W. E. Yongue of the sophomore Class appeared before the Faculty. On the 12 Mr Yongue with some others created much disturbance at his boarding house (Franklin House) by throwing food about the room & at his fellow-boarders. After dinner he was spoken to on the subject by Mr Barret the book-keeper, and advised to go elsewhere to board. In the evening Mr Yongue with several other students went down to supper, as usual. Just before supper they talked together of the possibility of a fracas in the supper room. Mr Yongue remarked that Mr Mitchell (the son of the Proprietor) had better look out for he (Yongue) had a

(31) pistol. This may have been a mere threat, to intimidate Mr Mitchell. The same scenes were repeated at supper which was described as having occurred at dinner. The disturbance & confusion was even much greater. The offence at supper was also aggravated by the fact that a Lady Miss Mitchell was presiding at the table. On coming out of the supper room Mr Yongue was accosted by Mr Mitchell, who demanded of him why he acted
33

in this way and at the same time told him that he must look out some other boarding house. Yongue admits that Mr Mitchell did not curse him nor use abusive language. Yet he (Yongue} immediately took a cane from one of his fellow students and struck Mr Mitchell violently. A fight ensued.
The case was so plain that Mr Yongue was dismissed without any discussion

Peek, Tate, Norton, & Irby of the Soph Class & Torrance of the Junior Class cited to appear before the Faculty. On Saturday night last (15th) about 10 1/2 p.m. the officers disturbed by the ringing of the bell. One of the tutors went to the chapel and found about 20 students engaged in the disturbance. He politely asked them to go to their rooms but the rioters answered him by a shower of stones several of which struck him. He approached nearer and repeated the request but was told that if he did not retire they would "knock him down." He then went to his room to get a lantern, but the rioters followed him and broke his windows with stones. He then started for assistance
from other officers they still pursued him and again threw stones at him, one of which passed very near his head. Several of the officers then visited the rooms. And observed the following suspicious circumstances. Peek & Torrance were found in their rooms but they had been absent when the tutor visited an hour before. When questioned Torrance said that he had been in Norton's room. Peek seemed confused but finally said that he had been visiting the ladies and had just returned, & that he had also been in Norton's room. Hall & Potts were found in Norton & Irby's room. Irby was undressed & Norton in bed with
his head covered up. Ta.te was found in bed covered up in the same me.nner on examination his face was found to be blacked. After some time they revisited Norton's room & found Norton up with (some of the Faculty think) his hair brushed very black dirty water was found in his basin. He said however that Mr Tate had just been washing his face in his (Norton's basin). On being asked if any one had been in his room Norton & Irby affirmed that no one had been there. This question was repeated several times and answered in the same way.
On appearing before the Faculty their evidence was contradictory. Norton acknowledged now that Torrance had spent from 2 to 3 hours with him but could not tell whether he was in his room or not when the bell commenced to ring. Torrance says he was with Norton in Norton's room the whole evening untill the bell ceased to ring and the disturbance stopped. Irby says he was absent from his room but returned before the disturbance commenced and that Torrance was not
there at that time.
The evidence was not complete except against Tate

After the examination the President made some rem.arks about the habit of leaving the examination room, and observing that Mr Holsey was talking and apparently not paying attention he asked him why he had stayed out so long. Mr Holsey answered, in a tone which the President thought very disrespectful, "Because I didn't want to."

Mr Stanly of the Senior Class, cited to appear before the Faculty to account for his conduct at a party a few nights before, when it was said he had become intoxicated and had insulted a lady.
Mr Stanly stated that he wished investigation because he knew he would
thus only, be justified. He said that he was not intoxicated, that he
with Mr Chisolm & Mr Barnard drank before starting to the party 1 pint
bottle of champagne so that he had not drank but l/3 of a pint, that he
then went with Mr. Barnard & his wife to the party, that there was no
wine or spirits at the party. About lO or ll o'clock a lady made the
remark to some of her freinds that he (Mr. Stanly} was tipsy. About
an hour af'ter this he (Stanly) heard through some of his friends that the report was going about and spreading that he was tipsy. He was





indignant, and went immediately to the lady & said that the report was utterly false and if she originated it she was laboring under a false impression. The lady then said that she had said so and she still believed it. Mr Stanly replied that it was not true or it was false, or words to that effect. On the next day he (Stanly) feeling that he had been rude to lady wrote an apology to the lady stating he had intended to say merely that the report was false and that the lady was laboring under a false impression, and that he did not intend to insult the lady--he acknowledged that he was rude and was sorry for it.
On being asked if spirits had not been sent for, he said that it had, but was sent for without his knowledge at the time, and had not arrived untill an hour after he had been accused
Mr Barnard confirmed Mr Stanly account in every particular. He stated moreover that not only had he gone over with Mr Stanly but he & his wife had returned with him and had conversed with him frequently during the evening and he felt sure Mr Stanly was not in the slightest degree intoxicated
Mr Chisolm besides confirming in every particular Mr Stanly's account of the matter Stated that he was personally cognizant of the fact that from the time of the drinking of the champagne untill his arrival at the party Mr Stanly was with Mr Barnard & lady, that Mr Stanly did not send for the spirits for it was sent for before Mr Stanly arrived, and the spirits did not arrive "lll1till an hour after the accusation, and lastly that there was no wine or spirits furnished by the host. He stated farther that when he heard the report he went to Stanly with the intention of taking him home but on conversation with him he found him perfectly sober. Lest





