...Penal Laws' of this early code are rigorous in the extreme, covering twenty-four sections of one chapter. This is in marked contrast to the present spirit which has not excluded the mention of a penalty in connection with any particular irregularity. A student masquerading "in woman's apparel" was liable to expulsion. "If any scholar unnecessarily frequents taverns." "profanely curse, swear," "play at cards or dice" he was liable to a fine for a fresh offence and to all the terrors of the law for continuance in his misdemeanor. "No person of what degree soever residing in the college...
...from Yale on Saturday, the freshmen began their celebration by carrying the victors from the field on their shoulders. On arriving at the gymnasium, rousing cheers were given for the eleven and for the individual players, while the Yale team was down stairs in the sparring room changing their apparel.

These rooms are for bathing, not for dressing, especially not for putting on such articles of apparel as a hat, an overcoat, and a cane. It is not only ungentlemanly, but it is unfair for any one to occupy a bath room longer than absolutely necessary; the accommodations are already inadequate to the demand, and any action tending to make this inadequacy greater is censurable...
Whereas the enjoining of an uniform colour, in clothing of the under-graduates, and prohibiting a certain snecies of materials in their apparel. will have a great tendency to lessen the expense of dress, [which, at present, constitutes too large a proportion of the collegiate charges], while, at the same time, the appearance will be more academical...
