III.--PROFESSORS.

The plan of education in the University shall be by separate
schools for all branches of knowledge. Each school to be complete
in itself--to be entirely independent of the others, and to be devoted
to imparting instruction [handwritten proofreader's mark: strikethrough "to"] every thing belonging to its department.

At the head of each school, excepting those of theology, law, and
medicine, the[handwritten proofreader's mark strikethrough "ir" and add "re" so it reads "there"] shall be a Professor-in-Chief, to be elected by the
Board of Trustees. It shall be his duty to regulate the studies of
his school, for the character and success of which he is to be held
especially responsible; and in the instruction of which he shall
engage personally, by lecture, lessons, and exercises, as he may deem
best. Frequent interrogations, of a stringent and searching char-
acter, being, however, absolutely required.

Each school shall be divided into sections of as many students as
may be conveniently or efficiently instructed, and no more. The
classing of the students into sections shall be regulated or fixed by
their attainments, to be determined by examination on their applica-
tion for admission. But they may be transferred from section to
section, up or down, according to the degree of proficiency they
shall from time to time exhibit.

In the instruction of these sections the Professor-in-Chief shall be
aided by as many assistant Professors as shall be necessary, who
shall be under his direction and control, and shall aid him in the
government and discipline of the students of his school while in their
section or lecture rooms.

The Professor-in-Chief shall be provided with a house, and paid a
salary of $3,000, by the University. This amount may be increased
from their school tickets to a sum not exceeding $5000. They shall
vacate their offices at the expiration of five years, but they may be
reelected at the pleasure of the Board of Trustees.
