GENERAL REGULATIONS.

ADMISSION.

1. Applicants must report to the President for matriculation within twenty-four hours after their arrival.
2. Applicants will be referred by the President to the proper Professors for examination. When passed by the Professors, they will be assigned by the President to their respective courses of study.
3. Students of the preceding year must report promptly to the President for assignment to their proper classes. They will be held responsible for attendance upon Collegiate exercises from the opening day of the session.
4. No applicant or student of the previous year will be matriculated until his fees have been paid, as shown by the Treasurer's receipt.

COURSES OF STUDY.

All students must elect one of the regular courses of study. Elective or irregular courses will only be allowed by the President for extraordinary reasons, and, in the case of minors, upon the written request of parents or guardian.

ATTENDANCE.

1. Punctual attendance upon every Collegiate duty will be rigidly enforced.
2. Any unexcused absence will be considered a breach of discipline and reported to the parent or guardian as a delinquency. It will also be counted as zero in the class mark.
3. Students must attend morning prayers every day except Sunday, and the full morning service in some one of the village churches on Sunday.
4. Leaving the lecture room, chapel or church without permission will be counted an unexcused absence, and may render the student liable to more severe discipline by the Faculty.
5. A student entering a class-room after his name has been called, must submit an excuse in the usual form. If not accepted, the absence shall stand as an unexcused class absence.
6. An unexcused absence from chapel, church or any class exercise will subject the student to the admonition of the President. The repetition of such offense will subject him to such further discipline as the Faculty may order.
7. Unavoidable necessity can alone excuse absence from examination. If sickness is pleaded, the student must be specially excused beforehand by the Surgeon. An unexcused absence will be counted as zero in the examination mark, and will be dealt with by the Faculty as an offense of the gravest character.
8. Students are not permitted to leave the College without the permission of the President. Applications for leave of absence must be submitted in advance to the President through the Commandant, and also, in case of minors, must be accompanied with the written consent of parent or guardian.
9. Students reported absent from any military duty are required to submit through the Commandant of Cadets an excuse in writing, according to the provisions of Par. 92, Art. XIV, of these Regulations.
10. Students absent from any academic duty during any week must submit a written excuse to the President.

Students reported as absent from classes on any day during the week, must submit in writing an explanation or excuse for the absences. Written excuses must be dropped in the box of the Administration Building or may be handed directly to the Secretary.

11. Students whose names are carried on sick reports must show themselves really indisposed by remaining in their rooms. In the case of students continuously absent from duty on the plea of sickness, the Faculty will be constrained to advise their parents to withdraw them, as their ill-health will necessarily prevent their keeping up in their classes and insure failure in study. The Faculty are unwilling to hold themselves responsible for the want of progress of such students.
12. The College authorities can not recognize the right of parents or guardians to detain or withdraw students from any Collegiate duty except for reasons approved by the President.
13. Letters of honorable dismissal will only be granted upon the written request of parent or guardian.

Students wishing to withdraw from the College during the session, must, along with their resignation, submit, if they are not of age, the written consent of parent or guardian. No resignation, however, will be accepted until the student is prepared and ready to leave College immediately upon the acceptance of the resignation. Until such acceptance the student submitting the resignation will be strictly held responsible for attendance upon all Academic and Military duties.

GRADATION.

1. The term standing or grade of a student in any department shall be determined, the scale being 100, by adding together the average of his marks for recitations and other class exercises, and his examination mark, and dividing their sum by two; provided, however, that neither factor shall increase the other more than 10. The general average for the term will be the average of his grades in his several studies or departments, including the Military Department. His final standing or graduating mark shall be the average of his grades in all the studies of his entire course.
2. The grades shall be as follows: Highest Distinction, 95-100; Distinction, 90-95; Proficiency, 75-90; Pass, 60-75; Condition, 40-60; Deficiency, 0-40.

In the Senior Year, however, higher averages are required, as follows: Highest Distinction, 97-100; Distinction, 93-97; Proficiency, 85-93; Pass, 75-85; Condition, 55-75; Deficiency, 0-55.

