[margin] Complaint of Professor Bell against John V. Noel, QA [/margin]
The following complaint of Professor Bell against Mr. John V. Noel, Student in the Chemistry Class was laid on the table.
"To the Senate of Queen's College, Gentlemen I feel it a duty extremely painful to me to be obliged to complain of the conduct of John V. Noel in my class on the morning of Thursday, Feb. 15th. The circumstances are these. It has sometimes happened that when my attention has been wholly occupied with the subject of my lecture, some individual in the room has said the word 'shoulder', which would then be taken by a few of those present as the Signal for striking one of their hands upon their chests, thereby interupting the class. This morning, having observed a student strike his chest in this way, I improved the occasion to warn all whom it might concern that should any one repeat the offense, he might have serious consequences. Scarcely five minutes after I had thus spoken, I heard the above Signal repeated and saw Mr Noel and others respond as above described. Whereupon I named these individuals and called the whole class to witness that said individuals has been guilty of this act of insubordination. Mr Noel spoken out in a very insolent tone to this efffect. "I don't want you to be mixing up my name with these childish things. How did we know what you meant, speaking about noises? Why didn't you explain what you meant? That's a student's fashion we've had this long time. It was done when Dr Lawson was here. You may bring us up before the Senate if you like ------- humph!"
