Heman Humphrey statement regarding Charles Upham Shepard and Samuel Partridge disciplinary cases, 1824
Description:
Heman Humphrey statement in which he writes on behalf of the faculty of the Collegiate Institution regarding the disciplinary cases of students Charles Upham Shepard and Samuel Partridge. Humphrey states that the faculty has directed him to communicate the results of the cases so far as they deem it expedient at the present time to publish their doings. He elaborates on the faculty's concern that a number of students have so far forgotten the damage done to the students and Institution with the use of opprobrious epithets. Humphrey discusses the offense committed by Shepard and states that he will be admonished by the president in front of the faculty and the fact that he has been admonished will be stated to the students in the chapel. He discusses the case of Samuel Partridge who is also to be admonished by the president in front of the faculty. Humphrey goes on to say that the faculty express their disapprobation of attempts to bring a fellow student into disconduct or make his college life uncomfortable by applying to him any opprobrious epithets directly or indirectly. He writes that the faculty will not think so unfavorably of any student as to believe that they will wish to repeat the offense.
