In March, Cabell joined 125 other students protesting against the Presbyterian institution's strict rules and rigorous curriculum.
College administrators subsequently suspended everyone who refused to withdraw his name from the formal protest petition.
Breckinridge refused to apologize for his role in the protest. He considered enrolling in the College of William and Mary for the fall term of 1807, believing he could complete his studies in nine months. But he ultimately decided not to.
In July 1808 he decided to return to Princeton to complete his studies and received his bachelor's degree in 1810.
I did not find out if he took his name off the petition or not.
