Letter from
Mr. Noel
[/margin]

a copy of the Minutes of the Meeting of Senate held on Saturday
the 24th inst.

I feel grateful to the Senate for their kind consideration
of my case.

As the matter is now settled, I think it due both
to myself and to the Senate to express regret for any inconsiderate
and unwarrantable expressions I may have made to
Professor Bell, and to assure you that such expressions
were entirely unpremeditated on my part. This has been a
bitter trial to me, and I hope that my future conduct will
convince you that I have profited by it.

I remain,
Very Rev. Sir,
Yours respectfully and obediently,
(Signed) J. Rovason Noel, B.A."

Professor Murray intimated his intention to appeal
against the decision of the Senate on the 24th inst. in the
case of Mr. Noel, and [earned?] estimate. His petition was
granted.

Graduation
in Medicine
[/margin]

A recommendation from the Medical Faculty
was read, that the Senate should confer the Degree of
Doctor of Medicine on the following gentlemen: Alfred
Armstrong, William Beattie, Robert Danagh, Henry
M. Jones, P.E. Jones (Kahkewaquonaby), C. Lake,
John Newton, R.B. Price, James Sommerville, and
John Bell, M.A., the last of whom passed his examination
in the previous Session, but had not reached the required
age.

On the motion of Professor Murray, seconded
by Professor Williamson, the recommendation of the
Medical Faculty was unanimously agreed to.

A letter was read from Mr. John Bell, stating
that it would be impossible for him to be present at
the meeting of Convocation on the 28th inst. The
Senate agreed, in consideration of the circumstances
in which Mr. Bell is placed, to dispense with his presence.

The meeting was closed with the benediction.
