisition of the Governor for a draft of Soldiers for the Cherokee Service) had driven their buggy in such a manner as to oust Mr. Yarboro' (the aforesaid overseer) & his horse from the middle of the Road. In this point the statements disagreed, the Students averring that they did not touch Mr. Y's horse, but that of one who rode beside him, while Yarboro' declared that his own horse was rubbed by the wheels of the buggy.
Mr. Yarboro, being considerably intoxicated, asked them what they
meant by such conduct. To which Jones replied "To run over you, or
any other fool who would act in the same manner." The transition from
this to oaths and abusive curses was Easy, and each party accuses the
other of violent & abusive language. Yarboro' dared any of them to fight him, saying that he Could whip the whole of them; and, very
soon, both parties were on their feet, ready for battle. Yarboro',
however, rather frightened at the formidable array of Canes, and, (as he says) of dirks, refused to fight, unless they would lay aside their weapons; this they declined doing, saying that they did not fight black-guards with their fists. The horseman then remounted, swearing vengeance, and rode on ahead. When he reached his own house, he dismounted & threw two or three stones with violence, at the two young men, as they passed in their buggy. One of these missiles struck Demere on the side, and another hit his cane. They leaped out & pursued the assailant into his house. The door being immediately locked, they were prevented from entering. They then threw stones at the house, broke the windows & came near striking the wife of Mr. Yarborough. He called for his gun & threatened to kill the aaaailants & James H. Dunham, (who had now joined his fellow-students) endeavoured to borrow a gun from one of the bye-standers that he might be equal with their adversary. Dunham was endangered next by another stone, which was thrown from the back of the House, he having first declared to Yarborough, that, though not concerned in the difficulty at first, he would see his friends safely through. In the course of Five or Ten minutes quite a crowd had collected around the house, & while Dunham & Jones were beating down the door with an axe, White joined

the company, to aid them & as he said, to see that they received no harm. Demere had dissuaded the rest from breaking down the door, but when it had been demolished he joined the rest in searching for Yarboro'. Not readily finding him, they passed through the dwelling, into an out house in the Rear, the four students already named being nearly together in pursuit. White & Jones ascended first into the loft of the outhouse--the wife & Demere followed, Dunham being close behind, White seized Yarboro' first, & having disarmed him, in the first place, of a Butcher-Knife, assisted Jones in dragging him from his hiding place. By this time ;IDemere had got up, & Struck Y. over the head with his cane. Jones, Demer., & Dunham each belaboured him with their canes, for some moments; The woman all the while shreiking & praying them to spa.re the life of her husband, which entreaties, in consequence of the noise & their excited feelings, were either unheard or disregarded. Demere appears to have been the first who noticed them, & immediately urged the rest to stop, which, according to their own account, they did, so soon as they heard the woman's appeal to them for her husband. Jones, according to his own acknowledgement to the Faculty, had previously remarked to the wife, "This is no place for a Female," & therefore, so far as he was concerned, knowingly committed the outrage in Mrs. Yarboro's presence. White did not strike the man at all, having gone, as he said, to see that his friends received no injury.
The Faculty considered, 1st, that all of the parties were guilty of a riot. 2nd, that entering the house, in the violent manner, detailed, with intent to take revenge for their supposed injuries, was Burglary, at least so far as Dunham & Jones were concerned, &

