"A Disastrous

student. : ( .
For several years previous to IN 3,
tie students committed many out-'
Jajres, often attempting to drive
away unpui-uiu.. t,.w..
a.".,- -,n,T often- bv outrages.
LlllCtlU uuv. - ..
The monitor system was adopted
hut the students disliked it and pro
tested against it.. Many of them
were promptly expelled. This action
cooled the' ardor of the digmuits
who begged pardon and after they
had returned home were reinstated.
Such deeds caused the Trustees
to pass inquisi'tortat laws. Archi
bald DeBow. Murphy and Duncan
Cameron were the committee who
drew up. the rule for the govern
ment, of the- University.;
The professors were required to
take an oath. to-, faithfully perform
I their duties.. The monitors were
divert more power.. They could ex
pel any student from the Steward's
Hall dining-room, for loud, talking,,
boisterous, laughter,, for carrying
food from the- tables without per
mission of the steward,, etc.
Any student,, who- wan-disrespectful
to the monitor was to be admon
ished either publicly, or pri vately or
suspended.. The monitor mad..- mi
nute weekly reports to the Faculty..
Upon entering students- were re
quired; to. take an: oath to obey the
taws.. This system was- extremely
unpopular with: the -students.. The.
Trustees-were petitioned to abolish
the restrictions.. Fach student
signing- the' remonstrance bound
himself to-remain true to his princi
ples. The promise- was su Instituted
for the oath but otherwise the rules
were made more stringent.- Thirty
eight then. about half of the' whole
number' of students withdrew.
Their-departure came near proving
disastrous to-the infant institution.
Very few of them ever returned.
President Caldwell' felt very sore
overthu situation, but finally learned
how to manage boys and the system
wu repealed1 iii Decern ber 1 805.
These: measures were passed: im
mediately' after General Davie left
North Carolina,- lit the last public
letter ever ."written by him, he deplores-the
action, hot li of the iVus
tees and faculty, ahd'of the students.
He thought the system radically
rongaudUi' system-of government
essentially the same: as the one now
in force,, was favored1 lV litMv
