1850,* Laws of Beloit College, ch. 4, § 2 (sine nomine).

"CHAP. IV.
Of the Deportment of the Students...

    ...Sec. 2. As it is the grand design of the College to secure the highest degree of mental improvement, by means of study and appropriate discipline, whatever, in the deportment or habits of a student, tends to defeat this design, shall be deemed properly within the control of College authority.
    Therefore, no student shall be allowed to have in his room, spirituous, vinous or malt liquor; to play at cards, dice, or any similar game; to use or keep upon the College premises, fire-arms, or gunpowder; to attend assemblies for dancing or theatrical amusements; or to give or attend convivial entertainments, either in students' rooms or in public houses...."