he should be mistaken however he got some others to converse with
Mr Stanly and they all confirmed his opinion as to his perfect soberness, that he, Mr Barnard & lady rode home in the same carriage with Mr Stanly and he was not in the least intoxicated.
The evidence being so clear, the faculty immediately dismissed the case.
June 29
Mr Stanly & Mr Dawson of the Sophomore Class were cited to appear before the Faculty to answer for a fight which occurred between them on the morning of the 27th. Mr Stanly stated that there had been
(49) a misunderstanding between himself & Mr James Hull, and that he had heard through Mr Chisolm that the difference could be adjusted--he therefore sent Mr Chisolm to ask Mr Hull to meet him at the College Chapel and explain. The difficulty with Mr Hull was not at all connected with what occurred at the party on the night of the 25. Mr Dawson accompanied Mr Hull without being sent for. After the difficulty with Mr Hull had been arranged to the satisfaction of both parties, Mr Stanly remarked that he had understood that the lady whom he had offended had not received his apology and that her freinds had expressed dissatisfaction with the apology, he wished it therefore distinctly and generally understood that he was ready to give satisfaction to any one who should feel called upon to require. Whereupon Mr Dawson stepped forward and said that he was the lady's friend and that Mr Stanly's conduct to the lady shewed that he was
no gentleman. Upon which they approached each other and connnenced fighting. Upon being asked whether he meant his last remark as a


challenge to Mr Dawson, Mr Stanly replied that he spoke to Mr Hull and not to Mr Dawson, that he meant it as a general challenge but not not specially for Mr Dawson--in fact he had no idea that Mr Dawson wished or intended to take it up
Mr Dawson said that Mr Stanly account was true. He stated moreover that he (Dawson) had left his room with the determination of striking Stanly, That he did not intend to ask any questions or require any explanation, he had understood that Mr Stanly would give satisfaction to any freind of the lady he considered himself her friend, he therefore went with Mr Hull with the express determination of fighting Mr Stanly.
Mr Chisolm confirmed in every particular the statements of the parties concerned. Mr Dawson was fined $10 & Mr Stanly $5

citizen of Athens that he could swear there was but one bullet in the
pistol, he answered that he had examined the spot next day (Friday 23)

ground had glanced and was the same which had entered the parlor, that
he could not possibly know how many bullets were in the pistol. He
did not think he had made the assertion as strong as reported but could not be certain. When asked if the student who had fired the pistol
had not sent an apology to Mr Dent answered that he knew nothing of such apology.

Monday Oct 13th 1856
It was decided this evening that the irregular examination should commence on monday 20th and the regular examinations on Thursday 23rd. The preamble and resolutions offerred by Prof Venable were ta.ken up and passed, Yeas, Prof Venable Brown Waddel & Leconte and tutors Park & Waddel, Nays Dr Church & Prof Brantly, Prof Brantly expressed his entire approval of the resolutions but objected to the preamable. This note is introduced by wish of the Faculty expressed by unanimous vote. The preamble and resolutions thus passed a.re as follows.
The Faculty of Franklin College having officially received the following resolution of the board of trustees, To wit Resolved that the grade of Scholarship in the College Should not be determined by the proficiency of the Student in Mathematics or in any other one department of Science; but on the contrary it is the judgement of the Board, and it so directs, that Should a student occupy a respectable or average Standing in his Studies generally, be diligent in his studies punctual in the discharge of his duties and of good deportment that he shall be entitled to rise with his class, and to his degree at the end of his college course, notwithstanding he may fall below any fixed or even medium standing in Mathematics or any other one branch of Science; and the grade of Scholarship should be determined by the whole Faculty, each exercising his in dependent judgement in the premises," would beg leave respectfully to present the following reasons for beleiving, that it is injurious in its effects upon the Institution.

They beleive that the resolution is construed by the public generally to be a determination on the part of the Trustees to lower the Standard of Scholarship in the College. This misconstruction on the part of the public will tend (if it has not already done so) to degrade the rank
(75) of the Institution Sll10ng the Universities of the South, and there by injure its usefulness and prosperity. The Students also regard the resolution in the manner, and it is the Candid opinion of some of the Faculty, that it has already very Sensibly diminished the amount of Study done in Several important departments. It is construed to have especial reference to the department of Mathematics; and to be a privelege granted by the Board to allow a student to neglect that important Study and Still to maintain his rank in his class. Under the action of the Board the department of Mathematics with its kindred branches of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy & Civil Engineering occupies a very large part of the Students attention embracing actually .than. third of his whole collegiate Studies of four years. A due acquaintance with the elements of Mathematics, is eminently necessary as a means of mental discipline and absolutely requisite to comprehend at all the kindred Subjects of the higher classes. If then Students are permitted to Slur over their Mathematical Studies in the Freshman and Sophomore years, they either will fail utterly to comprehend the related Subjects pursued in the higher classes and then pass through College having failed in a great degree of the object of education; or in entering upon the Studies of the Junior Year will be found deficient in two Sciences, and hence unable to proceed with their Class.
The Faculty are well aware that the board did not design that the


resolution should produce the effect which it has, but are constrained to beleive that the effect bas already been injurious to the rank of the Institution and its Scholastic discipline and that it will become much more so, if permitted to remain unrepealed. They are firmly convinced that the first great requisite in every Institution of Learning is mental discipline, and that no moral discipline can exist in any degree where mental is not rigidly enforced, Their only desire in insisting upon this prime requisite, mental discipline, is to maintain the rank of Franklin College at a rightful position among the universities of the South, and to promote to the best of their ability the cause of Sound learning in the State of Georgia. But in no case is it their desire to act Sternly or harshly towards any student who makes honest endeavors to do his duty nor to judge his Scholarship by his deficiency in any one department, but by his general standing in all his studies. In reference to the last part of the resolution the Faculty beg leave respectfully to state, that they have always decided after the manner dictated by the board, "each member exercising his independent judgement"
In view of the above considerations therefore Resolved 1st That Faculty of Franklin College do earnestly and respectfully petition the Board of Trustees to repeal the above resolution passed in August last. Resolved that this petition be laid before the trustees at their meeting to be held at their next meeting to be held 15th Oct inst Yeas & Nays as stated above.
Oct Tuesday 14th
A letter was read from B Fontaine who left College last August at the end of the Soph year asking for a dismission without censure. The