that tho' Demere dissuaded from the act, & tho' White did not Come up till just as it was completed, yet as they availed themselves of the wrong committed by the first two, & entered the House with the same intent, they, thereby became "Pa.rticipes criminis.
3rdly. That in disarming the man, in dragging him from his hiding place, and beating him violently in his own house, & in presence of his family, they were guilty of assault & Battery of the most aggravated character.
Adjourned to 9 O'Clock tomorrow.
Faculty met to decide on the punishment of the offenders in the affr.ay of Monday Evening. It was first unanimously resolved, that Jones & Dunham be expelled. In regard to Demere, although he had dissuaded the rest from breaking down the door & had finally stopped the others from beating the man, yet, inasmuch as he w.s the first to strike the man in his own house, & in presence of his own family, the Faculty
passed the same sentence on him. So also with White. Altha' he did the man no harm, yet as he was so far active as to drag him from his place of concealment, & take from him his means of Defence; and as he
was in College on terms of probation (he having been expelled from
this institution, some years since) the Faculty though him worthy of
the same punishment.
It was, therefore,
Resolved,
.,
That James H. Dunham, Thomas Jones, John Demere &
Joseph M. White, of the Sophomore Class, for having been guilty of
conduct, which exposes them, under the Laws of the State, to an
infamous punishment, be expelled from College.


Signed
Charles F. McCay

That they wish to have nothing to do with physicians certificates & that he must be more regular in future.

A petition was presented from Hancock, couched in very respectful & Contrite terms, & throwing himself upon the clemency of the Faculty, whereupon it was resolved, That George Hancock is restored to his station in College, & relieved from the jeopardy in which he has been placed, but that he is to consider himself under the strictest probation in every respect.

June 6th Mr. Tutor Wood reported to the Faculty, a.n occurrence in
which Joseph D. Bibb of the Freshman Class, & William J. Bibb of the
Sophomore Class, were engaged, the details of which are as follow.
viz.
It appeared that J. D. Bibb had been frequently in the habit of writing cutting capital letters & otherwise, trifling with his slate during the recitation. Mr. Wood had requested him to abstain from so doing as many as four or five different times, more especially as he was, generally, very illy prepared upon his recita.ions.

On the morning of the 5th Inst. Mr. Wood observed him engaged,

as usual, in trifling with his slate, instead of attending to his recitation. He again spoke to him on the subject, reminded him how frequently he had been warned, remarked that "such conduct was ungentlemanly, and that he appeared to be less of a gentleman than any one in the class." To this Bibb replied that he was as "much of a gentleman as any one else," and continued to write on his slate. Mr. Wood then requested him to leave the room, which he flatly refused to do. Mr Wood then remarked that he might "do as he pleased he might leave the room, or leave the College." He then requested him to lay aside his slate, which he did.
At about 8 o I clock on the same morning the above-named J. D. & W, J. Bibb, his cousin, of the Sophomore class, knocked at the door of Mr Wood's private apartment, on being desired to enter, they came
in, each armed with a cane, & J. D. in front. The latter remarked,
"I have come to tell you what I think of you." Mr Wood then advanced toward them, upon which J. D. Bibb put his hand to his left breast & said "you are no gentleman," or words to that effect. Mr Wood then asked W. J. Bibb, who stood near the threshold of the door, "what interest he had in the matter," he replied that his "cousin had been insulted, & that, consequently He considered himself, also, & Therefore, he resented it as coming from a nasty dirty Tutor." adding a good deal more of grossly insulting language. Upon this J. D. Bibb Ex.claimed "I consider you a damned rascal, damned villain, & no gentleman" Mr Wood then requested all who were collected in the passage, and who were not concerned in the matter, to retire, which they did generally. W. J. Bibb then remarked to his cousin," Let us

you have said what you had to say to the nasty dirty Tutor. 11
Upon this statement J. D, Bibb was detained before the Faculty and, upon being questioned, acceded, generally, to its correctness.
W. J. Bibb was also called before the Faculty, & acknowledged every thing as relating to the part which he ha.d sustained in the Transaction.
The Faculty, after due deliberation, adopted the following resolutions, viz,

