Resolved that the Proctor be instructed to take proper measures to have prosecutions instituted against D. S. Mosby and Thomas Draffin for violations of the law concerning ordinaries and tippling houses, and to have their licenses revoked, if any they have, that it be also the duty of the Proctor to have like proceedings instituted against other such offenders if any should be at any time known to him. To enable the Proctor to perform this and other duties requiring proceedings in court, he shall be authorised to employ counsel for the University, and pay him reasonable fees. It being suggested to the board that a young man named Robert Beverley abiding for the time in the town of Charlottesville, habitually indulges habits of intemperance & disorder, violating the laws of the land, setting an evil example to the Students, and seducing them from their duties, and the Visitors deeming it their duty to procure the punishment of such offences, in order that the offender and his example may be removed, therefore Resolved that the Proctor be instructed to give information to the Attorney for the Commonwealth for the county court, and Superior court of law for Albemarle, and to take such measures as either of the s[ai]d Attornies shall advise for binding the said Robert Beverley to his good behavior, and for punishing his violations of the law. Resolved that the Proctor be instructed to consult with the Attorney for the Commonwealth for the Superior court, and take such measures as may be proper to continue the prosecutions commenced against Philip Clayton, and William L. Eyre, late students of the University, or to institute new prosecutions if necessary. It is especially enjoined on the Proctor to make vigilant enquiry into the violence lately offered to the house of Professor Emmett and the wall of Professor Blaettermann's garden, and to endeavor to bring the offenders before the civil authorities. The keepers of the hotels are expected to be men of firmness & discretion willing at all times to cooperate with the Faculty and Visitors in executing the laws of the institution: it is therefore at present recommended to them as [2] proper, and, after the existing leases expire, it is expressly enjoined upon them as a duty, that they shall, whenevpper called on, either by the Visitors, or by the Faculty, freely give evidence upon honor, of all matters within their knolege touching the conduct of the students. No Student boarding at any Hotel, shall be allowed to change his boarding house till the end of the session, without permission from the Faculty. Hacks and other carriages let on hire shall be admitted within the Precincts of the University only under such regulations as shall be prescribed by the [struck: University] Faculty. [struck: of the University.] The Executive Committee are required to provide for lighting the University, if it can be effectually done at a reasonable expence. The Proctor is required to keep the drains in the grounds of the University always free from obstruction, and to construct such others as the Executive Committee may direct. If the duties on the imported marble should be remitted by Congress the Executive Committee are authorised to procure a clock and bell for the use of the University. That part of the communication of the Faculty respecting the procurement of books for the students is referred to the Executive Committee, who are requested to investigate the subject and take such measures as they may find expedient to obviate the evils complained of. The list of periodical publications furnished by the Faculty being approved by the Board, the Rector is requested to forward a copy thereof to mr Hilliard, and to require him to furnish them to the University annually till the further order of the board. The expulsion of Philip Clayton from the University, by an order of the Faculty made the 14th of Oct. last, is approved and confirmed by this board. The expulsion of William Lewis Cabell, by order of the Faculty made on the 30th January last is also approved and confirmed. Done by the Visitors of the University, Witness Th: Jefferson.
