Minutes of the Executive
Committee of the Board of Trustees, November 7, 1856 [Containing
Resolutions Pertaining to Professor Henry Harrisse
]
University of North Carolina (1793-1962). Board of Trustees. Executive
Committee
The select Committee to whom were referred the various Memorials of Mr. H. Herrisse
Instructor in French & the several
copies of the Faculty's Journal: together with sundry Communications from the
President & Faculty in explanation of the same, submitted sundry
Resolutions & recommended their adoption.
The said Resolutions were read & after undergoing amendments were
adopted in the following words.
Resolved that the case of William Whitaker
presents repeated acts of
disorder & irregularity in the recitation room of the French
Instructor
Page 200
And the Course of the Faculty
appears to have been marked with extraordinary leniency towards the delinquent:
but this Committee believing that the Faculty have
superior means of judging of the expediency of the discipline to be administered
& having confidence in their Judgment upon the facts in each case deem
it unnecessary to express any further opinion in relation thereto.
Resolved that in the opinion of this Committee Mr. H. Herrisse
through a want of
information they hope, of the usages of the Institution and the necessity of harmony in the action of the
Faculty has justly subjected himself to the complaints of the Faculty as
contained in their Second Resolutions of August last.
Resolved that the further consideration of the said Memorials of said H. Herrisse
& of the Supplemental Key, Appendix & Postscripts be postponed
indefinitely.
