�REGULATIONS
FOR THE:
INTERIOR DISCIPLINE AND POLICE OF
THE SOUTH CAROLINA CORPS

----❖Gl•!t--
1934
�HEADQUARTERS SOUTH CAROLINA CORPS OF
CADETS, THE CITADEL
Charleston, S. C., July 1, 1934.
The following Cadet Regulations are published for the
information and guidance of all concerned.
JESSE GASTON,
Commandant of Cadets
Approved:
C. P. SUMMERALL,
President.
INTRODUCTORY
These regulations shall be in full force and effect from
date of publication and may be amended by the Commandant
of Cadets with the approval of the President.
All explanatory and informatory details have been eliminat~
ed so far as practicable.
The spirit of these regulations shall govern in all cases.
All orders and regulations in conflict with these ( except
the College Regulations) are hereby revoked.

PRINCIPLES
PRINCIPLES
1. The Citadel is essentially a Military College, and the
college authorities promise parents ( or guardians) of cadets
strict supervision over their sons ( or wards) entrusted to their
care. Such supervision will be complete in so far as is possible.
Cadets who by temperament or otherwise are not suited to such
control should request consent of their parents to withdraw.
2. Cadets will remain on the College Campus except at
certain designated periods when they will be allowed to go on
leave as provided in these regulations.
3. They will not be allowed to rent cottages at nearby
beaches, or rooms in the city without the express permission of
the Commandant of Cadets. All such occupancy will be under
the supervision of the Director of Cadet Affairs.
4. Four principles underlie all cadet duty, viz: honesty,
cleanliness,, punctuality, and thoroughness. Cadets will apply
these principles constantly.
a. Honeaty:-The cadet in his life at the Citadel will
measure his actions by a standard of honor which will make
him true to himself, to his duty and to his fellow cadets in the
broadest and best sense ; he must realize that it is not fair
t0 any cadet to allow him to fail in his duty and by so doing
build up habits of carelessness and disrespect for law. Similarly,
with regard to himself, he must feel that evading punishment
or securing anything to which he is not clearly entitled cannot compensate for a lowered standard of honor.
b. Cleanliness:-The cadet will be clean in the most exacting sense of the word. His hair must be short, face clean
shaven, and his body and clothing meticulously clean at all
times. His equipment, furniture, room and every article and
place for which he is responsible will be kept clean and tidy.
Articles which can be shined wilJ be so kept.
1
�ABS!lNC!lS
5
c. Punctuality:-Each cadet will be punctual at every duty
and appointment, whether he is summoned by a general call
(steel, bugle, etc.), obliged to watch the time for himself, or
otherwise.
d. Thoroughness:-In performance of duty military or
academic, cadets will fully inform themselves as to their duty
and be thorough and painstaking, carrying such duty to completion at the time prescribed.
ABSENCES
5. Only the President of the College, the Commandant of
Cadets, the College Surgeon, or in exceptional instances, the
officer-in-charge, may excuse a cadet from any duty.
6. A cadet excused from any military duty will at once
notify the first sergeant of his organization, and in the case of
a cadet officer he will also notify the next officer in the
chain of command.
7. A cadet is "absent from a formation" if not in ranks
before the report is made to the guard, and the report will
be made promptly.
8. A cadet is "absent from a duty'' if he does not join
before the duty ends; he is "absent from a ceremony" if he
does not join before adjutant's call, after which he may not
join.
9. A cadet is "late" if he is not in his exact proper
place at the last note of assembly, but joins before he is due
to be reported absent.
10. Unless expressly so stated, no privileges granted to
cadets will excuse them from any duty, confinement or
punishment.
�6
ACAD:€MIC INSTRUCTION
11. Cadets directed to report at any office, or to any
instructor, or at the guard room will do so at the first opportunity when no duty will be interfered with; if a cadet is in

