Student of Medicine, find as follows:

That the conduct of Mr Noel in respect of the language
Mr Noel admits having used, is, in the opinion of the Senate
notwithstanding alleged estimations, highly improper in itself,
unbecoming the character and pretensions of a student of Mr.
Noel's standing, disrespectful to Professor Bell, and his Colleagues
and subversive of the order which it is necessary to maintain
in this institution, and that therefore the use of it constitutes
a Serious act of insubordination, that, while a severer
punishment than that which the Senate has resolved to
pronounce is unanimously felt to be due to the offences,
the Senate entertain the hope, that the [acts?] of discipline
will be gained by their sentence in this case, especially
as the members of the Senate are aware of Mr. Noel's
good behaviour in his other classes. Upon these grounds,
the Senate resolve that Mr. Noel be prevented from
appearing at the ensuing primary examinations in Medicine,
that he required, and is hereby required to prepare an apology
satisfactory to the Senate to be read in the Chemistry
class room at such time as the Senate may direct, and
further that Mr Noel's right to appear as a candidate
for the Degree of M.D. at the close of next session
be dependent on his good behaviour during the interval.

The amendment was put and obtained four votes, the
motion was put and obtained five votes. The motion was therefore
declared carried, and the Registrar was instructed to communicate
in writing the sentence to Mr. Noel.

The meeting closed with the benediction.
