Sidney Brooks fragment of writings on the love of the mysterious Collegiate Institution faculty resolution to suspend Joseph Goffe, Jr., 1824 July 16 Humphrey, Heman, 1779-1861 A document stating that at a meeting of the faculty of the Collegiate Institution on July 16, 1824 it was voted that Joseph Goffe, Jr., a sophomore, would be suspended from the Collegiate Institution and that the president would read the suspension in the chapel tomorrow morning. The document states that on the 12th Goffe left the Institution and the town although he had been told by the president that he did not have permission to go, and in so doing, Goffe violated the laws of the Institution. It goes on to state that in response to being asked to account for his disobedience, Goffe said that a student has the right to disobey the authority of the College when he thinks his request has been unreasonably denied. In response to this and his original action, the faculty votes to suspend Goffe for six months. The document appears to be written in Heman Humphrey's hand.
