WASHINGTON CcELsGg, LSsISaToS, yA.-we have
received from Mr.. James ]. White, clerk Of the
Faculty, copy of the proceedings incident to the
recent disturbances In Washington College, en-
eadying.an authentic statement of the most impor-
tant circumstances of the case II appears that
IN February last, two students were dismissed
from the college for intemperanco and that an ap-
piicaton for their restoration, signed by large
number OF Students was subsequently declined
I'm the night of the 18th Of February, two Profess
sors, on whose report to the Faculty the two stu
dents had been dismissed, were burnt la eifigy in
'front.' OF the college building. Several Of those
engaged In this affair afterwards apoiogized for
their conduct, and In their explanations IL was
uniformly asserted that the demonstrations made
ny the procession and efngy burning, were not in.
tended by any of those participating, to express
feelings OF pcrSonat aie or dsrs3)ect towards the
professors In question. or TO cast any peraoaa in
figHay upon them, but simply 10 exhibit in a con.
spicuons manner, their dlsapprobation Of the Off.
c'at conduct OF these gentlemen in the case Of dis
c.pline above mentioned
on the 10Th Of February, The Faculty resolved
10 dismiss all those who had not voluntarily anal
ogized Tor their conduct, and three were accord
insiy disaiissed. written pledge, dated Febru-
AIRY ilth, signed by forty-five students binding
each other to carry ont the eigy affair, was placed
In the hands of the Faculty on the 1st of March by
some Of those who signed il !; and this was intend.
cd to be understood as their voluntary confession
that they had all participated in the offence for
which three of their number had been dismis.cd.
and we're therefore equally amenable to the pen
aity. Az student is never dismissed upon his
own confession, it was resolved that in case any
action Of censare resulted in departures from the
college the responsibility should be thrown upon
the students and their parents or guardians.
The Faculty declined to reverse their decision in
the case OF the three who had been dismissed
Meanwhile, a large number of those implicated
had ahsenteI themselves from College duties, and
on the 9th of March the following minute WAS
adopted:
"Whereas, some of the students who were en-
ssged in the recent rebellion, have given eviden ce
of continued resistance to College authority, by
neg!ectng their regular duties, until their demer.
It marks have reached the limit fixed by law,
therefore
Rcs0tred, That all such students be and hereby
are dismissed from this institution"
The number dismissed under this last resolution,
was twenty; thus making the whole number dis
missed, in connection with this matter, twenty
five. No interruption whatever to the regular
College exercises has resulted from any of the diff
fculues.