3. Students deficient must take the study over. Students conditioned have the right to re-examination, but only at the time appointed for the regular final or entrance examinations. On such re-examinations the grade of 60 must be attained. Seniors conditioned at any final examination during the session are subject to this regulation and will only be permitted to offer for re-examination at the opening of the following session or at the succeeding intermediate or final examinations. Students proficient or distinguished in their general average for the session are published in the honor list at Commencement and in the annual catalogue; provided, however, that a pass is attained in every study and, also, the grade of proficiency or distinction in at least half their studies for the session.
4. Graduates attaining highest distinction in the average of all their studies since matriculation will receive Highest Honors; those attaining the grade of distinction will receive Honors; those attaining the grade of proficiency will receive Distinctions.
5. Students will be graded and published by the foregoing divisions. Individual marks will not be reported. The names in each division will be published alphabetically. No grades shall be communicated to the students or posted, except by order of the President.

EXAMINATIONS.

1. The intermediate examinations are held at the close of the first term; the final at the close of the session. When the subject continues throughout the session, a pass on each term is required for its completion; provided, however, that a deficiency in the first term may be made good by an equal excess in the second.
2. Students excused from an intermediate examination must be examined by the Professor before the beginning of the final examinations, the appointment of the day to be approved by the President. Students excused from a final examination shall be re-examined at the opening of the next session.
3. Conditions outstanding at the close of the session must be made good at the opening of the next session. Absence from or failure to pass such re-examinations, will compel the student to take the subject over, only one examination being allowed.
4. The first four days of the session are set apart for entrance, condition, and deferred examinations. A student with outstanding condition or deferred examination, absent from his examinations appointed for either of these days, shall forfeit the privilege of examination and take the study over.
5. All special examinations must be of the same character as the original examinations.

MONTHLY REPORTS.

Every Professor shall report monthly to the Faculty students whose work and standing are unsatisfactory in his department. A student reported as unsatisfactory in more than one study (the Military Department being counted as a study), or in the same study more than once during the term, shall be admonished. The attendance and standing of the students shall be communicated monthly to parents or guardians.

DISCIPLINE.

1. Offenses are any acts, omissions, or habits unfavorable to the peculiar duties of a student, or incompatible with the obligation of morality and religion, or inconsistent with the propriety, decorum; or courtesy which should always characterize the gentleman. As the end of the College is to train a body of gentlemen in knowledge, virtue, religion, and refinement, whatever has a tendency to defeat this end, or is inconsistent with it, shall be treated and punished as an offense, whether expressly mentioned in the laws or not. The sense of decency, propriety, and right which every honorable young man carries in his own bosom, shall be taken as a sufficient means of knowing these things, and he who pleads ignorance in such matters is unfit to be a member of the College. The Board of Visitors and Faculty require the students to maintain the character of refined and elevated Christian gentlemen. They would be ashamed of any man who would excuse breaches of morality, propriety, and decorum on the plea that the acts in question were not specially condemned in the College code. They earnestly desire that the student may be influenced in good conduct and diligence in study by higher motives than the coercion of law; and they mainly rely for the success of the institution, as a place of education, on moral and religious principles, a sense of duty, and the generous feelings which belong to young men engaged in honorable pursuits.
2. The Board of Visitors and Faculty strongly condemn the practice known as hazing, in any shape or form, as inconsistent with the character of a student of a collegiate institution of good standing, and as opposed to the provisions of Regulation 1 under this head. Any student engaging in such practice, involving any indignity, either threatened or implied, to another student or applicant, shall be subject to expulsion.
3. The President, with the assent of the Faculty, may request any parent or guardian to remove from the College any student, his son or ward, who, in the opinion of the Faculty, is not fulfilling, or is not likely to fulfill, the purposes of his residence in the College, and the student may be allowed to withdraw without censure.
4. The President, with the assent of the Faculty, may require the withdrawal of any student whose general deportment and conduct is irregular, improper and offensive, or likely to be of bad example to the students, or who in their opinion is, from any cause, an unfit member of the institution, and send him away accordingly.
5. All cases calling for admonition by the President or discipline of the Faculty shall be at once reported to the parents or guardian of the Students concerned.

ATHLETICS.

