I. UNIVERSITY BILLS, BOARD AND LODGING.

1. All University expenses, including board, must be paid in
advance to the Treasurer of the University.

2. Students are required to call at the Treasurer's office in
the course of the first ten days of each session and to give in-
formation as to their place of boarding, etc., so that their bills
can be made out. All bills must be paid within the first four
weeks of the session. Failvire to comply with this rule shall
deprive the student of the privileges of the University until
payment is made, unless excused by special vote of the Faculty.

3. When a student enters the University before the middle of
a session, he shall pay in full the usual charges for that session,
with the exception of the charges for board j if he enter after
the middle of a session, he shall pay one-half. For board he
shall pay in ijroportion to the time.

4. When a student leaves the University, whether voluntarily
or by dismission, before the middle of any session, one-half of
the charges for tuition and public rooms for that session shall
be refunded. But in the case of temporary absence and subse-
quent return, although the absence be for more than half a
session, no such rebate shall be granted.

5. When a student is dismissed from the University for any
cause, the advance deposit for board, fuel, and gas, beyond the
time of his dismission, shall be refunded to his parent or
guardian.

6. When at the end of the first term the amount of the ad-
vance deposit proves to be in excess of the sum required to de-
fray the board or room bills of any student, the excess shall be
credited on his bill for the next session. At the end of the
Academic year the amounts overpaid by the members of the
graduating class for board, room-rent, fuel, or gas shall be re-
funded by the Treasurer to the student's parent or guardian.
The parent or guardian of every undergraduate will be advisee'
of the amount of excess to the credit of his son or ward, and

such amount will be carried over to his credit on the bill of the
first term of the following year. In case of withdrawal or
dismissal from the University of any undergraduate, at the end
of the college year such excess will be refunded by the Treasurer
to the parent or guardian, when informed by the Clerk of the
Faculty that such undergraduate has been withdrawn or dis-
missed from the University.

7. Students may take their meals at any house approved by
the Curator of Grounds and Buildings. Any student wishing to
change liis place of boarding must obtain permission from the
Treasurer on or before the date of the proposed change. Penalty
for disregard of this ru.le is a fine of five dollars.

N. B. — The University week begins on Wednesday.

8. Students are required, as far as practicable, to lodge in the
University buildings. The rules governing allotment and rental
of rooms follow. Places of lodging in the town must have the

a fine of ten dollars, and such further penalty as the Faculty
may deem necessary.

a. All rooms occupied by students whose connection with the
University will terminate at the end of the academic year.

b. The rooms of all Seniors, whether with room-mate or not,

term of each academic year for the purpose of assigning such
rooms as may then fall vacant.

4 o. The assignment of rooms shall in all cases not herein
specially excepted take place in such a manner that specific
rooms shall be assigned by lot.

and of the group in which he wishes to be placed.

Every applicant for a room shall agree beforehand, and shall
be required, to take tlie room which may be assigned to him by
lot in the group in which he has made application.

d. Each drawing shall begin with the first group and proceed
from that group through the otiier groups successively in the
order given above. Any applicant who does not obtain a room
in the group to which he first asked to be assigned may be
allowed to draw in any higher group.

e. If there be any rooms remaining unassigned after a draw-
ing, such rooms may be assigned by subsequent allotment, at

6

such time before the end of the year or of the term as the
Treasurer may appoint; such supplementary allotment to be
made under the same rules as the principal allotment, with this
exception, that the rooms disposed of by means of it may be
classified as above or not at the discretion oi the Treasurer.

versity. The first drawing shall include the names of all appli-
cants who have been members of the University for more than
one year. A second drawing shall include the names of all
applicants who have been members of the University for one
year or less.

f (b) . If the application for a double room shall be signed by
students who have been members of the University different
lengths of time, it shall be classified, and placed in the drawing
in which the student who has been a member of the University

g. New students shall have choice of any rooms remaining
vacant at the time of their entering upon residence in the order
of their application after undergoing the entrance examina-
tions for full s Landing, upon condition of immediately signing
the lease required in all cases. [See rule 5 a.]

h. Double rooms shall be separately classified and allotted in
accordance with the above regulations. Only such suites as con-
sist of a study and two bedrooms shall be considered double

privilege of any single individual to draw for a double room.
Every application for a double room must give the names of
two persons who intend to occupy the room together and who
undertake to be jointly responsible for the rent of the same.

i. Whenever, for any reason, one of the occupants of a double
room is permitted or obliged to cancel his room lease, the re-
maining occupant must vacate the room at the end of the cur-
rent academic term, unless he agrees to pay the whole rent, or
provide a room-mate who shall join him in signing a new lease
for the remainder of the academic year.

