that we differed from the Faculty?

did they know of its existence. 1
they interpreted the law, wo should h
beeu bound to take their interpietatK
but no one will deny but that wo hat
right to act upon our own interpretat
in the absence of tbeirs. Well, then,
on this conscientious interpretation,ant
the absence of one from the Faculty,
thought we had a right to consider t
no legal recitation, and hence a right
refuse to attend, lor the laws do not co
pel us to obey the Faculty implicit)* a
in all things. They say, "'The Facu

the true intent and meaning of that 1;
before quoted, that this order to atte
them in their private parlors, was r.ot
.order to a lawful recitation, which is t
ouly ono of the Professors' duties it cou
come under. According to onr interpi
Cation, the professors were not orderi
us to a lawful recitation, or to any otl
lawful College duty ; and hence we c>:
sidered we had as much right to refuse
If they had ordered us up town to a ca
dy-shop to ho treated to candy. If a
one tliinlu they could have a right
make this latter order, he reduces 1
position to palpable nonsense. Thus
refused to obey an order to do what,
we conscientiously thought from the la
was no College duty. Then, aiiowt
for a moment that we were right in
Jieving it no lawful duty which we w<
oidered to, and hence no lawful or
from the Faculty, was it rebellion to
fuse to obey it? Rebellion must
against the laws?it cannot be agaii
the Faculty. In our consiences we <
not repel against the laws?henco in (
consciences there was no rebellion.
But the Faculty, liv putting a differ*
construction on the first named law, a
by considering the word "class-room"
meaning any place w here a profc.v
holds forth, made the recitation a law
pne, and the order to attend it a law
one, and the refusal to attend it a rcl
lion. Remember,this interpretation con
too late for our use ; upon our inter pre
tion of lavs", we had already ac'ed, and
that interpretation had corie.-ponded w
the Faculty's, we had nftt acted unl?
fully. Our faults, then, seems to in
been merely that in the absence i f an
terpretatiou In the Facultv, we uad
t^rpreted tha law-; wrongly and at
on that wrong interpretation. Now, t
question arises, have wo any right to
extenuation and fr? ! from j u.jshun
on account of our otTenco bosug cant
by litis unintentional miscor. !i . :: ,n ;
Simple justice, we ar- sure, \\<>Ui i v

between the college government and i
judicial system, think we have not. Ni
they say, if any man commits an otlei
against the State from a misconslrucli
of some law, it is no extenuation?exce
perhaps, as far as the. mere mercy of
court can extend. From analogy tl
argue the same thing of college gove
ment?that we are not em mod to co
pfete extenuation. Now, an arguint
from analogy can only hold good win
the two principles are drawn from poi
of resefirfbianco. This is not the case he
for in judicial proceedings a man's int<
lions can only he allowed to look t
through his actions; hence, though
misconstrued Ilia law and committed i
offence, yet, sinco his munitions are si

aro exposed by bis actions, be cam
have the extenuation that might hi
from pure motives. But, happily, in (.
lege it is different; here every confide
is put in our honor; our motives it is s
posed can bo seen independently of <
actions; hence the extenuation from g<
motives, which Is impracticable in law,
comes perfectly practicable here; a
who will say that where it is practica
it should not be allowed ? Well, tlx
to sum up, we wero involved in fault
a conscientious misinterpretation of law
