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 University precincts or not. Drunkenness, gambling, and
dissoluteness are strictly forbidden, and the President may dismiss from the
University 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.
