Every Cadet must haye his foll name rnrtrked or written on e~·ery article. On joining the ln,titution, he is required to make out an inventory of all his books, clothes, and whatever else belongs to him, which inventory will be transcribed to hjs Permit Book, in which will be charged whatever the Supel'intendent allows to be furnished him; which book, and all other articles shall be subject to inspection · . when called for. 13.

The character and conduct of gentleman must be considered as inseparable from every member of this Institution; and every de­ viation from this standard, as well as any transgression of the rules and regulations of the Institution, will meet with an appropriate pun­ ishment. 16. Any Cadet who shall be guilty of quarrelling with or striking any other Cadet, or making use of improper names, reproachful, provoking, insulting, profane or vulgar language, any low familiar­ ity, buffoonry or the like, ~hall be punished according to the nature and degree of the offence. 17. In all cases where punishment may become necessary, the great object will be the prevention of misdemeanor; in the first in­ stance by endeavoring to reform the character of .the pupil, and ul­ timately, where this cannot be done, by removing him from the Jn­ sritn1.c,1. 'T"rn ;1: :ii~hrriC'nts will i;;cr,er"lly hr ; , · vate re?ro,;f l h. lie reprimand, extra duty, confinement to his room, suspension or di~­ m1ssion, and no other mode of punishment will be resorted to, except in extreme cases. And no student, habitually negligent, or inatten­ tive to the laws of the Institution, after all proper means have failed to reform him, will be permitted to retain his connexion. Jt is to be hoped, however, that every Cadet will be induced to a foll and correct discharge of all his duty, (agreeably to the Jette;:o and spirit of the above reglations,) by a high sense of moral oblig~\· tion and of honor, rather than by a fear of punishment.
