Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Statutes and Laws of the University at Cambridge: As Revised and Adopted by the Corporation on the 10th of June, And, Concurred in by the Overseers on the 17th of September, 1848 The last general revision of the Laws of the University took place in 1825, after a very protracted and laborious examination. On this occasion many important changes were made in the laws, of which an edition, as revised, was published in that year. Another edition, with some slight changes, was published in 1826, and still another in 1828. Since then there has been no publication of all the laws of the University, and they may be considered, at this time, as out of print. On the 17th May, 1832, President Quincy informed the Corporation that "a new edition of the Statutes and laws would be requisite, and suggested the expediency of a new arrangement of the laws, and some modifications of them: "Whereupon, it was voted, that "The President be a committee for the above purpose." On the 19th of July, President Quincy reported a selection from the general laws, under the title of "Statutes and Laws of Harvard University relative to Undergraduates"; which was read and adopted by the Corporation on the same day. Such portions of the previously existing laws as were deemed to relate to the same matters were at the same time repealed. On the same day (19th of July, 1832) the newly adopted code of laws was laid before the Over-seers and referred to a committee of that body, with instructions to report at the next meeting. At that meeting (23d of August, 1832), no report having been made by the Committee, they were discharged from the farther consideration of the subject; and the Revised Statutes and Laws as adopted by the Corporation were concurred in, with one slight amendment, by the Overseers. To this selection of laws and Statutes relating to undergraduates, thus adopted by the Corporation and Overseers, were subsequently added the "Orders and Regulations of the Faculty of Harvard College," forming together the pamphlet edition of the laws, placed in the hands of students when admitted to the College. This pamphlet has been more than once reprinted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
