Rules of Haverford School, 1833

This file contains two copies of a single document titled “Rules of Haverford School.” Both documents are dated 1833, the year of the school’s opening, and one is marked on the back as being the “printed rules of managers.” The rules primarily cover a student’s freedom to move throughout the campus building (Founders Hall) and explicitly prohibit any exploration beyond the building without permission. Guidelines for polite interactions are also outlined, as well as the prohibition of smoking and chewing tobacco. The rules also recommend that money sent by parents or other guardians be forwarded to the superintendent, rather than directly to the student.
