Bathing Was Compulsory In The Good Old Days Modem day students at Notre Dame would be very much surprised at some of the rules and regulations of 1869-70 (and, incidentally, greatly relieved to know that they are now obsolete.) A disaster tantamount to a major calamitj'' might result today if students were made to observe severe discipline in regard to the use of tobacco, frequent bathing and the limiting of spending money. The Rev. Daniel J. Spillard, C.S.C., prefect of discipline, was faced with the difficult task of enforcing a strict set of regulations. One of the most peculiar regulations compelled all students to bathe frequently in the w^inter. Rooms were provided, especially fitted up with hot and cold water during the cold months. In warm weather students were required to bathe twice a week in St. Joseph Lake. The use of tobacco was strictly for­ bidden unless special permission was given by the parents.
