Excerpt from Report on a Proposition to Modify the Plan of Instruction: In the University of Alabama, Made to the Faculty of the University, Read Before the Faculty, Sept; 21, and Before the Board of Trustees, Sept; 26, 1854
It is by no means the belief of the undersigned, that those members of the Board whose names are appended to the request, which has led to the appointment of this Committee, are all of them, by previous conviction, in favor of the introduction into this University of the system of which they ask for the details. It is quite sufiicient to suppose that the request was dictated by a desire, on the one hand, to know explicitly and defi nitely what it is which it is proposed to substitute here, in place of a system that, if not the best7 has, neverthe less, the sanction of some centuries of experiment, and the present support of the general sufirage; and an equal desire, on the other, to satisfy the outside advo cates of change, that the Board are always willing to examine any project for the improvement of the Uni versity, which, in the view of any friend of the cause of education, may deserve their deliberate attention. Those members of the Board to whom this inquiry is owing, are therefore regarded by the undersigned as occupying, equally with their colleagues, the attitude of judges, whose opinions are yet to be expressed, and not that of partizans, who are waiting only to act upon a judgment already formed.
