“CHAPTER IV.
OF STUDENTS AS UNDER CIVIL LAW.
In all matters relating to good order and quietness: to the reatment of property public or private: and in general to the rights and obligations of citizens in a community, the students will be regarded and treated as amenable to the laws of the land and to the police regulations of the city in all respects like other citizens: and in case of any violations of such laws or regulations the Faculty will not shield students from the ordinary processes of justice, but will seek rather to put the Institution under the protection, and to secure for students the wholesome educating influence, of public law.