The President is directed and empowered by the Board of Visitors to enforce the following rules in regard to athletics:

1. Only regularly matriculated students or officers of the College are permitted to be members of any College team or to take part in inter-collegiate games or contests.
2. The football and baseball teams may, at the discretion of the President, be allowed, for the purpose of engaging in inter-collegiate contests with neighboring colleges, leaves of absence for not more than four days during the session for either team.
3. Students under twenty-one years of age will be allowed to engage in any inter-collegiate games involving absence from the College, only upon express written permission from their parents or guardians addressed to the President.
4. Only students belonging to the teams as members or substitutes can be granted leaves of absence to accompany the teams on their trips, and only then at the discretion of the President.
5. Whenever the monthly reports of students acting as members of the teams or substitutes, shall show neglect of study or unexcused or unnecessarily prolonged absence from classes or other duties, such students shall be required to withdraw from the teams.
6. The College teams can only be permitted to engage in inter-collegiate contests with teams from other institutions of learning. Exceptions, however, can be made, at the discretion of the President, in favor of practice games upon the College grounds.
7. Trainers or experts may be employed for practice on the College grounds, but only with the written permission of the President. Such trainer, or expert, when not a regularly matriculated student or officer of the College, will not be permitted to live in the College.

GLASS BREAKING AND OTHER INJURIES TO COLLEGE PROPERTY.

Students carelessly or wantonly breaking window glass or otherwise injuring College property will be most severely dealt with by the Faculty, and, at the same time, assessed for the damages.

HOLIDAYS.

On Thanksgiving Day and Lee's and Washington's Birthday only classes and drills will be suspended. The other roll-calls will go on as usual and all military regulations continue in force.

Twelve days—a more liberal provision than is made in the majority of Colleges—are allowed for the Christmas holidays. This time will not be extended for any student. Parents sending their sons to this institution send them subject to this regulation, and are advised not to endeavor to interfere with the work of the College by asking for its remission in favor of their sons.

DINING HALL.

1. The Dining Hall is managed and run by the College authorities.
2. Such rate of board is charged as actually to cover the running expenses of the Hall. This rate is, for the present, fixed at $9.00 a month. Whenever such rate proves insufficient to cover the cost of good board, the price will be raised; whenever it proves more than sufficient, the charge will be reduced.
3. The Steward or Manager of the Hall ranks as a College officer.
4. All undergraduate students are required to board at the Dining Hall.
5. The requirement for payment of board monthly in advance will be strictly enforced. No exception will be made. Non-payment will, therefore, result in the enforced withdrawal of the student from College.
6. A student boarding in the Hall will be held strictly responsible for breakage or loss caused by him to the property of the Hall. The cost of these damages will be added to his board bill for the next month. Where such damages can not be directly traced to the individual, they will be charged against the students assigned to the table at which they occur, and the amount will be charged pro rata on their board bills for the next month.

LAUNDRY.

All undergraduate students must have their washing done at the College Laundry.

1. Each student's wash must be in a plainly marked clothes bag, the pieces having the owner's name stamped or written upon them. In addition, they will carry a laundry number. Check lists may be kept by the student or sent along with the clothes; in the bag, each week. The count by the manager will be decisive as to the number of pieces received at the Laundry. Should a discrepancy be found between his count and the check list sent in, notice of the same will be at once communicated to the student.
2. All clothing must be delivered at the Marshal's office before breakfast roll call Monday morning. No wash will be accepted for the week after Monday.
3. The clothes will be returned by the Laundry to the Marshal's office not later than 4:30 p. m., Saturday.
4. The Laundry charge of one dollar and twenty-five cents ($1.25) a month must be promptly paid monthly in advance to the College Treasurer.
5. The bag sent in by a student must contain only articles belonging to himself.
6. Each student must send in his clothes weekly, as the Laundry will not accept bi-monthly washing.
7. The Treasurer will not receive payments for less time than one month.

UNIFORMS.

Students are required to have their uniforms made, altered, mended, etc., by the Uniform Department of the College.

All military supplies, fittings, etc., must be purchased of the same Department.