Friday 17th

At that instant, all students not sitting in their seats are to be marked absent or tardy by the officer to whom they are to recite in
the morning or to whom they have recited in the evening.

Calling of the roll. The action was unanymous
Thursday Feb 5th Faculty met in the Chapel after prayers. All present. Mssrs Cleghorn & Pitts members of the Freshman Class were detained to answer to a charge of disorder on two nights previous.

do so) where he met Mr Steele & Cleghorn and that he went with them in to Mr Steeles room where the Tutor Mr Wash found him, Mr. Wash says he was attracted to the room by the boistrous noise that proceeded from it. This was after midnight.
After Messrs Cleghorn & Pitts retired the Faculty agreed not to decide
upon their case until until they had heard Mr Steele. On motion

Friday Feb 6th
Mr Steele was detained after prayers to answer for the disorder in his room on the night of the 3rd. He acknowledged that he was out of his room until a late hour at night. He supposed it was about 1 o clock when he returned, that feeling sick he went down stairs and met Mr Pitts who attempted to pull him up Stairs, whereupon he broke loose and ran which accounted for the noise below reported by the Tutor. That when Mr Wash knocked at his door he did use some rough language, supposing it to be his roommate Mr Paterson, but that he immediately apologised as soon as he discovered his mistake. Mr Wash said the language was "go to Hell." Mr Steele said he did nothing but take supper with a friend who was rooming in an office. After Mr Steele retired, the Faculty being convinced from the report
(81) of Mr Steele and Cleghorn that they were both intoxicated, on motion decided unanimously to dismiss Mr Steele (a member of the Senior Class) who had been hitherto very disorderly, and whose example and influence was considered highly injurious to the College, 2nd That the President notify Mr Steele of his dismission on tomorrow and the Secretary write to his father immediately advising of the action of the Faculty.


91
It was decided that inasmuch as Messrs Cleghorn and Pitts were both young a.nd had only been in College a few months, the former be fined $5 and his father notified that a repetition of the like offence would sever his son's connection with the College. As Mr Pitts was not heard to swear nor did it appear that he was out of the College grounds after midnight, it was determined that the Secretary write to his father and warn him that his son was in danger of being dismissed. Mr Paterson was charged with being out of his room nearly all night, But not being present his case was delayed. On motion adjourned

a.mend. All the bfficers to whom he recited were urged to call upon him daily to recite.
Wednesday Feb 11th Mr Womack of the Freshman Class was detained to answer to the charge of being drunk. He acknowledged the fact and promised to abstain in future altogether from Spirituous liquors.

(83) Wednes Thursday 19th Feb The tutor Mr Wash reported to the Faculty at morning prayers that

a company of students about one o clock last night made an assault upon his windows with rocks, having first tied his door outside with a rope. He cut the rope and went down into their midst, whereupon all fled, he supposed about a dozen. He pursued them into the Old College building and observed the rooms into which many ran and came upon Mr Cleghorn who was unable to get through the door. He reported the names of 5 others upon whom there rested strong suspicion. The damage upon the building was considerable. It being a holy day, the aniversary of the Demosthenian Society it was decided that the matter be delaid until tomorrow.
Friday evening Feb 20th
The matter of yesterday's meeting was resumed. On motion Mr Cleghorn was dismissed and the President requested to notify him immediately that he must leave the College building. The Faculty thought it best to delay the cases of the other 5 who are implicated in the Charge of rocking Mr Wash's room.
The Secretary would here state that when the father of Mr Cleghorn received his letter requiring him to take his son home, he & Mrs Cleghorn came immediately to Athens and importuned the Faculty through the President to give their son one more trial. The Faculty agreed to do so with the promise that he would be attentive to all his duties in future. Having so soon been detected in wrong it was thought best to send him off as promptly as possible (See record of the 9th)
Tuesday Feb 24th 1857 After prayers the Faculty discussed the case of Mr Womack who was supposed to have been engaged in rocking the Tutors windows. It was

agreed to request the President to converse with Mr Womack and get all the facts he could in the matter. Mr Wash having reported Mr Dennis for having misbehaved in the recitation room, shewing as he supposed great disrespect, the President was also requested to talk with Mr Dennis.
Wednesday Feb 25th
The President reported that he had conversed with Mr Dennis on the subject of Mr Wash's charge of dis respect. That Mr Dennis disavowed any intention of being disrespectful. Agreed to pass the subject without further notice.
Next Mr Womack was reported to have said in answer to question from the President that he was out on a serenade on the night the rocking took place but that he returned some time before the attack was made--was asleep at the time and know nothing of the affair. It appeared on the other hand from evidence which Mr Wash adduced that Mr Womack returned only a few moments before the attack was made, that he had talked of the matter as being intended, that when Mr Wash pursued the party, Mr Womack's door was heard to slam and the key found outside, that finally his statements were equivocal. On motion it was agreed unanimously that the Secretary write to his father to take him away immediately. This was thought the proper course because there was no doubt but that he was a party to the attack on Mr Wash's room and because having been detected a short time before drunk and put upon strict probation with a pledge to observe every law of College.


