February, March 1867

Messrs. Cameron and Denny were summoned to answer for disorder in Mr. Nelson's room. The statements of all parties having been heard, it was adjudged that the conduct of these two young gentlemen was highly censurable in committing so flagrant a breach of good order in the recitation room and in the presence of a member of the Faculty, notwithstanding the class had been dismissed at the time. It is a grave aggravation of the offence, in the case of Mr. Denny, that he has been distinctly informed heretofore that his longer continuance as a student in the College depended on his careful avoidance of all ground of offence in the future. And in the case of Mr. Cameron, that he seems either not to perceive the impropriety of the act of disorder complained of, or to be unwilling to make any acknowledgment of regret therefore. It is a further aggravation, in the case of both of them, that, in common with the other students, they have recently, and more than once been demonstrated with, and cautioned in regard to acts of disorder about the College premises.

It was therefore ordered, that these young gentlemen receive a serious admonition in the presence of the Faculty; and that they be distinctly informed that a record of this case will be made on our minutes and that they be now earnestly warned and cautioned against any future branches of the laws of the institution, inasmuch as a repetition of the offence, after this renewed caution, will involve more serious consequences.