"Resolved, that Joseph Dubose Bibb, of the Freshman class, for grossly insulting & profane Language to an officer of College, be Expelled from this institution, & further,
Resolved, that William Joseph Bibb, of the Sophomore class, for very disrespectful language to an officer, as well as for having, upon his own statement, urged and aided the a.bovementioned J, D. Bibb in the course pursued by him, be expelled from this institution."
June 8th 5 P.M. The Faculty met. A letter was received from A. Hull Esq. enquiring whether any steps could be taken for the restoration of
W. J. & J. D. Bibb to their late standing in College, and also intimating the opinion that the Bibbs had wholly misapprehended Mr. Wood; Whereupon, the Faculty enquired of Mr Wood, what was his intention in using the Epithets which occasioned the improper conduct on part of the Bibbs; and were assured by him that he intended nothing more than a severe reproof for a dereliction of duty on part of J. D. Bibb; & that he had not the slightest intention of alluding to his Character in any other respect, and that, if he was understood,


as having reference to any thing disconnected with the simple conduct of J. D. with respect to his duty in the recitation room, he was totally misapprehended, It was therefore "Resolved that Mr Hull be informed that as the conduct of the young men, however, exceptionable in itself, was predicated of a mistake, they can be restored, provided they are willing to make such an apology, as, it would seem, that any one, on the discovery of his mistake, would be not only willing but anxious to make. "
Monday June 11th 8 1/2 A.M.
Faculty met. Wm. J. & J. D. Bibb appeared before them; and, after hearing the record of the meeting of Saturday read, & having made a verbal retraction & acknowledgement of their error, retired, after being directed to call upon the secretary for the purpose of signing such terms & obligations as the Faculty might deem suitable. Faculty then adopted the annexed form for that purpose, to be signed & read before the students in the chapel as a condition of their restoration, viz.
11 We, each of us, are now convinced that we misapprehended Mr Wood, in the use of the Epithets adopted by him, on the morning of 5th Inst., & which occasioned the improper conduct on our part. We more over, express our regret for the language which we used to Mr Wood, acknowledge that it was improper, and pledge ourselves, that if restored to College, we will, in future, endeavour to avoid all similar Conduct." Whereupon Faculty adjourned.

Wm. J. Bibb upon reflecting on the above form of acknowledgement declined signing it. J. D. Bibb came forward & signed it, & was restored to College publicly on the morning of the 12th June.
June 10th A request was received from Mrs Sarah Harris, of Athens, requesting leave to withdraw her son Thomas, of the Freshman Class, until Commencement. Leave was granted, & Secretary authorised to grant Dismission in form, if it should be applied for.

Sept 30th
At a called meeting of the President & Professors, it was resolved the following statement be submitted to the Prudential Committee of the Trustees, at their next meeting viz.
The Faculty have witnessed, with regret, the culpable negligence
evinced for some time past by the present Tutors, in the discharge of

their duties. A very prominent to the appointment of these officers, was, obviously the accurate and due performance of Police duties, especially at night. Hence they have always been required to lodge in the Co.lege buildings. The Faculty regret to say that this object has, since the accession of the present incumbents, been, in a great measure defeated.
Symptoms of negligence had begun to evince themselves before Commencement, in the fact of the repeated absences of Messrs Wood & Irving from college, after the ringing of the Evening Bell, which was too frequently indicated by the increased noise & Confusion in the college buildings after night-fall. As the gentlest measure suggested, they were kindly, but firmly admonished, by the President, in the presence, and at the request of the Faculty. This, with kindly remonstrances in private, from different individuals of the Faculty, seemed to produce no lasting effect.
The Faculty are constrained to say that this state of things has been growing worse since Commencement. Neither of these officers has attended chapel excercises a majority of the time, Mr Irving scarcely a fourth part of it. The latter gentleman has slept out of College for the better part of the past three weeks, leaving his night duties to be performed by the courtesy of a Professor. It is but just to remark that Mr Wood's defalcations have not been nearly so extensive as those of the other. As the immediate Curators of the College, the Faculty would be justly blamed, did they not lay these facts before the Committee; at the same time, suggesting, that more & minute information may be obtained sh'd it be deemed necessary.


The above memorial was handed to the Prudential Committee at their meeting on Wednesday 2nd October 1839.

