Abstract: 

We’ve moved forward in time a bit since the first installment of this series (“Lessons From History, Part One,” 8(3) CS&SD 39 (January/February 2007)), in which we hope to trace an historical lineage of campus disciplinary statutes. Leaving off Robert de Sorbon’s “Statues for a College” from 13th-century France, we find ourselves in 18th-century America, scrutinizing the “Rules for the Good Government and Discipline of the School in the University of Pennsylvania.” First set down in 1784, these Rules present a candid view of the issues and concerns facing one of the first American Universities.
