I was reading a book on the history of UNT, and there were some letters written by our president in the early 1900s. one letter shocked me, it was to the parents of one girl explaining that she was expelled and would not retain any of her credits, because she went on a date with a man the president considered to be of bad character.
this same president kicked some poor guy out right before his graduation for his continued use of foul language.
but i also read on some curfew stuff, and how if a woman lived in a sort of boarding house off campus she was not allowed to be on the porch with a man on sundays, and any other day after 6 or something equally bizarre.
i was just amazed at how involved in the student's personal business the president of the university was until the 1930s or 40s.