1. The uniform, consisting of blouse, pants, and cap, will be furnished for the present at $18.00. Two pairs of white pants and a white cap, costing $4.75, will be required in the spring.
2. One-third of the price charged must be paid at the time the order is given, the balance upon the delivery of the uniform.

2. By action of the Board of Visitors no one will be allowed to matriculate as a student of the institution who does not submit a receipt from the College Treasurer showing the pre-payment of all College dues.
3. Any student in arrears for the fees for the second term for a period of more than ten days after the beginning of the term, will be dropped.

REGULATIONS

FOR THE

Government of Students in the Department of Military Science and Tactics.

ARTICLE I.
MILITARY DISCIPLINE.

1. Inferiors are required to obey strictly, and to execute promptly, the lawful orders of their superiors appointed over them.
2. Military authority will be exercised with firmness, kindness, and justice. Punishments must conform to regulations, and should follow the offense as promptly as circumstances will permit.
3. Superiors are forbidden to injure those under them by tyrannical or capricious conduct, or by abusive language.

ARTICLE II.
RANK AND PRECEDENCE OF OFFICERS AND NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS.

4. Military rank is that character or quality bestowed on military persons which marks their station, and confers eligibility to exercise command in military service within the limits prescribed by regulations.
5. The following are the grades of military rank:

(1) Captain.	(6) First Sergeant.
(2) First Lieutenant.	(7) Sergeant.
(3) Second Lieutenant.	(8) Corporal.
(4) Sergeant-Major.	(9) Lance Corporal.
(5) Quartermaster-Sergeant.

6. Officers and non-commissioned officers in the same grade take precedence according to date of appointment.

ARTICLE III.
COMMAND.

7. Command is exercised by virtue of office, or by special assignment by competent authority.
8. The duties assigned to an officer in these Regulations devolve upon an officer acting in his place.
9. An officer in temporary command shall not annul or alter the standing orders of the permanent commander without authority from Commandant of Cadets.

ARTICLE IV.
ORGANIZATION.

For the purpose of instruction in Military Science and Tactics the students of the Institution are organized into a Battalion of Infantry, a Light Battery of Artillery, a Battalion Band, a Battalion Staff, and a Signal Corps.

The officers and non-commissioned officers of the organizations are appointed and assigned at the close of each session for the next session. They are responsible for the performance of their duties, as prescribed in these Regulations, from the opening day of the session through Commencement Day of the same session.

Old students returning to College must report at all formations, to the organizations they belonged to the preceding session, if not matriculated. New students who have not matriculated will be temporarily assigned to the different organizations by the officers present at the formation.

All Military Regulations will be in force, beginning at Reveille on the opening day of the session.

APPOINTMENT AND PROMOTION OF OFFICERS AND NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS.

10. The officers and non-commissioned officers of the organization are appointed by the President on the recommendation of the Commandant of Cadets, and are selected from those students who best combine the qualities of high moral character, military bearing, high class standing, and general good deportment. This applies more especially to the original appointment of cadets as corporals. If a cadet has the required military qualifications, is loyal to the military authorities, a considerable falling back in the Academic Department will not affect his rank, provided he is satisfactory in that department.
11. As a rule, Commissioned Officers will be taken from the Senior, Sergeants from the Junior, and Corporals from the Sophomore Class. Preference will always be given to students who are in one of the regular courses, and who are proficient in their classes and have the fewest demerits. A student who has once accepted an office, by signing the written agreement, obligates himself to continue faithfully to discharge the duties attaching to it till the close of the session, and will not be permitted to resign it except for reasons entirely satisfactory to the President and Commandant. The resignation of his office by a minor will usually not be considered without first placing all the circumstances of the case before his parent or guardian.

The following Regulations in regard to the promotion of officers and non-commissioned officers are observed and enforced:

(1) All candidates for promotion are required to stand a physical and mental examination. Moral fitness is also carefully considered.

(2) All examinations are conducted by the Commandant of Cadets.

(3) The physical examination is based upon the Surgeon's report of sickness in the candidate's case during the nine months preceding his appearance for examination, and upon the candidate's military appearance and bearing. Should the candidate fail to come up to the requirements in the physical examinations, he will not be examined mentally.

