permission to copy and use "any manuscripts or papers at the

this report be adopted. (The 2 resolutions here referred
to are the last two on the next preceding page of this book) Your Committee on Grounds, Buildings & Boarding Houses
respectfully report. The Board met this morning pursuant to adjournment on
yesterday. Having understood that your Hon. body is still unsatisfied
as to the reconsideration of the resolution adopted with
respect to the School of English, which reconsideration I requested
in my statement already submitted, I have the honor
to request that the matter be laid over until the next annual
meeting of the Board, Within that time your Hon. body can
examine more carefully into the objections made as to the
conduct of the School, & I can have the opportunity of removing
any that in your judgment, may really exist. In the
mean time, I should be obliged for any suggestions as to
change in the course of instruction, which I shall endeavor
to carry out. I have in my statement indicated certain
changes in the position of this school with respect to the
degrees which would greatly benefit the school, if adopted
by your Hon. body. I feel confident, that under such circumstances
all objections would be satisfactorily removed. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

June last. "You will have seen from my letter addressed to you and
the Board on July 2d how gratefully I appreciate the considerate
courtesy with which you have been pleased to treat me
at your last meeting. A trifling accident, however, has
since led me to ask an additional favor at your hands, which
I am sure your keen sense of justice will not deny me. It is
this: In the first copy of the resolutions concerning me,
the Secretary had said. `Your testimonials have removed'.
Subsequently a change was made, so as to make the line read:
`have largely removed,' implying that the impression of inefficiency
on your minds was to a certain degree, still resting
there. This is very grievous to me. I had surely thought
that the testimonials I had laid before you would entirely
remove any such impression. As this has unfortunately not
been done, I think you will not blame me if I most respectfully
request to be informed of the charges brought against
me, and of the persons by whom they are brought forward.
`Audiatur et altera pars' is a rule which seems to apply to
this case also. I have so far abstained from asking any questions,
although this reduced me to act in the dark, and defend
myself against unknown adversaries. But now, I am naturally,
and I hope excusably, anxious to remove those painful impressions
