At a meeting held at the Hospital Oct 17th at 2 P.M. Present: Fussell, Semple, Kerr & Cleveland. A letter from Dr. Birdsall to A. Preston was read. It informed her that owing to the duties of a public appointment & to the distance of the College from his residence, it would not be practicable for him to lecture the coming session. After much consultation upon the probable number of students &c it was moved by Dr. Kerr "that owing to the embarrassed state of the times the session of 1861-2 be omitted & that the Dean be instructed to notify all with whom any correspondence has been had of this omission." The vote in the affirmative was Fussell, Semple & Kerr. Negative Cleveland. A letter was read from A. Preston On motion the Dean was instructed to notify such of our students as were now from having attended two courses of lectures, entitled to an examination, that they would be admitted to such examination at such time as they may choose.
