Eff. ? " But the cap is a mark ( 7 ) " of Servility which it is illiberal to conti- " nue ; the wearer does not appear like a " Gentleman ; Humanity pleads* againft the " ftatute. " If the objection be true, it is un- anfwerable : if the form of the cap render his fituation lefs comfortable or refpectable, I wim it were altered : although I humbly ap- prehend, that a little more condefcenfion and countenance from his fuperiors at home would contribute in far greater proportion to his comfort an...d decent eftimation, than any im- provement in his public habit ; but if his fu- periors have not " Humanity" enough to treat him like a " Gentleman" within his own walls, in vain will he endeavour to appear like one abroad. However, if an alteration in this inftance be expedient on the Principle above- mentioned, mould it not on the fame prin- ciple be as Small as poffible ? for there is alfo a Decorum to be kept with our Statutes. If nothing is more certain than that the primary (if indeed not the only) diftinclion intended by ftatute in the undergraduate habit, was between the Foundationer's and the Non- Foundationer's, which diftinclion we have al- ready loft in refpect of the Cap, why fhould it be wantonly confounded in the Gown alfo, without any reafon of expediency or decency ( 8 ) whatfoever, indeed contrary to both ?
