In the journal of a member of the class which graduated at Harvard College in the year 1793, under the date of December 23d, 1789, Exhibition, is the following memorandum: "Music was intermingled with elocution, which (we read) has charms to soothe even a savage breast." Again, on a similar occasion, April 13th, 1790, an account of the exercises of the day closes with this note: "Tender music being interspersed to enliven the audience." Vocal music was sometimes introduced. In the same Journal, date October 1st, 1790, Exhibition, the writer says: "The performances were enlivened with an excellent piece of music, sung by Harvard Singing Club, accompanied with a band of music." From this time to the present day, music, either vocal or instrumental, has formed a very entertaining part of the Exhibition performances.[24] The exercises for exhibitions are assigned by the Faculty to meritorious students, usually of the two higher classes. The exhibitions are held under the direction of the President, and a refusal to perform the part assigned is regarded as a high offence.--_Laws of Univ. at Cam., Mass._, 1848, p. 19. _Laws Yale Coll._, 1837, p. 16. 2. Allowance of meat and drink; pension; benefaction settled for the maintenance of scholars in the English Universities, not depending on the foundation.--_Encyc._ What maintenance he from his friends receives, Like _exhibition_ thou shalt have from me. _Two Gent. Verona_, Act. I. Sc. 3. This word was formerly used in American colleges. I order and appoint ... ten pounds a year for one _exhibition_, to assist one pious young man.--_Quincy's Hist. Harv. Univ._, Vol. I. p. 530. As to the extending the time of his _exhibitions_, we agree to it. --_Ibid._, Vol. I. p. 532. In the yearly "Statement of the Treasurer" of Harvard College, the word is still retained. "A _school exhibition_," says a writer in the Literary World, with reference to England, "is a stipend given to the head boys of a school, conditional on their proceeding to some particular college in one of the universities."--Vol. XII. p. 285. EXHIBITIONER. One who has a pension or allowance, granted for the encouragement of learning; one who enjoys an exhibition. Used principally in the English universities. 2. One who performs a part at an exhibition in American colleges is sometimes called an _exhibitioner_. EXPEL. In college government, to command to leave; to dissolve the connection of a student; to interdict him from further connection. --_Webster_. EXPULSION. In college government, expulsion is the highest censure, and is a final separation from the college or university. --_Coll. Laws_.
