President Bates having taken the chair, Rev. Dr. Rice, of Virginia, addressed the meeting. He admitted the excellence of the parental system of discipline, but doubted its sufficiency for students, living in masses within college establishments, nor did he believe it could be made effectual until a 161 change was effected in public opinion; not pre- pared to give an opinion in relation to the dis- missal of students, and their reception into other colleges, he was in favor of the motion for com...- mitting the subject as had been proposed, and concluded by declaring his firm belief, that no discipline could be perfect without religious in- fluence. Professor Patten, from Princeton, expressed his belief that an internal error existed in all our colleges, in relation to discipline; that the system of parental government was much needed. He drew a distinction between the government of a college, and of a University, adverted to the Uni- versity of Virginia, and recommended a modified course of college government, based on the paren- tal system, as best adapted to Universities.
