Text Any textual data included in the document (Lane_058-063) Line 1 by the Executive Committee Line 2 The Committee appointed ^ on behalf of the Trustees Line 3 of the Lane Seminary to consider the matter Line 4 recently brought before them, relative to the proceed- Line 5 ings among the students on the subject of slavery Line 6 Report That they have considered the subject Line 7 the referred to them, & collected such information Line 8 as their opportunities have afforded. Line 9 The subject of slavery is one of the deepest in- Line 10 terest to all good interest citizens of these United Line 11 States; yet, one which must always be approached Line 12 with diffidence & discretion, for it has in some Line 13 measure thwarted the wisdom of the ablest & Line 14 best men of the country. Yet the Committee Line 15 however much as individuals they may disapprove Line 16 the conduct of some indiscreet zealots of the day; Line 17 as the sentiments sometimes avowed, tending Line 18 too plainly to civil commotion & anarchy; Line 19 do not regard it as their official duty to in Line 20 terfer interfere at all in the existing contro- Line 21 versies. Their concern is with the government of Line 22 the Institution, & they would take ^ recommend no other measures Line 23 than the interests & the usefulness of the Insti- Line 24 tution require. Line 25 No seminary of learning, especially no theology- Line 26 ical one, should stand before the public as a Line 27 [partisan], on any question, upon which able men Line 28 & pious Christians differ. Such a course will Line 29 not only lessen its influence, & bring discredit upon Line 30 the cause of education & religion; but, [what] Line 31 is still [more], ^will tend to preoccupy the minds Line 32 of the young with bitter party prejudices; to Line 33 unsettle the judgment; & unfit the mind for Line 34 genial & useful intercourse with mankind. Line 35 Such an institution, instead of sending Line 36 forth to the world men deeply imbued with Line 37 a spirit of benevolence, kindness & forbearance (Lane _059) Line 1 towards all men, friends or foes, will generally Line 2 pour into the controversies of community a Line 3 heated torrent of unextinguishable rancor. Party Line 4 spirit generated thus early in life, & thus intimately Line 5 blended with the acquisition of knowledge, be- Line 6 comes a constitutional [unclear] of the mind, ex- Line 7 tremely difficult of [unclear] & destructive to [all] its Line 8 future usefulness. [Such] ^This is the tendency of all Line 9 [action] ^ such discussions & debates or such such questions Line 10 among ^ the students, ^ on the kind of questions referred to. Line 11 as array them into parties, or attach them to Line 12 parties existing in community. For these, as well Line 13 as other reasons, which might be [unclear], the Committee Line 14 are of opinion, that every thing tending to keep Line 15 alive a spirit of controversy on the subject in Line 16 question, ought to be excluded from the Semin- Line 17 nary. Line 18 The Committee are further of opinion, that Line 19 no associations or societies among the students Line 20 ought to be allowed in the Seminary, except Line 21 such as have for the immediate object im- Line 22 provement in the prescribed course of studies. Line 23 The plan of instruction is intended to be so Line 24 arranged, as to occupy as much of the time Line 25 of the students, as a due regard to their Line 26 health & other proper considerations, will Line 27 admit: that plan has been adjusted accor- Line 28 ding to the best judgment of those, to whom Line 29 the government of the institution has been en- Line 30 trusted: It is therefor totally inadmissible Line 31 that other plans & other objects should be in- Line 32 troduced, without their approbation. Associations Line 33 & discussions foreign to the course of instruction Line 34 distract the attention, & retard improvement. Line 35 If the topics are matter of public interest & pop- (Lane_060) Line 1 ular excitement, the mischief is [unclear] Line 2 All men & especially the young, partake of the Line 3 enthusiasm of agitated winds around them; Line 4 & [these], when judgments are not well settled, Line 5 too often become intoxicated with the powerful Line 6 stimulus. [This] wind so delights in such this kind of excite- Line 7 ment, that it can hardly be forsake it, for Line 8 the sober business of included study: the relish Line 9 for it becomes too much like that for cold water, Line 10 compared with the burning cup of the drunk- Line 11 ard. Hence it is, that the education must be Line 12 completed, before the young are fitted to engage Line 13 in the collisions of active life. To produce an Line 14 education with success requires the whole undi- Line 15 vided energies of the mind. If in some instances Line 16 an individual may