University of Virginia Library

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. Drunkenness, gambling, and
dissoluteness are strictly forbidden, and the President may dismiss from
the University for the residue of the current session any student found
guilty of them, or may administer such other discipline as seems best under
the circumstances.

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.

The keeping of dogs by students within the University grounds is
forbidden.

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.
