president as Tar as they are Ineligible, are re.
durlb,e To four:
Isl. That he has enforced the Statutes al

monty over the other Professors, although
bound so la do by his oath and duty.

certainly would prosper.

sent visitors of Wn. & Mary, as evidenced by
Their late expose, SO highly eulogsed by Alum

In reference to the 1st charge, Alumnus, il

The suggestion that the President has often
manifested an unbecoming impatience to dis
patch his lectures, in order TO engage i'm his
favoriie amusement, is believed To be with
out foundation. Those, who have the plea
sure OF knowing that gentleman, know very
