II isas enacted as follows:
II. No person, who has been stu
dent at any other incorporated Semina-

University, but on producing certiii-
cate from such Seminary, or other sa-
tisfactory evidence, to the Faculty,

fence, be liable to any of the minor
punishments, and any repetition of the
offence to any of the major punish
ments.
70. The Faculty shall have the pow
er, for offensive conduct, of remov-
ing the occupant from any dormitory.
IA Although nocturnal absences from
their chambersl occasionally happening,

quent, habitual, or without excusable
cause, they should be also noted, and
reported, with other special Delinquent
cies, to the parent or guardian.
IS. No student snail appear out of
his dormitory masked, or disguised in
any manner Whatever, which may rem
der the recognition of his person more
difficult, on pain Of suspension or ex-
pulson by the Faculty of Professors
76. liza student be irregular in all his
classes, for more than month after his
parent or guardian has been informed,
the Faculty shall have the discretiona-
~ power to dismiss him from the Uni
@versity.
tt The Professors being charged
with the execution of the laws of tue
University, il becomes their duty to pur-
sue proper means TO discover and pre-
vent offences. Respect from the stu
dent to the professor being at all times
due, it is more especially so when the
professor is.engaged in this duty. Such
respect, therefore, is solemnly enjoiued
on every student; and it is declared and
enacted, that, if any student refuse his
name 10 Professor. or, being required
by him to stop, shall fail to do SO. or
shall be guilty of any other disrespect
10 Professor, he shall be liable to any
-of the punishments, MINOR or major.
7s. The Rector and Visitors, impress
ssed themselves with the beneficial effect |
land the necessity of strict examin atoms |,
of the students, on the topics OF the lee |
lures and lessons delivered to them, re.
commended this practice to the cousi- +,
aud attention of the Profess
sors.
10. II is the earnest request and re-
Of the Rector and Visi-
tiers to the Faculty of the Professors of
the University, that, so far as can be
effected by their exertions, they cause
the Statutes, and Rules, enacted for the
government of the University, to be sx-
acty and strictly observed; that tho
roll of each school, particularly, be pune
tually called at the hour at which its stu
dents should attend; that the absent and
the tardy, without reasonable cause be |
noted, and a copy of these notations be
communicated by mail, or otherwise, to
the parent or guardian of each student,
respectively, on the first day of every
month during the term, instead of the
days prescribed in former statute for
such Communications.
80. And it is requested of them to
make kno yn to the students that it is
with great regret that some breaches of
order, committed BY the unworthy few
who Turk among them uakno wn, rem
dered necessary the extension to all, of
processes affecting to the feelings of
those WHO are conscious Of their own
and who are above all par
ticipating in their vicious irregularities.
While the blenders continue unknown,
the tarnish of their faults spreads itself
over the worthy also, and contounds all
in common censure. But that it in
their fower to relieve themselves from
1he imputstions and painful proceedings
20 which they are thereby subjected, by
lending their aid to the faculty on all oc-
-casions, towards detecting the real gull
-ty. The visiters are aware that a pre-
judlce prevails, too extensively among
the young, that it is dishonora5le to bear
witness one against another. While
this prevails, and under the form of
matter Of conscience, they have been
unwilling to authorize constraint, aud
have therefore, in their regulations on
this subject, INDUCED the error, however
unfounded in reason or morality. But
this loose principally in the ethics of
school-boy-com3inations, is unworthy
Of mature and regulated minds; and is
accordingly CONDEMNED bg the laws Of
their copItry, which in Offences within
their cogn;sance, compel those who