Oct 4th A dismission was granted to Wm Thomson, of the Senior Class, at the request of his mother without censure.
Oct 8th

The Faculty met at the Library. After considerable discussion with Mr Tutor Wood, on the subject of the Faculty's memorial to the Prudential Committee, which was left indefinite, The Faculty took
up the subject of the outrage Committed, on the night of Thursday last, upon the furniture, Books, &c of Prof McCay, during his absence. Several incidental circumstances, combined to make the Faculty suspect that Jacob Phinizy & Alfred Dearing were engaged with others in the perpetration of this foul act. Wherefore it was resolved, that
A Committee be appointed to wait on Messrs Dearing & Phinizy and notify them that the Faculty, believing that they have sufficient ground for instituting a civil process against their sons for participating in the outrage Committed upon Prof McCay's room & Property on the night of Thursday last, are prepared to say that if the young men will come before them, disclose the names of tll persons engaged, & secure the payment of the damages, they shall merely be subject to such College Censure as shall be deemed Commensurate with the offence, but if not, that the prosecution shall go on, & further, that these gentlemen be invited to attend a meeting of the Faculty, this afternoon, at 5 P.M. at the President's Room.
Whereupon Messrs Hull & Waddel were appointed of that Committee.
and the Faculty adjourned.
Oct 9th 9 A.M.
Faculty met. Committee reported that Mr Dearing was satisfied of his boy's innocence, and that Mr Phinizy merely stated that his boy denied all hand in it. It was therefore determined, that a declaration should be filed against Phinizy before a magistrate, That Junius B. Hillyer Esq be retained to manage the case. Mr Prof McCay was made Prosecutor, Messrs Ward & Waddel, a committee of counsel. An attempt was made by the last named persons to get the co-operation of Judge Dougherty, he declined as being a Trustee; The faculty were advised to await a meeting of the Prudential Committee to be held at an early period. and adjd
Evening Session.

That the Faculty be recommended to Suspend the proposed prosecution under the condition that the perpetrators indemnify the College & the Individual injured to the amount of the pecuniary loss,
& that they submit themselves, with due subordination to the Judgement of the Faculty, & provided also, that they shall maintain a decorous & orderly course toward the Faculty, & a.11 others, after the sentence of the Faculty shall have been pronounced, whatever that may

It was also in Evidence that Phinizy was drunk, or considerably under

the influence of ardent spirits. Several other persons were mentioned by them as having been present, either attempting to save the property or as spectators. Tinsley & Phinizey were then permitted to retire & the Faculty adjourned for dinner.

duties, having neglected very much some of his studies, & the

April 27, Faculty met to inquire into a report in town against the character of Harper of the Senior Class. It was rumored that he had handed to a servant of Mr. Hunt's a number of obscene & lascivious plates to be exhibited to the young ladies of the Female academy, that they had actually been exhibited--that the servant when whipped had given the nrune of Mr. Harper as the person whom she was told handed them to her--and the Faculty met at the request of Mr. Harper to inquire into these rumors & to find out if possible who were the persons actually guilty.
Mr. Harper delivered to the Faculty the pictures supposed to have been exhibited--these agreed with the description given of them by the persons who had seen them at the Female Academy & were further identified by a piece of newspaper which had been pasted on the back of one that had been torn by the servant. Their identity was not indeed called into question in all the investigation which followed.
Harper had obtained these plates from Grant of the Sophomore

