Accordingly, the standard term ―student‖ is defined to include all persons who officially: (1) register and enroll on a full-time or part-time basis and (2) who maintain current enrollment status or (3) who may attend any other postsecondary educational institution while matriculating at the Univer- sity. This standard term is generic and applicable for all special, non-credit, certificate, diploma, under- graduate, graduate and law school students. Persons who are not officially enrolled for a particular term (i.e., summer), but who have a continuing relationship with the University are also considered ―students.‖ Information for undergraduate and graduate students is collected conveniently in special sections. General information to support the matriculation of students enrolled in the David A. Clarke School of Law are referenced in the David A. Clarke School of Law Student Handbook: A Guide to Aca- demic Regulations and Requirements, http://www.law.udc.edu/?page=Handbooks. The standards of the Student Code of Conduct, either academic or non-academic, in this publication apply to all groups of students as described above. The provisions of the Student Handbook are not contractual covenants between the University and any member of the University community, as defined in the handbook. The Student Handbook creates no contractual rights obligations between the University and any member of the University community. The University reserves the right to amend the Student Handbook at any time. It is and remains the responsibility of members of the University community to review not only the Student Handbook, but also the University’s website, http://www.udc.edu, for any amendments. If any provision of the Handbook is later determined to be invalid, the resulting invalidity of that provision shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining provisions of the Handbook. THE UNIVERSITY OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA: THE PATHWAY TO EXCELLENCE VISION The University of the District of Columbia will be a diverse, selective, teaching, research, and service university in the land-grant tradition, serving the people of the Washington, D.C. and the Nation.

AMERICAN COLLEGE FRATERNITIES: A DESCKIPTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE SOCIETY SYSTEM IN THE COLLEGES OF THE UNITED STATES, WITH A DETAILED ACCOUNT OF EACH FRATERNITY. BY WM. RAIMOND BAIRD. PHILADELPHIA: J. B. LIPPINCOTT & CO. London : 16 Southampton Street, Covent Garden. 1879. v- \j „ CASE ft Copyright, 1879, by Wm. Baimond Baird. • • • • • • • ••"•• • •• • • •• • ••.••>•••••• • ••• « • •• • ••••• •••••• • ' PEEFAOE. The author of this book is a member of one of the college fraternities. Having occasion to make inquiries in regard to one of these organizations, he was surprised to learn that there was no general repository of facts in regard to them, that few of their members knew more than the names of those with which they had come into contact, and that the majority were ignorant alike, of the origin, principles, history, and customs of any of the fraternities, oftentimes their own included. This lack of knowledge has arisen not from the desire to know nothing of other organizations, nor from indifference to the affairs of their neighbors, but from the fact that information of this kind had never been brought together in a convenient shape. An endeavor has been made to make this book a vehicle of such information. In seeking material the author has in general met with the hearty co-operation of the fraternities themselves, and with few exceptions all facilities have been placed at his disposal. Nothing is here given to the public that an intelligent observer could not ascertain, and no attempt has been made to lay bare any of the so-called secrets of the college societies.

Honor societies exist primarily to recognize the attainment of scholarship of a superior quality, and the development of leader­ ship qualities, character and good campus citizenship. It should be the desire of all honor societies to make this recognition a thing to be coveted and to encourage the production of superior leadership both on campus and after graduation from college. A society which is known and admired outside of the college world as well as on the campus may be regarded as having achieved maturity and success.