5 a. The tenure and liability of those to whom rooms are as-
signed under these rules shall be the tenure and liabilities ex-
pressed in the following lease, which must be signed in the case
of each room allotted by the student who is to occupy it and by
his parent or guardian. This lease must be signed and delivered
to the Treasurer in each case within ten days of the allotment,

and fire and other casualty excepted. The said lessee also
covenants that he will not do or sufl'er to be done any damage
in the leased premises, and that, if any damage beyond reason-
able wear and tear be done, he will cause the same to be made
good as soon as possible at his own expense, employing for that
purpose the proper University workmen, and paying the cost
thereof at once to the University Treasurer, it being understood
that the damage here meant includes the breakage of glass and
locks, whether by accident or design. The said lessee further
covenants that he will not sublet the same or any part thereof,
nor permit any other person or persons to occupy the same or
any part thereof, nor make nor suffer to be made any alteration

versity discipline. This lease is made on the express condition
that it may be terminated by said Trustees through their repre-
sentative.

6. Any occupant of a college room may retain his room until
the end of his undergraduate or graduate course provided he
annually notify the Treasurer of his intention of retaining it
and sign a new lease before the 1st of May. Otherwise his room
shall be considered vacant and shall be included in the next
allotment. In case an occupant of a double room be left without
a room-mate at the end of the academic year, he may renew his
lease upon condition of naming another student of the Uni-
versity who will become joint lessee with him for the following
year, unless the room-mate who leaves is a Senior or a fourth
year Special. It shall also be the privilege of any occupant of
a college room to renew his lease at the end of his own tenure
in the name of his brother, when that brother is to enter the
University immediately.

c. The right to occupy a room is not transferable and termi-
nates with the expiration of the lease. Any attempt on the part
of the occupant of a college room to sell or transfer, directly or
indirectly, his right of occupancy shall be deemed a fraudulent
transaction. The penalty for violation of this rule shall be
forfeiture of the room by the new lessee.

d. The occupant of a college room shall deposit Avith the
Treasurer the sum of 25 cents for each key to his room that
may be furnished him by the University ; and all amounts paid

versity year, and also those who change from one dormitory

which they vacate.

Students who make such changes at the end of the first
term of the University year must remove their furniture at
once. Furniture not removed by the owners will be removed
by the University authorities at the owner's risk and expense.

7. No exchange of rooms shall be allowed unless formally
sanctioned in writing by the Treasurer; and then only upon
terms explicitly stated in a written application signed by both
parties to the proposed exchange, and not in contravention of
the spirit of these rules. Such applications shall be kept on
file in the Treasurer's oflice.

8. When rooms are vacated during a terna the rent shall be
paid until the end of the term. -An occu.iiant of a college room
who expects to be absent on leave for a term may be released
from the obligations of his lease, provided he notify the Treas-
urer before the beginning of the term during which he expects
to be absent, and give up the room; but no abatement or draw-
back of room rent shall be allowed for any period less than a
term, except in special cases, to be stated in writing, and by
permission of the Treasurer.

9. The Faculty of the University is directed to suspend or
expel every student who may be found guilty of breaking or
evading these rules or injuring or interfering with the person
or property of his successor in a room ; or of aiding or abetting
another in such transgression, evasion, injury or interference.
The Faculty and all its officers are instructed to take the utmost
pains, by ordinary or extra-ordinary means, to discover such
offenders, and prevent such offenses.

The Faculty is further instructed to report, with the evidence
discovered, the name of any graduate or outsider who may be
guilty of such offenses to the Committee on Grounds and Build-
ings ; and said committee is authorized and directed to procure
legal counsel and, when the evidence seems to justify it, to take
appropriate legal proceedings against any and every offender
before a court of law.

