The parent of the defendant was also informed of the circumstances and requested to be present, and he accordingly attended.
The prisoner was tried, found guilty, and sentenced, if I mistake not, to expulsion.

At his earnest request, however, to be permitted to remain in the Lyceum and redeem his character, he was pardoned and restored, and from that time he became perfectly exemplary in his conduct and character.

After this occurrence the system went on in successful operation for some time.
The legislative power was vested in the hands of a general committee, consisting of eight or ten, chosen by the students from their own number.

They met about once a week to transact such business as appointing officers, making and repealing regulations, and inquiring into the state of the Lyceum.

The instructors had a negative upon all their proceedings, but no direct and positive power.