class a day or two since & had gotten them merely for the sake of aiding him in investigating the report against him. Grant on being called said that he had borrowed them from Gray of the Sophomore Class, that since he had received them, tho, they had been exhibited to his fellow students, they had not been out of his hands, but that he had
borrowed them only about 3 weeks since, which was subsequent to the time when they had been exhibited at the Fems.le Academy.
Grant however a:fterwards acknowledged that some of the pictures had been out of his possession a part of the time, but still this was two or three weeks a:rter their exhibition,
Gray on being called on stated that the pictures were his--that he had had them for a year or so past--but that he had parted with them on the 16th of March last to a fellow student who said he wanted them for a particular purpose, & that until that time they had not been out of his possession. When asked how he could fix the time so accurately, he replied that the person who borrowed them lent him his horse to go over home for them, that on his way from home he met Mr. Wood going over to his aunt's to dinner, & that he had inquired of his annt the time & it was fixed by her on the 16th. Gray further said that they were out of his hands several days, that he gave them to this person in the presence of several of his fellow students, that he had received them back in the presence of Taylor & others, that they were not torn when he lent them but when he received them, the person to whom he had lent them remarked that the girl had torn one of them & pasted a peice of newspaper on the back, & that since he had gotten them, they were in his possession until he had loaned them to Grant.
As the time of exhibiting them at the Academy was about the middle of March & as Mr. Hunt beleived it was between the night of the 16th & the night of the 17th Harper was told he could not be cleared until the time they were out of Gray's hands shd be accounted for.




Harper said he knew to whom Gray had lent them, but was unwilling to name him, for if he did the person could only clear himself by getting into a difficulty equally bad, viz. that of having given them to a servant girl for the purpose of showing them to her young mistress.
He was satisfied however this was not the same case as the one now before the Faculty, since he had gone with this person to the girl, & she had confirmed in their presence the story, that had been told him by this person. He did not wish therefore to involve him in a new difficulty having no connexion with the one in which he himself was interested, & which the Faculty were now investigating. He & Gray each went out to consult this person, but on their being unwilling then to expose him, the Faculty adjourned until afternoon. April 27th Afternoon
When the Faculty met Lumpkin of the Junior Class came with Harper, Gray, & Grant. They then informed us that Lumpkin was the person who had borrowed them & returned them to Gray at the time referred to in Gray's testimony--he acknowledged that this was true, & that he had had them for two days, tho' he could not be sure that this was the exact time he had had them in his possession. He was however unwilling to state to whom he had delivered them, as he could not do it without inculpating others. When pressed to do this & when told that he would be held responsible for the pictures unless he gave up the guilty ones, he declined doing it, & insisted on knowing why he was brought before the Faculty, what were the charges against him, what the evidence, & who the accusers. He was told that the Faculty had not charged him with any thing, that he had come voluntarily forward to exculpate Harper, & confessed to us that he had borrowed the pictures & before his returning them to the owner they had been exhibited in town. The
Faculty adjourned to give Lumpkin time to decide what he would do, & to afford an opportunity to some member of the Faculty to explain to Gov. Lumpkin the situation of his son. April 28th Faculty met & Lumpkin was found unwilling to give up the names of those to whom he said he had given the pictures. He assured the Faculty that Mr. Harper could not by any possible way have had the pictures during the time they were lent to him, he declared also that he had nothing to do with their exhibition at the Female academy, whereupon the Faculty passed the following resolutions
Resolved That Grant of the sophomore class for exhibiting to his fellow students a series of obscene & lascivious pictures & for prevaricating in regard to them be dismissed from college
Resolved that Gray of the sophomore class for owning & exhibiting to his fellow students the same pictures be dismissed from college
Resolved that Lumpkin an irregular member of college for making himself responsible for the possession of these pictures during the time when they were exhibited in town be dismissed from college.

