THE Ohio Journal of Education. COLUMBUS, MARCH, 1857. CONVENTION OF OHIO COLLEGE OFFICERS. Ar a Convention, composed of delegates from Colleges in the State of Ohio, assembled at Columbus, December 29th, 1856, the following Resolutions, designed to promote the internal tranquillity, the literary progress, and the exemplary conduct of Students, were unanimously adopted; and a Committee, consisting of the Hon. Horace Mann, President of Antioch College, the Rev. Jeremiah Hall, President of Denison University, and the Rev. Dr. Solomon Howard, President of Ohio University, were appointed to prepare an Address to the Faculties of Colleges in the State of Ohio, setting forth more fully and argumentatively the subject matter of the resolutions, and to cause the same to be printed and distributed : WHEREAS, a sentiment very generally prevails in Colleges and Schools, that students ought, as far as possible, to withhold all information, respecting the misconduct of their fellow-students, from Faculty and Teachers; And, whereas this sentiment is often embodied in what is called a "Code of Honor," by whose unwritten, and, therefore, uncertain provisions, students are often tempted or constrained, under fear of ridicule, or contempt, or violence, to connive at the offenses of their fellow-students beforehand, or to screen them from punishment afterwards; And, whereas a bounty is thus offered for the commission of wrong, in the impunity which is secured to the wrongdoer; therefore, Resolved, That a College or School is a community, which, as an essential condition of its prosperity, must, like any other community, be governed by wise and wholesome laws, faithfully administered. And further resolved, That, as he is a good citizen, and, in the highest degree worthy of the gratitude of the community where he dwells, who, knowing that an offense is about to be committed, promptly interposes to prevent it; and, as he is a bad citizen, and worthy the condemnation of all good men, who, knowing that an offense has been committed, withholds testimony, or suborns witnesses to shield the culprit from the consequences of his crime;-so, in a College or in a School, he is a good student and a true friend of all other students, who, VOL.
