with regard to the keeping up decorum shall be the same in each Tutor as is
shall be visited in each Professor, so far as respects the Laws, rules,
& regulations of the University; yet neither of them shall
be entitled to a vote in the making of any temporary law or regulation; but they
shall nevertheless be at liberty to attend on such occasions and to offer their
opinions.