(85) Thursday March 5th 1857 The President reported that Mr Hogan of the Senior Class had frequently been into the Billiard room; but that in a conversation with Mr H he insisted that there was no law in the Code against it, and therefore he did not think he was doing wrong. The Faculty decided unanimously that it should hereafter be considered a violation of the Spirit of the laws of College and an offence for which a student would be dismissed. It was also decided that the President announce the decision of the Faculty to the Students when collected in the Chapel on tomorrow. Mr Bacon of the Sophomore Class requested that he be permitted to move from his room in Old College to a vacant one in New College, and Mr Pitts of the Freshman Class and Mr Paterson of the Sophomore Class requested that they be permitted to room together.

Mr Sullivan of the Sophomore Class desired a dismission but was informed that he must exhibit a letter allowing him to do so. Mr Young of the Same Class exhibited a letter from his father directing him to come home on account of his eyes. The President gave him an honorable dismission.
(89) 1857 April 21st The Faculty met at the Presidents Study to make up the average standing of each Student in the Freshman, Sophomore & Junior classes. It was ascertained that there had been errors in marking absentees. This was supposed to have arisen from two officers marking the same class on the same occasion. On motion agreed that hereafter a particular officer should mark or notice absentees of a particular class, and that in the absence of the officer some other officer would act as alternate. Prof Rutherford to mark the Seniors, Dr Church Al temate. Prof Easter the Juniors, Mr Wash Alternate. Prof Mell the Sophomores Mr Wash Alternate.

100
It having been suggested by the general consent of the Faculty that the Secretary converse with Mrs Jordan instead of writing he judged under all the circumstances it be best to make a personal appeal to Mr Jordan himself believing that such an appeal would accomplish more than any other course and save the anxiety which his mother would otherwise
feel. The appeal was made and the Secretary reported that Mr Jordan received it kindly, said in extenuation that his mother was in very bad health and that he was frequently obliged to be up during the
night and thereby lost so much sleep that he in consequence missed morning prayers and recitations. The matter was permitted to pass without further notice than to require him to be examined privately on the SUbjects which had been omitted by such irregularities.

It was decided that the rule against selecting and changing rooms should be adhered to
May 14th
Mr Russel of the Sophomore Class with whom Mr Allan had the rencontre

was detained before the Faculty to give an account of the part he had
taken in the affair. It appeared from his own statements and from the
representations of citizens who witnessed the rencontre that Mr Russel
acted principally in self defence. It having been charged that Mr
(91) Russel used profane language during the excitement, the President was requested to admonish Mr Russel in private on the subject of swearing and urge upon him the importance of avoiding as -much as possible all such scenes. Mr Hogan at the request of the President was permitted to draw for a room May 19th Mr Arnold of the Freshman Class was permitted to move from his boarding house into the College in order to accommodate Mrs Moore who wished to have his room other wise occupied. The request was granted. May 20th Mr Alonzo Freeman was reported to have been seen drunk in the streets and to have been very profane and obscene in his language, and obtrusive at a tavern where he did not board. These facts taken in connection with the fact that his conduct in many respects had been very improper convinced the Faculty that the interest of the Institution required the he should leave the College. The Secretary was directed to write to his father to take him away immediately. May 26th Mr Freeman's father came to Athens after receiving the Secretary's letter and had a free interview with the President. He manifested an excellent Spirit and sustained the action of the Faculty. Having expressed a desire to the President that the Faculty would give





his son another trial, the President promised to consult the Faculty on the subject.
May 27th The Faculty met in the Library. The subject of giving Alonzo Freeman another trial was discussed. The President said he had talked very freely with the young man and he had promised to quit all his bad conduct and strive to do his duty in every respect; His manner evinced so much concern and sincerity that the President was convinced that it would be safe to give him another trial. The Faculty agreed that he should be permitted to remain if he would pledge himself to cease entirely all annoyances, and give assurances that he would remain with out any unkind feeling towards any member of the Board.
May 28th
The Recording Secretary reported the names of Messrs Ricks, Paterson, Smith, Stewart & Snipes of the Sophomore and Augustus Jordan of the Senior Class as having an undue number of marks against them for the last fortnight.

June 1st The Secretary reported that he had taken the responsibility of making a personal appeal to Mr Jordan of the Senior Class on the subject of his irregularities, instead of conversing with his mother, He said his mother was in bad health and for the last fortnight he was obliged


to be up frequently during the night to attend to her wants and on such occasions he failed to attend morning prayers and recitations.
( 93) The excuse was accepted. Mr Jones of the Freshman class stated several days ago to a member of the Faculty that his father had written for him to return home and requested an honorable dismission. The Secretary was directed to write one and send it to his father. June 10th Mr Oliver of the Junior and Mr Harris of the Senior class was fined $1 each for sitting during prayers and otherwise being disorderly. June 18th Messrs George Smith and J Stewart of the Sophomore Class were detected in very disorderly conduct during prayers and were fined $1 each.