May 5th Wiley & Anderson of the Senior class were brought before the Faculty for having been engaged in a quarrel which led to blows. It appeared that in the heat of debate Wiley had spoken of some opinions of Anderson as false statements, whereupon Anderson had asked if Wiley disputed his word. Wiley had in reply evaded Andersons question & repeated his former remarks. Anderson had then struck him a blow but the affray was hindered from proceeding further by the interference of bystanders. The Faculty not being able to decide where exactly the blame of beginning the affray had commenced, resolved to proceed no further in the investigation especially as the parties had made friends simply by mutual explanations. May 9th The Faculty met this morning to inquire into a very serious disturbance on Saturday night last in which the college had been
disturbed for nearly two hours with loud & disorderly noise, with music on drums & violins in the campus, with drinking dancing & swearing by a large number of the students, & finally with the throwing of stones at the officer who had attempted to restrain the riot.
A large number of the students were called before the Faculty & a:fter examining into the matter through both forenoon & af'ternoon, the faculty adjourned till tomorrow. May 10th The Faculty continued the investigation commenced yesterday.
It was discovered that Anderson of the senior class who was already on Probation had made some of the noise & had been drummer much of the time during the disturbance, he therefore was dismissed.
Bartlett of the sophomore class was found to have been one of the disturbers, had made some noise, had probably joined in the swearing & dancing & had drunk so freely of the spirits that he was dangerously sick during the night--whereupon he also was dismissed.
Russell of the sophomore class had drunk very freely, had joined in the noise & in the swearing & had played on a small drum part of the time--whereupon he also was dismissed.
Wiley of the Junior class denied having made any noise or having carted any of the liquor, but as he was in the riot from beginning to end, had known beforehand of the intention of buying some spirits, had been a prominent talker & actor in the excitement which had preceeded the disturbance, the Faculty resolved that his guardian should be requested to withdraw him from college. The Faculty then adjourned till to morrow
May 11 When the Faculty were proceeding to consider the cases of

others who had been engaged in the riot on Saturday, Judge Dougherty
one of the Prudential committee, called on the President & enquired
if he or the Faculty would regard it as any interference with their
duties if the citizens of town would present a petition to them in
regard to the rioters on Saturday. He was told that it would not be
regarded as an interference & the Faculty then adjourned till to
morrow.
May 12 The petition of several members of the Prudential committee was presented this morning. It expressed the opinion that order would be restored to the college, & that good feeling would be excited in the students if the Faculty would suspend their action on the remaining offenders on Saturday--& requested the Faculty, if they did not think the interests of the college would suffer by the course proposed, to grant a general amnesty to the rest
of the offenders.
Whereupon The Faculty resolved that altho the petitioners professed to come before the Faculty only as citizens of the
town yet as they were all Trustees of the college & bound therefore to consult its best interests they ought to command from the Faculty much respect to their opinions And whereas the most guilty of the rioters have already been punished--Therefore Resolved that we proceed no further at present in the examination & punishment of the offenders in the riot of Saturday night last.
May 27th Mr. La.Roche of the Junior class was reported to the Faculty for having made a noise in college by throwing about some chairs in the passage, but as he disclaimed having any intention of producing any disturbance he was only admonished to be more careful for the future

28th Mr. Lee having resigned his place in the Faculty it became necessary to distrubute his classes among the rest of the Faculty. Whereupon, His Latin recitation was transferred to Prof. McCay & his two Greek recitations to Prof. Lehman Prof Jackson & Prof. Waddel having each taken one of Prof, Lehmans recitations.
June 3d Bartlett applied for readmission to college, but his application after some time spent in considering the matter was laid on the table

Some disorder having occurred early in the evening, the President had gone out to suppress it but was driven back by stones & brickbats--the noise having increased towards 11 or 12 oclock--the President sent for Prof. McCay & on his coming up to college they went out to find some of the rioters. Hearing some one in the entry of the old college Prof. M. went to the door & as he was rising the steps he was struck in the face by a brickbat. He was knocked down the steps & as he rose he was surrounded with four other students who assaulted him with stones. He was struck in the body by one of these but only by one, & all then retreated to the woods. The person who had first struck Prof. M. ran back to the other end of the entry & there met Dr. Church. As he ran against him both fell together but the student escaped from the Drs. hold & got off. The rooms were now visited & seven persons were found out--Alexander Fannin Love Moseley Orr & Wright of the Junior class & Norris of the Sophomore class. Alexander immediately g&ve an account of himself--But on calling the rest up they stated that they had gone to bathe & knew nothing of the affray. Faculty adjourned,