The moral feature of the examination includes the official record of the candidate (especially demerits) during the period of his connection with the College.

(4) If the candidate is physically and morally qualified for promotion, he proceeds with the mental examination, which is sub-divided into two classes—written and parade.

MENTAL EXAMINATION FOR CANDIDATES FOR A COMMISSION IN THE INFANTRY.

Written.—United States Infantry Drill Regulations to include the Squad, Company and Battalion Drill in close order, and the Squad and Company Drill in extended order.

Parade.—United States Infantry Drill Regulations to include the Squad and Company in close order, and the Squad in extended order.

MENTAL EXAMINATION FOR CANDIDATES FOR A COMMISSION IN THE ARTILLERY.

Written.—United States Light Artillery Drill Regulations to include the drill of a Detachment and Battery dismounted (including modifications in the subject due to the use of M. L. Rifles).

Parade.—United States Light Artillery Drill Regulations to include the drill of a Detachment dismounted (including modifications in the subject clue to the use of M. L. Rifles).

MENTAL EXAMINATION FOR CANDIDATES FOR PROMOTION TO NON-COMMISSIONED GRADES IN THE INFANTRY.

Written.—United States Infantry Drill Regulations to include the Squad and Company drill in close order, and the Squad drill in extended order.

Parade.—United States Infantry Drill Regulations to include the Squad drill in close and extended order.

MENTAL EXAMINATION FOR CANDIDATES FOR PROMOTION TO NON-COMMISSIONED GRADES IN THE ARTILLERY.

Written.—United States Light Artillery Drill Regulations to include the drill of a Detachment dismounted (including modifications in the subject due to the use of M. L. Rifles).

Parade.—United States Light Artillery Drill Regulations to include the drill of a Detachment dismounted on the field (including the modifications in the subject due to the use of M. L. Rifles).

(5) Each student will be required to supply himself with a copy of the U. S. Drill Regulations and Manual of Guard Duty. These books will be for sale at the Book Room. Recitations in the Tactics will be held from time to time.

(6) The physical, moral, and mental standing of the candidate determines the position to which he shall be promoted.

(7) Officers and non-commissioned officers of the Band are required to stand the physical (including moral) examination only.

(8) These regulations do not apply to original appointments of Corporals, which are made as heretofore, according to class standing and general deportment, but apply to original appointments in all other grades. (By an original appointment is meant the eligibility of a cadet serving in ranks as a private to appointment as a Commissioned Officer, Sergeant or Corporal.)

(9) The rule that Commissioned Officers be taken from the Senior, Sergeants from the Junior, and Corporals from the Sophomore Class is, as far as practicable, observed. Should, however, the necessity arise the authorities will appoint these officers from any class.

(10) It follows, therefore, from the preceding paragraphs that a student in any class holding an office and failing to rise to the next higher class, is not to expect to be promoted as of right with his own class. It lies entirely with the authorities whether or not he shall even retain his office at all. If he does, it will be by virtue of a new appointment, subject in every respect to the foregoing regulations. Ordinarily, he ,will not receive his same appointment, unless he is exceptionally efficient in the Military Department.

(11) As a rule, these examinations are held during the last weeks of the session.

(12) To fill a vacancy occurring during the session, an examination may be ordered at any time by the Commandant) with the approval of the President.

(13) The authorities reserve the right in all cases to select the Senior and other Captains and Adjutant, and the First Sergeants of companies from any member of the Senior or Junior classes respectively, or, if necessary, from the two lower classes, without regard to the rank previously held by the cadets so selected.

(14) Officers for the Artillery will be selected from members of that organization who have served in it for not less than one session. Hereafter, a similar rule will be observed in regard to the appointment of officers for the Band. A cadet officer in the other organizations wishing to enter the Band will therefore waive the right to his original relative rank, his name appearing last on the roster of Band officers of the same kind, or grade.

(15) During bad weather, and on days when drill can not be held, the Captains will be required to assemble such noncommissioned officers as the Commandant may direct, for theoretical instruction in Tactics. The other officers and non-commissioned officers will be assembled by the Commandant and Assistant, for instruction on the same day.

ARTICLE V.
TRANSFERS.

