Needing, at
the same time, no regular incorporation with the institution, they
may be left to accessory teachers, who will be paid by the
individuals employing them, the University only providing proper
apartments for their exercise.
The fifth duty prescribed to the Commissioners, is to propose
such general provisions as may be properly enacted by the
Legislature, for the better organizing and governing the University.
In the education of youth, provision is to be made for, 1,
tuition; 2, diet; 3, lodging; 4, government; and 5, honorary
excitements. The first of these constitutes the proper functions of
the professors; 2, the dieting of the students should be left to
private boarding houses of their own choice, and at their own
expense; to be regulated by the Visitors from time to time, the house
only being provided by the University within its own precincts, and
thereby of course subjected to the general regimen, moral or
sumptuary, which they shall prescribe. 3. They should be lodged in
dormitories, making a part of the general system of buildings. 4.
The best mode of government for youth, in large collections, is
certainly a desideratum not yet attained with us. It may be well
questioned whether _fear_ after a certain age, is a motive to which
we should have ordinary recourse.
