At O'Clock p. IN. some of us had interview with
the President and Prot. Millegan at which time, by
their request, we expressed ourselves candidy yet
freely. They treated the whole matter of little or
no importance, and refused to reason with U.S. saying
We were excited and not capable of reasoning"
At O'Clock above twenty Northern students met at
he house of Mr. Van Buskrk of Indiana, and unani-
pOusy adopted the following resolutions:

Messrs. Foot and Eneel being duly authorized, pre-,
sented these resolutions to the Faculty, and discussed
them for two hours the Faculty continually evading
the points at issue and dwelling upon certain threats
Of mobvioence which We had received through anony-
nous letters and flying reports, to which we, never
attach any importance. They treated the whole mat
Ter a. triAng affair saying that Mr.. B. had made
'his noise the Southern students their noise, and now
"they should quit even, or Mr.. b. should make ac-
acknowledgements to the South" Messrs Foot and
Fneel expressed willingness to abide college laws
but our absolute refusal to submit to the legislation OF
Southern students.
In the lecture on Tuesday morning, American
Slavery was apolOgized for the score OF the fore
ordination of God, and from the fact that from seem
''iDg evil lie is still educing good. We were ex-
hor1d TO return to our classes leaving the entire mat

On that evening after meeting of the Faculty,
prf Mosblech appeared before some of us and urged
flat we submit TO the Faculty at once assuring us that
unless we did so, the Faculty had determined to expel
as all and publish our expulsion in all the leading pa
yers Of the Union thus shutting all college doors
against US forever to whom We replied that we asked
Justice, not mercy.
On Wednesday morning we assembled to hear the
decision of the Faculty with reference to our resou-

Of the Faculty and argued the with single eye

iramphng on College laws that these students were
Young fanatics mot capable of wearing respectable
boards" hat they had never mastered sGgle 81,

humanity &c. He said that certain students had IN;
formed the Faculty on what condition they would
remain in College, and now he would tell them
on what conditions they might remain namely,
tat they Immediately return to their places in their
classes assuring that the Faculty would not grant
our petitions, or do anything further concerning the
matter. :,
Some Of the Northern students, Notwithstanding

resolutions sent in to the Faculty, flew the track and
