404 Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters. 
The Rector of the University is to act as the university’s exe¬ 
cutive in enforcing these regulations to the last detail through 
the university beadles. If the Rector should he inclined to in¬ 
dulgence or oversight in these vital matters, the Senate shall 
officially remind him of his obligation and give him the impe¬ 
tus and assistance which the weight of its authority will always 
afford. (We must remember that the rector or president was 
chosen from year to year by the Senate from among its mem¬ 
bers, as is still the custom in German universities.) 
As was customary in other cases, fines collected were to be 
divided into three parts. The first third should go to the Pis- 
cus, the State Treasury, the second to the Rector and the third 
to the beadles, the university police. 
The ordinance proclaimed is to become effective within four 
weeks after the date of publication, except in the changes of 
dress, for which the time is extended up to the following 
Michaelmas. And to prevent any claim of ignorance on the 
paid of persons affected, the Senate orders that the document 
shall be read in public at the time of the announcement of the 
university’s statutes. Persons connected with the institution 
shall also have ample opportunity to study the terms of this 
proclamation with diligence and sobriety through the printed 
forms which shall be immediately provided; and to their ear¬ 
nest perusal the Senate solemnly enjoins everyone under its jur¬ 
isdiction.