succeed, [while] other [leading] Line 17 objects occupy his [unclear] ^ attention; hundreds in attempting Line 18 to follow such an example, will be ruined. Line 19 Line 20 The Committee further that report, that the Anti-Sla- Line 21 very society, of the Seminary was organized without the approba- Line 22 tion of the Trustees, or the Faculty, that & the discuss- Line 23 ions, connected with it which have arisen in consequence of it, were Line 24 without the [assent], & against the advice of the Line 25 Faculty. It appears that their proceedings, as pub- Line 26 lished & reported, were occasionally spoken of Line 27 among the trustees with disapprobation; but at the Line 28 same time it was believed, that the advice & Line 29 persuasions of the Faculty, would have suffi- such Line 30 cient influence with the students, as finally to Line 31 lead to an abandonment of the project, or Line 32 at best to prevent any material injurious results. Line 33 (But the present information of the Committee is Line 34 such do the induce them to abandon all hopes Line 35 of their kind) In this way the subject has been [offered] (Lane_061) Line 1 to rest without official an [unclear], but also [unclear] Line 2 any [unclear] sanction ^ of the [unclear] That can interfere with its [?]. Line 3 From facts laid before the committee, which it is deemed Line 4 unneccessary to state, they are of opinion, that this Line 5 project will not be voluntarily abandoned; & that Line 6 the government of the Institution cannot, with due Line 7 regard to its interests & usefulness, longer delay to Line 8 adopt decisive measures on the subject. They Line 9 are of opinion that this society is peculiarly ^ liable [unclear] Line 10 ions to ^ some of the objections stated above & ought to be abol- Line 11 ished. They are also of opinion, that the colo- Line 12 nization society in the seminary, altho organized Line 13 as they understand merely with a view to [coun- Line 14 teract] the peculiar influences ^ sentiments of their opponents, is Line 15 liable to similar objections, & ought also to be Line 16 abolished. As an outline of the regulations Line 17 requisite to [remedy] the existing [evils], & prevent the Line 18 recurrence of similar ones in future, the com- Line 19 mittee ^ recommend the adoption of the following Resolution: Line 20 Resolved, that rules should be adopted, prohibit- Line 21 ing the organization in the seminary of any associa- Line 22 tion or Society of the Students, without the approba- Line 23 tion of the Faculty; & Executive Committee, of Line 24 the trustees, sanctioning their constitution; Line 25 prohibiting the calling or holding of meetings Line 26 among the students without the approbation of Line 27 the Faculty; - prohibiting students from delivering Line 28 public addresses or lectures at the seminary or Line 29 elsewhere, without the [leave] of the faculty; - Line 30 prohibiting public statements or communications Line 31 to the students when assembled at their [meals] Line 32 or on other ordinary occasions, without the Line 33 [leave] of the Faculty; - requiring the Anti-Slav- Line 34 very society & the Colonization Society of the Line 35 seminary to be abolished & prohibiting any (Lane _062) Line 1 student from acting as members thereof; [prohib- Line 2 iting] any student from being absent from the Sem- Line 3 inary at any time in term time, without the leave Line 4 of the Faculty, or of such person as they shall desig- Line 5 nate for that purpose; - & providing for discouraging Line 6 & discountenancing, by all suitable means, such dis- Line 7 cussions & conduct among the students, as are calcu- Line 8 lated to divert distract their attention, from their studies, Line 9 excite party animosities, stir up [unclear] passions Line 10 among themselves or in community, or involve them- Line 11 selves with the political concerns of the Country; Line 12 also providing, or in other cases, for the dismissal of any student Line 13 neglecting to comply with these regulations. Line 14 As a majority of the Faculty are now absent, & it is Line 15 extremely desirable to have their counsel & concurrence Line 16 in framing any permanent rules for the government of the Line 17 Institution, & as the adoption of the foregoing resolu- Line 18 tion will sufficiently indicate to the students the Line 19 course, which the Trustees are determined to pursue, Line 20 the Committee recommend, that the formal enact- Line 21 ment of these rules, be postponed, until the Faculty Line 22 shall be reassembled: and in the mean time, in Line 23 order that the students may not [return] at this Line 24 [next] session in ignorance of the contemplated ar Line 25 rangements regulations, & that the public [impressions] Line 26 may be [notified] on the subject, they recommend Line 27 that these proceedings be published.