10

The Kegistrar of the University is instructed, under the su-
pervision of the last said committee, to have these regulations
incorporated in a set of amended rules and printed in a pam-
phlet, and to send copies to all parents or guardians, either of
students now in the University, or of applicants for admission.

III. REGISTEATfON AND CHOICE OF ELECTIVES.

RULES FOR REGISTRATION.

At tlie beginning of the academic year each vmdergraduate
student shall report in person at the Registrar's Office, before
3 P. M. on the Thursday on which the University opens, and
register his full name, home address, and Princeton address.

After the Christmas vacation each undergraduate student
shall report at the Registrar's office, before 10 A. M. on the
Thursday on which the vacation ends and register his name.

In every case of neglect or delay in registration three
absences will be recorded against the student for each day
that the registration is delayed. Serious cases will be pun-
ished by such an increase in the number of absences recorded
as the Committee on Attendance may direct, by putting the
student on probation, by suspension, or otherwise as the
Faculty may determine.

Any absence from a class exercise incurred in the three
days before a vacation or before or after a recess shall count
as equivalent to two absences incurred at any other time.

CHOICE OF ELECTIVES.
It is very desirable to obtain from each student his choice of
electives as early as possible, so that the rolls of the elective
classes can be made out before the opening of the term. The
students are therefore requested to report to the Registrar
their choice of electives for the first term of the next academic
year on or before the day on which the second term examina-
tions begin. Changes which the student desires to make in his

11

choice may be made by letter to the Registrar in the summer
vacation. No changes will be allowed after the beginning of
the first term.

The choice of electives for the second term must be reported
to the Registrar on or before the third Monday in January.

The penalty for delay in reporting the full list of electives
for the term shall be" the record of one absence each day for
each elective not reported until the list is complete; this delay
to be reckoned from the registration at the beginning of the
academic year or from the third Monday in January. Serious
cases shall be punished more severely as the Faculty may
determine. If the student enter any elective class after exer-
cises with that class have been held, he shall be reported by
the instructor as absent from those exercises.

IV. REGULATION OF ATTENDANCE.

COMMITTEE ON ATTENDANCE.

1. The Committee on Attendance has charge of all matters
pertaining to attendance on chajDcl and class exercises. It
meets every Thursday from 1:30 p. m., to 2:30 p. m., in the
Faculty room, University Offices

DIVISIONS OF THE YEAR.

2. In the regulation of attendance, the academic year shall
be di^'ided into four (quarters.

EXCUSES.

3. Requests for permission to be absent from Princeton
should be presented to the Committee on Attendance, or in
special cases, to the class officer or the Dean of the Faculty.

4. Excuses for absence must always be presented in person
to the Committee on Attendance. To be accepted they must
be presented (or at least left at the Registrar's Office) not
later than the second meeting of the Committee after the
return of the student to his academic exercises.

12

5. Students who absent themselves from town over Sunday
and who desire that the absence from chapel thus incm-red
shall be excused must file a statement in the Registrar's Office
on a form provided by the office, in the week immediately
preceding or following the absence. Such excuses shall not be
granted more than iivice in any one quarter, and further ab-
sences thus incurred will be counted on the gratuity. No
excuse will be granted unless application is made within a
week of the absence. Students may, however, go home over
Sunday, and absences so incurred will be excused on filing at
the Registrar's Office, on a special form provided by the office,
a request hy parent or guardian that such absence be excused.
Such excuses to be valid must be presented in the week pre-
ceding or folloAving the absence.

6. Absences necessarily incurred by the University musical
clubs in connection with a tour taken in vacation by per-
mission of the Faculty, will be excused on recommendation of
the Committee on Non athletic organizations.

7. Absences necessarily incurred by the University athletic
teams in connection with intercollegiate games will be excused
on recommendation of the Committee on Outdoor Sports.

ATTENDANCE ON CHAPEL EXERCISES.

8. Every undergraduate student is required to attend morn-
ing prayers in the chapel and the stated services on Sunday
unless excused by the President or Faculty. If the student is
irregular in his attendance notice will be sent to his parent
or guardian. Wlien his absences in any quarter exceed a cer-
tain number (18 for Seniors and Juniors, 14 for Sophomores,
Freshmen, and Specials), he becomes liable to discipline, which
in ordinary cases shall be suspension.