12. Transfers will be made by the Commandant of Cadets upon written application of the party desiring the change.

Transfers will be made only for cogent reasons, which must be set forth in the application.

ARTICLE VI.

15. All officers salute each other in making or receiving official visits. When under arms the salute is made with the sword, if drawn; otherwise with the hand.
16. On official occasions, officers when indoors and under arms, do not uncover, but salute with the sword, if drawn; otherwise with the hand. If not under arms, they uncover and stand at attention, but do not salute, except when making or receiving reports.

Students are not allowed to leave the Dining Hall for the purpose of going elsewhere for meals. Complaints against a meal will be investigated by the proper authorities. Well founded complaints will always receive careful attention. Capricious or unwarranted complaints will subject the student to discipline. Any complaint will be first made to the Superintendent of the Table, who will report it to the Superintendent of the Dining Hall. In no case will a private make complaint to the Superintendent of the Hall during a meal.

     

    A student leaving the Dining Hall by permission will, besides reporting to his First Sergeant, report to the Barracks Orderly at the Officer of the Day's room.

72. (c) Members of the different athletic teams who may be excused from Retreat must enter and leave the Dining Hall together. In no case will they be allowed to enter or leave the Dining Hall before the Battalion. On days of no games or practises, they must attend Retreat with their organization. After finishing supper the senior officer belonging to the team (if no military officer belongs to the team, the captain of the team) will form and march the team, as a squad, to barracks at attention, dismissing it on reaching the Officer of the Day's room, where the members, if after Call to Quarters, will enter and report their arrival to the O.

    The waiters will be courteously treated, and complaints against them will be made to the Superintendent of the Dining Hall and by him to the Steward.

76. After finishing their meals, cadets will neatly fold up their napkins and lay them at their respective places at the table and remain in place till the Superintendent gives the command "I.

Should a member of the Board of Visitors or the President enter the dining-room while the Battalion is present the Superintendent of the Dining Hall will call the Battalion to attention and cause it to rise by the commands, "1. Battalion; 2. Attention; 3. Rise!" and will thus hold the Battalion till the officer leaves the room or waives his right to the compliment, when he will give the command "Rest!" at which the cadets will take their seats and resume the meal. Should the Commandant of Cadets or a professor enter the room, he is entitled to the same compliment, except that the Battalion does not rise. This regulation will not be enforced when the officer boards in the Hall, or takes meals there for any length of time.

ARTICLE XII.
THE ADJUTANT, OFFICER OF THE DAY, NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS OF THE GUARD, AND THE BARRACK ORDERLY.

80. (a) The Adjutant is an assistant to the Commandant and has oversight of all formations. He will be present at all formations, reporting the result of the Staff attendance to the Officer of the Day. He will see that the Officer of the Day is present at all formations, these two officers having equal authority in reference to each other. He will report to the Commandant's office each evening at 4:30 for instructions. He will make inspections of Barracks at any time the Commandant may direct, or, at his pleasure. Other duties pertaining to the Adjutant, as well as to the Officer of the Day and all other officers and non-commissioned officers, may not be embodied in these Regulations.
81. (b) Detail.—The Cadet Adjutant will detail a Cadet Officer as Officer of the Day, two non-commissioned officers as Sergeant and Corporal of the Guard, and four privates as Barrack Orderlies every day at Retreat for duty next day and night. Each Saturday at Retreat a Sergeant will also be detailed as Sick Marshal. The details will be made by roster and in accordance with Kennon's Manual of Guard Duty.

The first list will be composed of all Cadet Officers, the second of non-commissioned officers. The third list will be composed of all privates except those of the Senior Class.

As stated above, details are made by roster. However, when an officer, non-commissioned officer, or private is directed to report for duty by the Commandant, Assistant Commandant, Adjutant, or Officer of the Day or Guard, by direction of the Commandant, such officer or private must serve whether his name is the next in the list or not, and independent of the time of day or night he might receive such directions. Failing to comply with this regulation will be reported as "disobedience to orders."

