Discipline
It is the constant aim to make the discipline of the school firm. Everything is done for the good of the student. The basic principle is "DO RIGHT." This is the basis of self-government. It should be acquired by every student. Respect to the authority of superiors, regard for the wishes of equals, neatness, quietness, and industry are essential characteristics of the scholarly lady or gentleman. So it is taken for granted that boys and girls who are idle and unwilling to conform to the requirements of the school will not place themselves under its care. The use of obscene or profane language, boisterousness, loafing, drinking intoxicating beverages, and playing cards and games of chance are absolutely forbidden to all students. All students are required to be present at the daily chapel exercise. All students should dress plainly. No student boarding in the Seminary buildings may leave the grounds for temporary absence without permission. Person not occupying rooms in the buildings are forbidden visiting the same except by permission. Only homes willing to enforce our rules in the above matters will be recommended to students as boarding places, and we reserve the right to remove any student from a boarding place that for any reason proves undesirable, so see the president before securing a boarding place. Diligence, and strict attention to the legitimate work will be insisted upon, and we reserve the right to dismiss any student at any time whose work is unsatisfactory or whose conduct and influence are objectionable, without bringing formal and specific charge. Each student making a monthly average above 90 will be excused from final examination. The school exists to provide superior advantages to the earnest, studious, young men and women of Christian principles who are eager to fill a large place in life. All such will find helpful and congenial surroundings. Violations of any rule will be demerited. Some offenses are more serious than others, so will receive more than one demerit. A second offense is more serious than the first. When a total of 10 demerits are received the student dismisses himself from the school. - Twelfth Annual Catalog of Baxter Seminary, Baxter, TN 1922 - From Baxter Seminary Yearbooks 1934-1960 ajlambert.com
