CONDUCT.
Conduct.—The laws of the university require from every student
decorous, sober, and upright conduct as long as he remains a member
of the university, whether he be within the precincts or not.
They require from the student regular and diligent application to his
studies, and if, in the opinion of the faculty, any student be not fulfilling
the purposes for which he ought to have come to the university,
and be not likely to fulfill them, either from habitual delinquency
in any of his classes, or from habitual idleness, or from any other
bad habit, the president, upon recommendation of the faculty, may
require him to withdraw from the university, after informing him of
the objections to his conduct and affording him an opportunity of explanation
and defense.
Drunkenness, gambling, and dissoluteness are strictly forbidden,
and the president may dismiss from the university for the residue
of the current session every student found guilty of them, or may administer
such other discipline as seems best under the circumstances.
The keeping of Dogs by students within the university grounds
is forbidden.
In all cases of Discipline, the law requires that the student must
first be informed of the objections to his conduct and afforded an opportunity
of explanation and defense.
Prohibition of Credit.—An act of the Legislature prohibits merchants
and others, under severe penalties, from crediting minor students.
The license to contract debts, which the president is authorized
to grant, is limited (except when the parent or guardian requests
otherwise in writing) to cases of urgent necessity.
