Excerpt from Laws of the Columbian College in the District of Columbia It is, also, anxiously recommended, that visits to the City be requested as rarely as possible, being, when frequent, obviously unfavourable to those habits of studiousness, sobriety, and good order, which form the surest presage of future eminence. In this connexion, too, the Trustees cannot abstain from expressing their strong and deep conviction of the impropriety of much pocket money being allowed to students. Their confessed object is not to spend money, but to obtain a substantial and valuable education; and too great latitude in this respect, it is deliberately believed, does more injury to Colleges and to the morals of stu dents, than all other causes. The Trustees beseech parents and guardians to take this matter into most serious consideration, and not to place in the hands of the students, the means, and the inducement, to inflict the greatest injury upon themselves and upon the Institution.