82. (c) If the officer thus detailed be excused from military duty on the day of his tour, he must immediately notify the Adjutant, who will detail the next officer on the roster. This regulation applies also to the Officers of the Guard and privates detailed as Barrack Orderlies.
83. (a) Duties of the Officer of the Day.—The new Officer of the Day will relieve the old Officer of the Day at 4:30 o'clock p. m. each day. Immediately upon assuming the duties of his office he will proceed to examine all property pertaining to the Officer of the Day's office, and all locks and fastenings on the doors and windows, and in case he finds anything out of order, he will report the matter at once to the Marshal. He is responsible for all property in his office. The Officer of the Day is charged with the duty of having all signals, except the first signal for Reveille, sounded at the proper time. He will be present in person at all military formations, and will see that all orders and regulations are properly enforced. He will receive the reports of absentees in each case from the officers in charge of the commands, who will report as absent to the Officer of the Day all officers not accounted for by the First Sergeant or Sergeant who calls the roll, as well as the absentees given him by the First Sergeant. If the Captain of the Command is not present, the Officer of the Day will report as absent all officers of higher rank than the officer in charge of the command, as well as those given him by the First Sergeant. This holds good for all military formations except drill and other formations under arms. He will invariably remain in his office or vicinity at night till after the 12:00 o'clock signal has been sounded; he will then make a general inspection of the Barracks from the front and rear from the outside, and see that all unauthorized lights are extinguished and that the Barracks are quiet. He may then retire, but will be on the alert to suppress any disorder that may occur during the night. At all formations he will, in addition to the regular report, receive the report of the Staff from the Cadet Adjutant. He will make the following regular inspections of Barracks:
    1st. Between 8:30 a. m. and 11 :30 a. m.
    2d. Between 1:30 p. m. and 4:30 p. m.
    3d. Between "Evening Call to Quarters" and 10 :00 p. m.

     

    In addition, he will inspect the Barracks or any part thereof whenever in his judgment it is necessary for the proper performance of his duties, or when ordered by the Commandant to inspect. Between Reveille, and 12:00 midnight, he will remain in his office, except when absent on duty or by necessity, when he will invariably leave the Barrack Orderly in charge of his office. He will not allow his office to be made a loafing place, but may in his discretion allow cadets in his office between class formations and during release from quarters. He will see that the bell is not tampered with, and that the signals on it are properly sounded; in no case will the bell rope be jerked or pulled unnecessarily hard. During his tour he is excused from aU academic and all other military duty.

    The Sergeant and Corporal of the Guard and the Barrack Orderly are his assistants and under his direct orders. He will at all times hold the Barrack Orderly to a strict performance of duty. He will not allow the Barrack Orderly to offer a substitute, nor will he himself offer one, without proper authority. No substitute will be offered or permanent or temporary changes made without authority from the Commandant or Assistant Commandant, or in their absence, from the Cadet Adjutant.

84. (b) The following is the schedule of signals for days except Saturday and Sunday:

All regulations pertaining to room arrangement must be observed at this inspection, the occupant of the room appearing in full uniform with white gloves. Those students to whom arms have been issued will appear with side arms and remain standing at "Attention" while their rooms are being inspected.

Any unauthorized visiting or absence between Tattoo and 12:00, ten demerits; after 12:00 the punishment will be more severe, depending on circumstances.

Greater offenses will be reported to the Faculty for their action.

101. Offenses not mentioned in the foregoing list will be graded according to similar ones mentioned.

An increase of demerits will be made for repetitions of the same offense. Demerits count in making up the monthly grade of students in this department, and in determining the general standing for the year.

Military punishment to consist of extra tours of guard duty will be awarded in addition to demerits for offenses of a serious nature or for continued neglect of military duty.

A private reported as poor (with eleven or more demerits) for any preceding month will be put on extra duty as soon as the number of his demerits exceeds ten. An officer under the same circumstances may be required to sit in confinement or reduced in rank, at the discretion of the Commandant.

For each month during which a student may have received fewer than eight demerits a number of credits shall be awarded him equal to the difference between the number of demerits he actually received and eight, provided the number of demerits received is less than eight. Credits so received will cancel an equal number of demerits awarded for that month.

With the approval of the President a student having an excess of demerits may remove such excess by performing extra tours of guard duty, each hour of such duty removing one demerit.
