1. Habitual neglect of attendance for Divine Worship at such church or chapel as shall be approved by his parents or guardians.

2. Habitual neglect of attendance on the religious instruction provided for Students of his Church or denomination.

3. Immoral or dishonest practices.

5. Drunkenness.

6. Grievous offences against College rules or discipline.
7. Wilful and serious injury to the property of the College.

For all offences and violations of the Statutes of the College, or of the Decrees or other regulations of the College Council, of a less grievous nature than the preceding, the Council shall have power to inflict such fine or other punishment as shall appear to them suitable to the

same.

No Student shall be allowed to enter or pursue his studies in the said Queen's College while under sentence of temporary exclusion, or after expulsion from any one of the Colleges founded under the said Act of Parliament.

CHAPTER XVI.

OF THE RESIDENCES OF STUDENTS, AND THE DEANS OF
RESIDENCES.

Every Matriculated Student, being under the age of twenty-one years, shall be required to reside during the College Terms with his parent or guardian, or with some relation or friend to whose care he shall have been committed by his parent or guardian, and who shall have been approved of by the President, or in a Boarding-house licensed and arranged for the reception of Students in the manner hereinafter described.

The relation or friend to whose care a Student shall have been committed, shall attend at the entrance of the Student into the College, to certify to the President the said Student's place of residence, and to accept the charge of his moral and religious conduct.

Every Student intending to reside in a licensed Boardinghouse shall, at his entrance into the College, produce a certificate to the President from his parent or guardian, specifying the Boarding-house in which it is proposed he shall reside.

The President shall require every person applying for a licence to keep a general Boarding-house, to produce a certificate of moral and religious character from his clergyman or minister, and shall obtain satisfactory evidence of the suitableness of the proposed establishment, and of its means of providing for the health and comfort of the Students.

If the Bishop, Moderator, or constituted Authority of any Church or religious denomination shall notify to the President his or their desire that there shall be a Boarding-house specially licensed for the exclusive use of the Students of such Church or denomination, and shall specially recommend persons applying for licence to establish the same, the President shall, in every such case, grant such licence, provided he shall obtain satisfactory evidence of the suitableness of the proposed establishment, and of its means of providing for the health and comfort of the Students.

In the case of Collegiate Students residing in a seminary or school which is under the special jurisdiction of the Bishop, Moderator, or the constituted Authority of any Church or religious denomination, the President shall, on receiving a notification from such authority, consider residence in such seminary or school as equivalent to residence in the house of parent or guardian, and shall exempt such seminary or school from licence or inspection, but shall require the same attendance at entrance as in the case of a Student residing with his parent or guardian.

For the better maintenance of moral and religious discipline in the licensed Boarding-houses, such clergymen or ministers as WE shall, from time to time, by warrant under our Sign Manual, appoint Deans of Residences, shall have the moral care and spiritual charge of the Students of their respective creeds residing in the licensed Boarding-houses.

The College Council shall have power to assign lecture

rooms within the precincts of such College, wholly or in part, for the use of the Deans of Residences, for the purpose of affording religious instruction to the Students of their respective creeds, and also to make rules concerning the days and times when such religious instruction shall be given therein, and for securing that the same shall not interfere with the general discipline of the College; provided always, that no Student shall be compelled by any rule of the College to attend any theological lecture or religious instruction other than is approved by his parents or guardians, and that no religious test shall be administered to any person in order to entitle him to be admitted a Student of any such College, or to hold any office therein, or to partake of any advantage or privilege thereof.

No Clergyman or Minister shall be competent to assume or continue to hold the office of Dean of Residences, unless approved of by the Bishop, Moderator, or constituted Authority of his Church or religious denomination.

The Registrar shall, at the commencement of every Collegiate Session, furnish each Dean of Residences with a list of the names and residences of the Students of his religious persuasion who may reside in the licensed Boarding-houses.

Each Dean of Residences shall, at the termination of every Collegiate Session, report to the President on the general conduct of the Students under his moral care and spiritual charge, and on the manner in which discipline, regarding such Students, has been observed in the several licensed Boarding-houses in which they reside.

* By Queen's letter, dated 30th April, 1881, it is declared lawful and competent for the President to hold any Professorship concurrently with the office of President, and to be paid, out of the sum charged on the Consolidated Fund, such salary as may be prescribed in Queen's letter appointing him, not exceeding two-thirds of the annual salary of such Professorship.