June 22nd Mr Paterson asked permission to change his room as he found it unpleasant to remain longer with his roommate. It was agreed to allow him to take the only remaining room in New College. June 23rd Mr Paterson stated to the Faculty that he had no furniture and requested to be permitted to go into Mr Bacon's room. He was permitted to do so. June 24th Mr A Freeman was detained before the Faculty to say why had failed to speak on three evenings when he was expected to do so. He said he did not mean any disrespect to the Faculty by leaving the
Chapel in the manner he did but not knowing his speech he left and in
the peculiar manner (of which complaint was made) to "fool the boys"
He was reminded of his promise when the Faculty agreed to receive him
back into the College. It was decided that this should be his last
warning.
June 26th The examination of the Senior Class being over Faculty met at the Presidents to discuss questions preliminary to the appointments to be made for Commencement exercises.

a late hour, That he did on three successive times leave the Chapel when he should have Spoken, in such a manner as to create disorder by making the impression upon the minds of the Students that he intended to ascend the stage. When called upon by the Faculty to say why he did so, he said his design was to "fool the students" (or words to the same amount). That he had been disorderly in the College Building during Study hours after repeated warnings. That he had spoken disrespectfully to the President during a recitation. (The President requesting the Secretary to remark that he had reported this fact to the Faculty because he had told Mr Freeman he would and not to have it as a charge against him). That he was scarcely ever in his room during study hours and had failed at several recitations recently, evidently because he had not studied the lessons, that this was an unusual thing with him. (See record of May 27th) The Secretary would state that Mr. Freeman acknowledged to him after his dismission that he had not studied a lesson for a fortnight. Mr Stewarts guardian in a letter recently received requested to be notified if he continued unmanageable so that he might take him a.way.
(See record of May 28th) The Faculty believing that there was no prospect of improvement requested the President to advise him to go home according to the request of his guardian.
(97) July 17th Mr Joseph Stewart conversed freely with several members of the Faculty and requested that they would give him another trial. The matter was brought up and discussed. In the opinion of the Faculty he was a victim and not a leader and therefore it would be safe to give him a further trial. The President was requested to inform him that he would


be permitted to remain upon condition that he should attend diligently to all his College duties and abstain from all unlawf'ul. acts

It was stated that Mr Paterson went into the Hotel without a mask and asked the Bar keeper where Mr Crawford was--that there were some gentlemen at the door who wished to see him. A motion was made to dismiss Mr Paterson, but was modified by a motion to write to his grand father to take him away from College.

present. Mr Russell said he was invited to go down to the grove where he met a young man with a sheet thrown over him. He stepped up and took the sheet from the young man, whereupon he got into a scuffle. He had no bad feeling, He declined giving testimony as to who were with him.
Mr Murphy testified that he went down to the grove when he heard the
noise made by those who had previously gone down. Shortly after he
got there the scuffle became "so tight" that the parties scuffling
(103) became excited and struck each other. He parted those engaged. Heesays he did not swear, thinks there was some swearing but not much.eMr Dennis says he was in bed when he heard the noise.

Sept 10th Mr Dennis of the Sophomore class requested to be permitted to move into Mr Raglands room. The Faculty agreed to let the President control the matter according to his best judgement as he was his relation. Mr Lemar Cobb of the junior Class wished to know his general mark, as he did not think his father would get his circular and consequently he feared he would not have it returned to him,
It was agreed that the rule which had prevailed with regard to sending circulars to parents should be adhered to--that if after waiting a

113
reasonable time he had failed to have the circular returned to him, his mark might be given to him.
Mr Paterson's case which was laid over, was called up. It was thought best to leave the matter in an unsettled condition, and that the President be requested to inform him that if any further difficulty occurred growing out of the affair at the Newton House he would be sent off.

It was moved to fine Mr Mitchell $5 and write to his father. As Mr Murphy dissuaded Messrs Vason & Mitchell from making a noise it was thought that he should not be punished. Mr Vason's father having been written to twice on the subject of Swearing and not having the minutes of the Faculty meetings at hand it was decided to lay his case over until tomorrow.

They did not deny the charge. Not being able to see the other parties the subject

was deferred for further development. The case of Mr Paterson of the Junior Class was taken up. It appeared that he had assaulted Mr James Hull a citizen of the town under the following circumstances. Paterson had gone out hunting in company with a negro of Mr A Hull '3.t night. During the hunt a difficulty arose between Paterson and the negro when he attempted to chastise the negro, who offerred such resistance as to ca.use him to desist and refer the matter to the owner A Hull and demand that the negro should be whipped. Mr Hull did whip the negro and Mr Paterson was supposed to be satisfied. Af'ter this occurrence Mr James Hull, son of A Hull while conversing with his relation Tutor Waddel on the subject during a ride along the street, remarked that "any man who would hunt with a negro and take exception at anything he did and then use his privelege as a white man to whip the negro was no gentleman." The remark was over heard by some one who reported it to Mr Paterson. The next day Mr Hull was sitting in a buggy unarmed in the street when Mr Paterson stepped up to him with a stick and asked if he had ma.de the offensive remark? Mr Hull answered he had, Whereupon Mr P struck him two licks with his stick and a third a.s Mr Hull attempted to jump out which brought him to the ground. Mr Hull recovered and succeeded in getting possession of the stick at which time by the interfere.nee of some one the matter was stopped. A warrant was taken out against Mr Paterson which he evaded by making his escape from the officer, having asserted that he would not be taken. All the circumstances were such as to satisfy every member of the Faculty that Mr Paterson should be expelled, The Secretary was directed to inform Mr Patersons grandfather of the action of the Faculty and relate to him the facts as above stated.

