Title	1890s: API demerits record
Description	This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 1st edition, 1981, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 51: Auburn students accumulated demerits in the 1890s for such violations of rules as unexcused absences from classes and military drills, failure to attend church, improper dress, and long hair. For several decades, cadets with excessive demerits walked penalty tours in front of the main building with rifles on their shoulders. One student facing this punishment explained to his visiting mother that he couldn't spend time with her because he was guarding the college. Photo source: Auburn University Archives.
