28 College of William and Mary
REGISTRATION AFTER VACATIONS
On fhe first week-day after each vacation, every student is
required to register in the office of the Registrar between the hours
of 9 A. M. and i P. M. Any student failing to register at this
time, unless the delay is due to illness or other providential cause,
will be required to pay the delayed registration fee of three
dollars before he can enter classes, and accept whatever requirement
his professors may impose in his work. If the delay is due
to illness of the student or other providential cause, the President
may waive the delayed registration fee and notify the professors
that the delay has been satisfactorily explained.
DISCIPLINE
The discipline of the college is in the hands of the President
and faculty. Its object is to maintain regularity and order in
the institution and to inculcate in the students the spirit of honor.
At William and Mary the "Honor System" had its beginning,
and its spirit prevails in such force that disorder and unbecoming
conduct are rare in the student life. When, however, the faculty
finds it necessary to resort to other means of securing the desired
end, probation, suspension or expulsion is resorted to, according
to the gravity of the offense.
The faculty believe that it is a duty they owe to parents to
insist upon the withdrawal of all students not profiting by their
stay at college ; and when non-resident students are permitted
to withdraw, or are dropped from the roll, or are suspended, they
must forthwith leave Williamsburg and the vicinity. Until this
requirement is fulfilled they remain subject to the authority of
the institution and may be expelled. In every case of discipline
by the faculty the student's parents or guardian is informed of
the action.
Hazing or subjecting a student to any form of hurniliating
treatment is strictly forbidden and renders the offender liable to
expulsion.