(107) directed to enter this decision on Mr Russell's circular and also to notify Mr Augustus Arnold's father that his son could not go on with the Sophomore Class. It was agreed that as Mr Colchough had been so short a time here that he should have more time given him to get in full standing in the Freshman Class.

This attack of illness prevented the Faculty from sending him away immediately. After his recovery a bottle of Spirituous
liquor was found in his room and several other bottles which had the remains of the same kind of liquor in them, After this he was present, abetting a classmate in study hours while he 1nade a violent assault upon a citizen of the town, and went over to the depot with him while making his escape from an officer.

probation in Mathematics was discussed. It was agreed unanymously
that it was inexpedient to go so far as was suggested last night; but

a precedent.

There was found to be so little difference between these and two or three others who fell a fraction below, that it was suggested that the Faculty appoint an additional Number. Not thinking it prudent to alter the usual number, the Faculty requested the President to call the Prudential CoIIllllittee together and advise with them as to the propriety of allowing the whole class to speak; as there were 15 out of 17 who were more than ordinarily good scholars--the lowest average of the 15 being 91, Added to this they were young men
of excellent moral character, The President requested that one member (119)of the Faculty be be appointed to go with him before the Prudential
Committee. On Motion Prof Rutherford was appointed.
June 21st

Rutherford had with the Prudential Committee.

to speak as the circumstances seemed to be peculiar. It was expressly
stated that it could not be quoted hereafter as a precedent, by which
appointments were to be made in succeeding classes.
On motion agreed to allow all of the regular students (17 in number)
to speak on Tuesday of Commencement week, and that there should be two
exhibitions, one on Tuesday morning and the other either in the

afternoon or at night as circumstances might make the most advisable,
June 25th
Faculty met in the Library for the purpose of making the senior appointments. There being only 13 regular students in the Class, on motion resolved that all be permitted to speak.
On Motion resolved that the Faculty vote for those who should share the different honors out of 5 members of the class whose average standing was so near each other that it was difficult to decide between them,
Messrs R Humber & William H Pritchitt were appointed to the 1st honor. Mr R W Adams appointed to the 2nd Honor and being the best speaker of those appointed by a resolution of the Board of Trustees he was given the Valedictory. Messrs AP Hodo and J M Oliver were appointed to the 3rd Honor. The 4th Honor was dispensed with as so many had shared the 3 higher honors. Mr Pritchett was appointed to deliver the Salutatory which should be
in Latin or English as Mr Pritchett might prefer. Agreed to limit the Valedictory to 18 minutes. The Salutatory to 12 and the other speeches to 8 minutes each.
Messrs Ragland & Banks left for home with the understanding that they must return and speak if the Faculty thought it necessary.
July 1st
Mr TC Billups (Irregular) was observed to throw a card on the floor
of the Chapel as he entered the door before taking his seat,
He was taken before the Faculty and acknowledged he did, but could give

no good reason for doing so. As he had been very orderly hitherto it was thought best to do no more than reprove him and leave him in suspense. The case was indefinitely postponed.
Mr Oliver requested to be excused from speaking at connnencement as he wished to go home, having learned through his father that his mother was sick and wished him to return. The distance being so great he did not wish to return to Athens. The Faculty were unwilling to say, that he should be excused from returning if in his power as others might seek to be excused.

discussed. The fact was stated that 20 or 25 persons were out on Saturday last disguised fantastically, many of whom were supposed to have been students. This being a repetition of the offense, large number having been out on monday previous, and that too after the President had spoken to the Sophomore Class on Saturday morning it was thought that the evil should be checked. The matter was calmly discussed. The fact that no notice had been taken of such Exhibitions for the last 5 or 6 years, made the Faculty unwilling to resort to severe measures on the present occasion especially as some of the Sophomore Class are understood to have said that they only took the Presidents talk as merely advisory. The Students moreover having been remarkably orderly during the year it was resolved that no p.unishment
should be inflicted for the past but that the President be requested
to announce to the students that all fantastic exhibition were unlawful
and that they would be expected to abstain from every thing of the
kind in future.

He followed some who entered Mr Mongin's room on the first floor and there found Messrs Anderson Pitts and Tankersly. Mr Anderson said he would make no more noise. Mr Tankersly spoke disrespectfully and impudently. As he retired he heard one propose to rock Bill Wash's room. Mr Anderson said he would have nothing to do with it for Mr Wash had always treated him as a gentleman. About half past eight o clock several Students collected near the privy, singing obscene songs and using profane language. As he (Mr Wash) approached one of the company called attention to his approach and another of the company remarked
(123) "d-m him he better not come here." He however approached Still nearer when all ran below the privy. He returned and visited the rooms and found the following young men absent
Lane, Nunnally, Roberts and Thompson of the Senior Class. Cline, Hubert, Mitchell, Murray, Pitts and Tankersly of the Junior Class & Callleron, Fitzpatrick, Mongin, Rush & Whitehead of the Sophomore Class.
A number of these young men had been excused and were surrounded by such circumstances that the Faculty were convinced they were not parties to the disturbance.
Mr Wash stated that so far as he could judge in the dark, he was

satisfied that Pitts, Tankersly, Murray, Fitzpatrick, Cameron, Mongin
& Hubert were engaged in the riot. He proposed that these should be examined privately and that the following questions be put to each. Where were you at half past 8? From what room did you go? Who were with you? Were you with Mr Lane, and so go through with the names of all those found absent from their rooms? Where did you go? Who were with you there?

