And that all the office-bearers in those colleges should be appointed by a board of trustees, of which the Roman Catholic prelates of the provinces in which any of those colleges shall be erected shall be members.
"That the Roman Catholic pupils could not attend the lectures on history, logic, metaphysics, moral philosophy, geology, or anatomy, without exposing their faith or morals to imminent danger, unless a Roman Catholic professor will be appointed for each of those chairs.
"That if any president, vice-president, professor, or office-bearer, in any of the new colleges shall be convicted before the board of trustees of attempting to undermine the faith or injure the morals of any student in those institutions, he shall be immediately removed from his office by the same board." It will be observed that the principle of mixed education is not here directly approved or condemned.

But approval is an inference, as clear and emphatic as words could express.

The memorial prays for distinct and specific alterations in the details of the Bill.

It demands that certain branches of secular education should be taught to the Catholic students by Catholic professors approved of by the prelates, and it insists upon other guarantees to secure the Catholic youth from the danger of all and every species of interference with the tenets of their faith.
How far the demands of the bishops were just or extravagant, is not a fit subject of inquiry here.

But the fact of making the demands stamps the principle of the bill with their incontrovertible approval.