9. If, at the end of the first quarter in each term, the stu-
dent's absences from the chajiel are less than the limit above
fixed, the difference, or G if the difference be greater than 6,
will be added to the limit fixed for the second quarter in that
term to determine the number which renders the student
liable to discipline.

13

10. If the student's absences in any quarter exceed the limit
and discipline is inflicted, any further irregularity in attend-
ance renders him liable to further discipline at the discretion
of the committee; and a number of absences, not exceeding
the number incurred in excess of the limit, may be charged
against him at the beginning of the next quarter.

ATTENDANCE ON CLASS EXERCISES.

11. Every undergraduate student is required to attend the
scheduled exercises of his class. When his absences in any
quarter exceed a certain number (10 for Seniors and Juniors, 8
for Sophomores, Freshmen, and Specials), he becomes liable
to discipline, which in ordinary cases shall be the imposition
of extra work, though other penalties may be imposed at the
discretion of the committee. After the first penalty has been
imposed, any further irregularity in attendance in that
quarter renders the student liable to suspension.

12. If a student is irregular in his attendance on the ex-
ercises of any instructor, the instructor may impose extra
work; and, in case the absences exceed one-sixth of the ex-
ercises with that instructor, the student will be debarred from
the regular examination. A student thus debarred from ex-
amination shall be dealt with according to the regulations for
conditioned students.

PUBLIC WORSHIP

Prayers are offered in Marquand Chapel every week-day
morning.

Divine service, under the superintendence of the President,
is held in Marquand Chapel, on Sunday, at 11 o'clock A. M.

Permission to attend divine service elsewhere than in the
chapel, on special occasions, is granted on application to the
President. For permission to attend regularly one of the
churches of the town on Sunday morning, a written request
from the parent or guardian of the applicant must be pre-
sented to the President.

14

MODE OF CONDUCTING EXAMINATIONS.

All wiitten examinations and. written recitations are con-
ducted under the honor system. A student is not watched
during an examination by any officer of the University, but
he is required to write on his paper a pledge that he has been
guilty of no dislionesty or irregularity in connection with the
examination.

The administration of the honor system is in the hands of
a student committee under whose rules it is the recognized
duty of every student to report to the committee any evidence
of dishonesty in examination that may come under his ob-
servation. If after investigation of such evidence the com-
mittee finds a student gviilty of dishonesty, it reports his case
to the Faculty with a recommendation that he be finally dis-
missed from the University.

REGULATIONS RESPECTING CONDITIONS AND
ABSENCE FROM EXAMINATION.

I.

Conditions are incurred:

1. By failure to satisfy the requirements of any coiu'se.
The requirements of a course include both the term work and
the examination.

2. By exclusion from an examination.

A student who has unexeused absences amounting to more
than one-sixth of the exercises of any course, shall be excluded
by the instructor from the examination in that course.

3. By absence from an examination.

Absence from an examination, due to whatever cause, is
counted as a condition if the term grade in the subject is
below the passing mark. Every absence from an examination
is counted as a condition unless the student presents to the
Committee on Examinations and Standing satisfactory evi-
dence that tha absence was unavoidable. In all cases of absence
from an examination, the deficiency must be made up as if it were
a condition.

15

11.

1. A student who, at the end of a term, has conditions
amounting to half of a term's work or more, may not gradu-
ate with his class. In applying this rule, not only conditions
of that term are counted., but also conditions of a year's
standing or more, and all entrance conditions not removed by
the beginning of Sophomore year. Each entrance condition is
counted as equivalent to a condition in one hour of college
work.

2. A student of the Department of Civil Engineering thus
deficient, or a Freshman who at the end of the first term,
fails in half of his work or more, may, after the lapse of a
whole term, and with the permission of the Faculty, enter the
next lower class.

.3. Any other student, except a Senior, thus deficient, may,
after the lapse of a whole term and with the permission of
the Faculty, either enter the next lower class, or re-enter
college with an arrangement of studies which will make it
possible for him to meet the requirements for his degree by
the February after the graduation of his class.