Wednesday Oct 26th
Faculty met at the President's--made out circulars for the Sophomore

Class. The roll of the various classes was called and the question asked what shall be done with each member.
Messrs Lane & D S Mitchell having done so little in their Studies, it was agreed to write on their Circulars, that they had not done as well as they they could. Each were fined one dollar for failing to write compositions.
Resolved that a note be put on A Dent's circular that he has not done as well as he ought. Say to Atkinson's father that his son would be reexamined on Mathematics at the beginning of the next term and unless he sustains a better stand he cannot be permitted to rise with his class in August next. Say to Mrs Hayes that her son Samuel must by examined on all his studies at the beginning of next term and unless he stands a satisfactory examination he will not be permitted to go on with the Class.

After full discussion it was unanimously decided that the Secretary inform the Father of J H Patrick the cannot go on in College owing to his great deficiencies. Also that the Secretary advise the the parents
(125) of A Nance and James Thomas to put them at a preparatory School for they are so badly prepared that the Faculty beleive it to be impossible for them to be prepared to rise Sophomore next August.
The cases of those young men who were engaged in the riotous conduct

on the 8th inst were taken up.
The investigation conducted according to the plan proposed in the record of the 9th resulted in convicting the following persons of participating in the disorder. viz James Hubert, T Murray W Pitts & H Tankersly of the Junior Class and T Cameron & H C Fitzpatrick of the Sophomore Class. On motion after much discussion it was decided that W Pitts' Father be informed that his son could not return to the Institution for that he had been engaged in riotous conduct in which
he had set the authority of an officer at defiance and otherwise treating him with disrespect. This taken in connection with the fact that he had been on two previous occasions before the Faculty for violations of the laws of College, it was thought best for him and for the Institution that he should not return. The same notice was given to Mr Fitzpatrick with regard to his son. He was not permitted to return on account of his participation in the above described riot and for general disorderly conduct. On motion the others, to wit, Murray, Tankersley, Hubert & Cameron were fined $10 each and placed upon Strict probation if they returned,

He stated that the room was generally the most disorderly one in college, that a few days before Mr Tankersley threw out a bottle into the Campus which smelled very strongly of Whiskey. The testimony of all the officers was that neither of the young gentlemen were studying in their departments.

(131) all had spoken before the end of the term. Prof Johnston presented the petition of Mr Tankersley, stating that he had received a letter from his father in answer to the request of the Faculty through their secretary to withdraw him from College.

(Note) Prof Rutherford was excepted only in his interview with Mr Wash,
Signed,--R. A. Clayton
G. C. Gairdner
F. G. Ford
W. H. Lawson*
*Mr Lawson, stating that he heard what he said relative to the
interview with Mr Wash.
The following preamble and resolution was thereupon proposed, viz. Whereas R. E. Earle, a member of the Senior Class, taking umbrage at
the fact that he failed to obtain a speaker's place at the approaching
Commencement, has made in the presence of the students such demonstra
tions of disrespect to the authorities of the College, as are well
calculated, if not rebuked to bring those authorities into contempt:
and whereas he had diligently reported pretended conversations with

certain College Officers, in which he boasts to have expressed himself to the effect that "there is but one gentleman in the Faculty," and to have uttered other offensive terms and sentiments, one of the officers referred to, testifying that he had had no conversation with him at
(161) all, on the subject, and all the others denying the use by him of such language as he professes, or any that is equivalent: and whereas, by his manner he has seemed to take pains ostentatiously to bring to the notice of the Faculty that he has been making such statements, and manifesting such a spirit, thus making it impossible to treat him with sympathy and forbearance without jeopardizing the future discipline of the College, therefore be it,
Resolved, That R. E. Earle be expelled from the University. which was unanimously adopted.

June 8th Intelligence having been received of the death of Prof. W. D. Wash, it was ordered at a called meeting of the Faculty, held this day, that the following minute be entered on the Journal of the College, viz: William D. Wash, formerly Adjunct Professor of Mathematics in this university, resigned his Professorship in 1861 to enter into the
(171) military service of his country. In this act, he exhibited the same high conviction of right, the same stern obedience to the dictates of a manly spirit, the same earnest devotion to the impulses of a magnanimous heart, which were profound elements of his nature no less than striking traits of his outward character. His active service in the Arrey dates from June 1862, at which time, joining a company of Mississippians (Co F) he became attached to the Cavaltry Squadron under the command of Gen J. H. Morgan. After his capture by the enemy he was imprisoned at Camp Butler, Ill., at which place he died, March 27th 1863. A letter from one of his comrades states that "from the period he joined us at Knoxville, June 1862 to the time of his capture at Bradyville, Tenn., March 1st 1863, he participated in all the trials, hardships and battles of the command. I have often heard it remarked by his comrades that he knew no fear nor have I any hesitation in saying that he was the bravest man I ever saw. He was as cool in battle as if he knew not what was going on. At Cynthiana, Ken., he was ahead

of his command while showers of bullets came thickly around him, one of them ta.king effect in his cartridge box. At Gallatin also he distinguished himself for coolness and bravery. The same letter adds: "I have been intimately acquainted with him and take pleasure in bearing testimony to his Christian integrity, nobleness of purpose and undaunted bravery. Many a time have I heard his full, rich voice in Camp lifted to Heaven in prayer. The high, moral tone of his character won him the respect of all with whom he met. To us, his former colleagues, these words raad as the simple, truthful records of his daily life. We find here the same forgetfulness of personal welfare, the same consecration to purposes dearer than self and holier than life, the same martyr-like loyalty, which have so often awakened our admiration. No man whom we have known had deeper springs of action; no one, a firmer trust in the self-sufficingness of principle to form a consistent and heroic character. But his crowning excellence was the simplicity, fulness, force of his religious spirit, in which born of the spirit of God and fed in watchful nurture by all of the offices of Christian duty, gave to his life that directness of purpose, that unity of thought, feeling and action, that subordination of self to the cross of Christ which early matured it for the fellowship of a
better world.

