. . .
Whereas it has appeared to the Board of Trustees of the University of North
Carolina that great evils and essential disadvantages have already
arisen and are likely still to arise to the good morals of youth in this University from the opportunities and temptations presented to them
of drinking spirituous liquors and of resorting to disorderly houses.
Be it therefore Ordained by the Trustees of the University of North
Carolina and it is hereby Ordained by the authority of the same that
whenever hereafter it may appear to the Faculty that it is no longer proper or
safe for students of the University to visit any particular house in the
Village; the
Faculty may and they are hereby authorized and required to prohibit the Students
from going to such house by inflicting such punishment as to them may appear
proper; the infliction of which is not forbidden by the laws of the Institution.

Be it ordained by the Trustees of the University of North
Carolina and it is hereby ordained by the authority of the same, that
no student shall be permitted to board at any house in the Village without previously
obtaining at each session the written approbation of the President of the
Institution.
