Interesting Facts
Found in Old
Regulations
By J. A. BARNES
In searching for something to be
printed in The Battalion this week,
we ran across what will probably
prove both interesting and, in some
respects, amusing—an old copy of
the College Regulations of 1883, a
“Fish Bible.” We will not attempt to
make a complete comparison of the
“Laws” then and the “Rules a,ud
Regulations” now; but will try to
give an unbiased opinion of a few
phases of the various sections of the
two books.
Under the “Military Regulations”;
we find such things as this: “There
shall be an inspection of the battal
ion under arms every Sunday morn
ing when the weather permits, ac
cording to the form prescribed in the
Regulations of the United States
Army.” So, it is quite evident that
the authorities now are not spring
ing something new on us. “Dinner at
1:00 p. in. Call to quarters for study
at 30 minutes after return from sup
per. Tattoo, at 0:30 p. m., Taps—sig
nal to extinguish lights—at 10 p. m.,
Call to quarters is sounded at 8 a. m.
and release from quarters at 4 p. m.”
There probably were no such things
as “Movies” then and the students
needed more sleep and less time for
studying. However, if they had to
turn in 30 minutes after supper, they
had just about as much time as we
have now to study. This, in the
opinion of the writer, was a default
because a few minutes after supper
is almost necessary in order that one
may be able to g-et a little of the ex
cess “Bull” out of his system before
he starts to delve into the theories
of calculus or thermodynamics, thus
eliminate any unnecessary visits to
the room next door to keep the other
fellow from writing the sweetest pos
sible letter to the “Sweet young
thing.”
The unifonn then was gray and
the cadets acting as officei's wore
the same badges as the officers of
the same rank in the United States
Army. Everyone wore “slacks” with
a black stripe down the side and was
required to “wear the hair short.”
Some of us may have thought that
“drowning- out” was practically a
new thing, but even then the Regu
lations read, “No cadet shall throw
water or missies from the windows
or into the halls . . .” And last—but
not least, “No cadet shall play on any
musical instrument on Sunday, or
during study hours on any other
day.”

chant, will flash his wares on the
hard boards in New York soon.