4. A student thus deficient at the end of the first term of
Senior year may, with the permission of the Faculty, continue
with his class during the second term, with an arrangement
of studies which will make it possible for him to meet the
requirements for his degree by the February after the gradu-
ation of his class.

5. A Senior who, at the end of the Senior final examinations,
has conditions, will have an opportunity to be re-examined be-
fore Commencement unless his conditions amount to half of
a term's work or more. In applying this rule all conditions,
of whatever term, and also all entrance conditions, are
counted. If he then removes all his conditions, he may be
recommended to receive his degi'ee with his class. No further
opportunity will be given him until the next academic year
to remove his conditions and thus qualify himself for his
degree.

16
111.

Examinations for the removal of conditions occur as fol-
lows :

1. For the removal of entrance conditions opportunities are
given in December, during the last week before the Christmas
vacation, and also at the regular entrance examinations in
June and September.

2. For the removal of conditions incurred at the end of the
first term, examinations are held (1) on the days immediately
preceding the spring recess, and (2) during the week of the
opening of the University in September.

3. For the removal of conditions incurred at the end of the
second term, examinations are held during the week of the
opening of the University in September.

4. There are no other opportunities for the removal of a
condition by examination, except at the examination period
corresponding to the one when the condition was originally
incurred, and then only by previous arrangement with the
Committee on Examinations and Standing.

5. A condition in an elective course may also be removed
by taking and satisfying the requirements of an extra elective
course, of the same number of hours and of the same cur-
riculum year. But only one such extra course may be taken
in any term.

IV.
A fee of $5.00 will be charged each year for each condition
remaining after the September examinations for the removal
of conditions. This does not apply to entering students.

VI. USE OF LIBRARY.

The Library is open from 8 A. M. until 10 p. M. during term
time, and from 9 a. m. until 1 p. m. in vacation.

Books may be drawn by all officers and students of the Uni-
versity and Theological Seminary, and by others having special
permission. The number of books which may be taken is lim-
ited to three in the case of students, with the exception of

17

Seniors, wlio may take five. Officers, Fellows, and Graduate
students may take any reasonable number. Books may be
kept by undergraduates for two weeks, by Fellows and Graduate
students for four weeks, and by Officers for any reasonable time.
All books may be renewed when due, unless wanted by some
one else.

Fines are charged at the rate of two cents a day on all books
kept over time. If an overdue book is wanted at the Library
for any reason, it may be sent for, and a charge of ten cents for
messenger made. Postal cards are sent to remind of books over-
due only when the books are wanted by others. No books can be.
drawn, nor will any recommendation for a degree be made while
there are unpaid fines.

VII. SECRET SOCIETIES.

1. All secret societies, except those publicly sanctioned by the
authorities of the University, are strictly prohibited.

2. At his matriculation each student is required to sign the
following pledge: "We, the undersigned, do individually for
ourselves promise, without any mental reservation, that we will
have no connection whatever with any secret society, nor be
present at the meetings of any secret society of this or any
other college, so long as we are members of Princeton Uni-
versity ; it being understood that this promise has no reference
to the American Whig and Cliosophic Societies. We also de-
clare that we regard ourselves bound to keep this promise and
on no account whatever to violate it."

3. The Faculty is required by a resolution of the Trustees
"promptly to dismiss any student known to be a member of a
prohibited secret society."

VIII. HAZING.

1. Acts or attempts at acts of a brutal character, or involving
the restraint of the liberty of any student by one or more other

18

students, or the invasion of his private rights, and all proceed-
ings in the nature of intimidation or coercion, shall be included
under the general designation of "hazing."

2. Offenses coming under the above designation shall be pun-
ished by dismissal from the University, or by suspension for a
longer or shorter period at the discretion of the Faculty. In
cases of dismission, no student so dismissed shall be allowed to
return within one year. Flagrant offenses of this character
may be punished by expulsion.

3. Any student who shall incite another to commit a breach
of this regulation, or shall directly or indirectly encourage or
procure the committal of an offense, or shall countenance by his
continued presence or otherwise, any such offense, when com-
mitted, shall be dealt with by the Faculty according to the
gravity of the offense.

Note. — In 1899 tlie students of the University in mass meet-
ing passed resolutions looking to the abolition of hazing, and
instituted a committee of students for the enforcement of the
same.