Report of Comittee upon
Applied Science.

The Committee appointed to report upon the means necessary to develop the Departments of Applied Science in the University, do respectfully report that there is already organized (I) The Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering and there exists (II) the Department of


Agriculture, but not t'ully developed. To furnish such opportunities
to our young men as are elsewhere offered and as should be offered at
a State University, it is deemed essential that there should be established (III) The Department of Commerce and (IV) The Department of Applied Chemistry.
(217)e(2) To give due prominence to the Department of Agriculture and toe
perfect it's organization, there is needed (a) a model-room, with alle
of the improved mdern Agricultural implements adapted to use in thee
South (b) a working Chemical Laboratory in which practical exercisese
in the .Analysis of Fertilizers &c may be given {c) an Experimentale
Farm for the purpose of conducting scientific investigations, and ofe
teaching by practical illustrations the manner in which thesee
investigations should be madee
(3)
The Department of Commerce should include those studies which areeembraced in the subjoined schedule of the Commercial Course.

(4)e
The Department of Applied Chemistry should embrace (a) practicalework in the Laboratory, with exercises in Qualitative and Quantitative .Analysis (b) Working of Mines (c) Manufacture of Iron, Steel &c

(d)e
analysis of minerals, ores &c (e) Chemical Technology; theemanufacture of acids, alkalies, salts, glass, pottery, dyes, drugs, leather &c

(5)
The Scientific Departments as at present organized, constitute theefoundation of all teaching in applied Science and hence it is of the first importance that they should be provided with the requisite modern apparatus, such as required to teach modern science. To furnish the apparatus and mod.els needed at the present time there is required for the Department of Natural Philosophy $30.000


, .
II II Chemistry s25.ooo
II II
Civil Engineering s 5.000 and with a due expansion of the University there would be required in a few years even larger expenditures
{6) But a more urgent necessity is that of an annual appropriation to purchase M:>dern Scientific works. The meagre collection of modern Scientific books at present contained in the Library is unworthy of the University. An annual appropriation of $300 is the minimum required for this purpose.
(7)
The Department of Practical Astronoicy" is unprovided for. At present the demand for such a Department is not pressing; but an Institution occupying the position of the State University should establish an Observatory as soon as possible; otherwise it is incomplete.

(8)
Your Committee would also call attention to the advantages resulting to young men in their physical education from a wellorganized Gymnasium. An attractive Gymnasium would greatly promote health, physical development and good discipline.

(9)
It is therefore recommend that a schedule of Study in these various Departments be adopted, the duties to be distributed among the several Professors at present engaged, until provision may be made, by the establishment of special professorships, for the further expansion of these Departments.


On m::>tion, this Report was ordered to be printed, and the Schedules above alluded to will be fomd attached to the printed Report.

The Chancellor submitted to the Faculty the following Resolutions relative to the sudden and lamentable death of Prof M. J. Smead. The Resolutions were adopted tmanimously and are as follows: viz: Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to remove from our midst Dr.
M. J. Smead, Prof. of Mod. Lang. in this University, it is hereby ordered that the following Minute be entered on the Record of the Faculty as an expression of the respect and regard cherished for his character and services by his surviving colleagues, viz:
Dr. Smead as the head of a new and difficult Department of the University, had commended himself to our confidence and appreciation
by those qualities, which, while exalting our m::>ral manhood towards its

final ideal, give an additional lustre to the attributes of intellect and the attainments of Scholarship. A retiring man, fond of the cloistering silence of books, devoted to private culture, and finding in the pursuits of literature their own solace and reward, he was yet genial and earnest in every thing that demanded industrious effort, or even enacted painful toil. Into the routine of daily duty, he carried the high integrity of pure aims and generous purposes, mindful always of that supreme aspect of human stewardship which endows the ministry of intellect with interests so great and consequences so inuneasurable. In these duties, he was faithful, zealous, unremitting. Nothing secularized the sanctity of these lofty obligations; nothing impaired the force of their spiritual meaning; nothing sank their dignity in mere formal tasks; but bringing to them an inspiration higher than taste, he discharged all these obligations with a will disciplined as well as animated by motives drawn from christian sentiment.
No one labored harder than he to attain justness of intellect, the last and ripest product of refined and liberal culture. To guard against all exaggerations; to watch even the impassioned fervor of true feelings; to admit all possible qualifications of thought, and rest every truth on the essence of its absolute worth; this was the dominant habit of his mind, which gave his instructions such a clear and unequivocal value.
Such a loss is never compensated; it remains a loss forever. The world has no means at command to fill the void which is made when genius and worth go down into the grave. In the death of Dr. Smead, we are conscious of the loss, which this University has sustained; nor can we doubt, that in its wider reach, .American Culture which now begins to

feel the brotherhood of Tra.ns-atlantic culture, has also suffered. A thoroughly classical mind, laying the basis of a broad and catholic education in those antique modes and forms of thought, which still rule us "from their

In this respect, he was singularly competent to contribute his share of agency to the union of the old and the new; a work, for which, few even among eminent scholars, are fitted.
But this career, so useful, so promising, so full of calm faith in its own eventual achievements, has been suddenly closed in death.
