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.