This committee is empowered by the student body to summon
and examine those accused of violating the terms of the resolu-
tions, and, where guilt is established, to report the case with the
evidence to the f'aculty for action.

IX. CONDUCT. MISCELLANEOUS REGULATIONS.

1. All students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner
becoming to scholars and gentlemen, under penalty of such disci-
pline as in the judgment of the Faculty, through its proper com-
mittee or officer, may be appi-opriate to the offense.

2. No student shall bring, or cause to be brought into college
or keep in his room, any spirituous or fermented liquors ; nor
shall he frequent any place where intoxicating liquors are sold
as a beverage.

3. The use of distilled or fermented drinks by the students at
eating clubs and boarding houses, upon any occasion or pretext

19

whatever, is prohibited. Students will not be permitted to board
where this rule is violated.

4. Lying, profanity, drunkenness, theft, uncleanness, gambling,
or other gross offenses, shall be punished according to the nature
and gravity of the offense.

5. All practices inconsistent with the due observance of the
Lord's Day are expressly prohibited.

6. If any student shall refuse to appear personally before any
oflBcer of the University, when required so to do, he shall be
punished for contempt of authority.

7. Any student who may be required so to do, shall open the
door of his room to any officer of the University, and if he re-
fuse, the officer may break it open, and the expense of repairing
it shall be defrayed by the student, who shall also be punished
for disobedience.

8. No student shall be permitted to keep a dog in any room in
the University buildings.

9. All boisterous noise in the entries or rooms of the Uni-
versity at any time is strictly prohibited; and every student
shall be required to preserve order and decorum in his own
room, and shall be responsible for all disorder therein.

10. Kindling of bonfires (except with the permission of the Dean
of the Faculty), discharging of firearms, and disorderly or unau-
thorized gatherings on the University grounds or elsewhere, are
strictly forbidden.

11. All students present at gatherings, or processions which
commit any disorder or injury of property, or in any way molest
persons, residences, or premises, shall receive such penalties as
the gravity of each particular case may require.

12. In all cases of wanton injury or wilful destruction of
property of the University, the offender, if discovered, shall pay

be assessed equally on all the students, or, in special cases, upon
such portion of them as the Faculty may determine.

execution of the civil laws shall be severely punished.

X. DISCIPLINE AND PENALTIES.

1. Violations of the Rules of the University may be dealt with
in the following ways: fines; pensums of extra work; private
admonition or rebuke by the President, Dean of the Faculty, or
other officers of the University; admonition before the Faculty,
or in such other way as the Faculty may direct ; disorder marks ;
letters to parents or guardians; placing on a general or a last
probation ; suspension from the privileges of the University for
a definite or indefinite time; dismission; expulsion, subject to
the conditions hereinafter specified.

2. Private admonition or rebuke may be administered by any
officer as he may judge necessary. For improper conduct, irreg-

21

ular attendance, or deficient scholarship, letters may be sent to
parents or guardians, as ordered by the Faculty or ita Com-
mittees, or at the discretion of the Dean of the Faculty. Sim-
ilarly in more serious cases, a student may be put under sus-
pension; but suspension for a period longer than two weeks,
dismission, and expulsion are to be determined by vote of the
Faculty. The repeated commission of offenses whether the
same or different in kind, is always to be regarded and treated
as an aggravation.

3. The punishment of expulsion shall not be inflicted unless
sanctioned by the committee of Trustees on Morals and Disci-
pline. In the meantime the Faculty may dismiss or suspend
the offender, and exclude him from all connection with the
University.

4. If any student shall refuse to remove from the University
premises on being dismissed or suspended by the Faculty, the
Faculty is authorized to cause him to be immediately removed,
and if necessary to call in the aid of the civil authority.

5. No student suspended, dismissed, or expelled from the
University shall be permitted to enter the University buildings,
or come on the University grounds without permission of the
President or Dean of the Faculty.

6. It may sometimes happen that a student may become an
unworthy, corrupting, and dangerous member of the institution,
and yet it may not be practicable to establish the fact by formal
and specified proof. In such cases it shall be the duty of the
Faculty after due admonition to secure the removal of said
student in such a manner as it shall judge that his own best
interests or the good of the institution may require.
