Uniform.

It is desirable, for many reasons, that the dress of the young women be simple and inexpensive. Simplicity in dress, right in itself, is peculiarly becoming in a student, for it saves time, money and thought to be consecrated to higher uses. Again, it is desirable that the young women identified with the University be distinguished from all others. By the adoption of a uniform this can be readily and effectively accomplished. Therefore, to avoid extravagance and to disarm criticism. all young ladies attending the University are required to adopt, as their daily attire, (the weekly and special holidays excepted), the following uniform: A walking suit of black alpaca or cashmere with trimmings of the same color. During the first four weeks of the first semester, and the last four weeks of the second semester, a white waist or basque may be substituted for the black waist or basque. The style of the fall and winter hat will be announced at the opening of the first semester of each I collegiate year; the style of the spring and summer hat will be announced the first or second week in April of each year. In order to secure perfect uniformity, the order for all hats required will be given by the principal, and one order being given for all, the cost of each will be diminished. The hats for the entire collegiate year will not cost more than 84, possibly they will cost less.

Each young woman must be provided with a water-proof cloak, with [unclear: are] brella and with rubber overshoes. In the long and rigorous winters of this [unclear: clling] it is imperative that our lady students take every necessary precaution [unclear: toward] preservation of their health.

The above regulation dress is prescribed by the Faculty, and made a [unclear: condition] of admission or continuance in the Institution, under the special authorization [unclear: of] Board of Curators, and a penalty of ten demerits is entered for each day's [unclear: vioh] of this rule.