�HEADQUARTERS OF THE CITADEL
OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
CHARLESTON, S. C.
November 23, 1938.
General Orders }
No. 6
1. ·The following regulations for the Corps of Cadets of
The Citadel are published for the information and guidance of
all concerned. Each cadet will receipt for the copy furnished for
his use, will keep it in good condition, subject to inspection at
all times. It shall be officially known as the "Blue Book".
A cadet is expected to comply with duly published
regulations and orders. Ignorance of orders or regulations is not
a valid excuse for failure to obey them. When in doubt as to the
meaning of any order or regulation, the cadet should question
his cadet captain, his tactical officer, the officer in charge, or an
officer of the Department of Military Science and Tactics.
Every cadet detailed for guard, room orderly, or other
special duty will read the orders pertaining to such duty prior
to each tour.
C. P. SUMMERALL,
President.
�INTRODUCTION
These regulations shall be in full force and effect from date of publication. They supersede all previously published orders, regulations, or
memoranda. They may be amended by the Commandant of Cadets with
the approval of the President.
The spirit of these regulations shall govern in all cases.
This book shall be known officially as the Blue Book.
Each room occupied by cadets shall be provided with: One copy of
the Blue Book, one copy of the College Regulations, and one copy of
Customs and Courtesies. Besides the foregoing, all cadets will be required
to familiarize themselves with, and observe, the following: General
Orders, Special Orders, Memorandum Orders, Guard Orders, and Details
for Duty issued from time to time by proper authority and released to
those concerned. Orders concerning the Corps will be posted on organiza·
tion bulletin boards. Di st ribution will generally be noted on typed orders.
All orders will be effective as of release-date and have the full force
of published orders whether or not read before the Corps.
�1-PRINCIPLES
1.01. The Citadel is essentially a Military College, and the college
authorities promise parents (or guardians) of cadets stri~t supervision
over the cadets entrusted to their care. Such supervision will be complete
in so far as possible. Cadets who by temperament or otherwise are
not suited to such control should request consent of their parents to withdraw.
1.02. Cadets will remain on the College Campus e;'!!;cept when on authorized leave as provided in these regulations.
1.08. Cadets will not be allowed to rent cottages at nearby beaches
or rooms in the city without the written permission of the Commandant.
Such occupancy will be under the supervision of the Director of Cadet
Affairs.
1.04. Four basic principles guide all cadets in the performance of
duty: honesty, cleanliness, punctuality, and thoroughness. Cadets will apply these principles constantly.
a. HONESTY :-A cadet in his life at The Citadel will measure his
actions 11y a standard of honor which will make him true to himself, to his duty and to his fellow cadets in the broadest and best
sense. He must realize that it is not fair to any cadet to allow him
to fail in his duty and by so doing 11uild up habits of carelessness
and disrespect for law. Similarly, with regard to himself, he must
feel that evading punishment or securing anything to which he
is not clearly entitled cannot compensate for a lowered standard
of honor.
b.
CLEANLINESS :-A cadet will be clean in the most exacting
sense of the word. His hair must be short, face clean shaven, and
his body and clothfng meticulously clean at all times. His equipment, furniture, room and every article and place for which he is
responsible will be kept clean and tidy. Articles which can be
shined will 11e so kept.
c.
PUNCTUALITY:-A cadet will 11e punctual at every duty and
appointment, whether he is summoned by a general call (steel,
bugle, etc.), obliged to watch the time for himself, or otherwise.
d.
THOROUGHNESS:-In performance of duty, military or academic, a cadet will fully inform himself as to his duty, and be
thorough and painstaking in carrying such duty to completion at
the time prescribed.
6
�2-ABSENCES
2.01. Only the President of the College, the Commandant, the College
Surgeon, or in exceptional instances, the Officer-in-Charge, may e;11;cuse a
cadet from any duty.
2.02. A cadet excused from any military duty will at once notify the
first sergeant of his organization, and in the case of a cadet officer he
will also notify the cadet whose duty it is to take his place.
2.03. A cadet is "absent from a formation" if not in ranks b'efore the
report is made to the guard. Such report will be made promptly.
__ 2.04. A cadet is "absent from a duty" if he does not join before the
duty ends; he is "absent from a ceremony" if he does not join before adjutant's call, after which he may not join.
2.05. A cadet is "late" if he is not in his exact proper place at the
last note of assembly, b'ut joins before he is due to be reported absent.
2.06. Unless expressly so stated, no privileges granted to a cadet will
excuse him from any duty, confinement or punishment.
2.07. A cadet directed to report at any office, or to any instructor,
or at the guard room, will do so at the first opportunity when no duty
will be interfered with. If a cadet is in conference with any officer and
has any duty to perform, he will inform the officer of that fact in time
to be present at the duty or formation.
2;08. Each First Sergeant will keep a consolidated daily list of
authorized absentees in his company. This list will show by name, rank,
and organization, every cadet in the company who is authorized to be
absent from any formation whatsoever, such as reveille, breakfast, class
formation, drill. parade, chapel, etc. The absence of any cadet from any
formation will be supported by the proper authorization. For example,
a copy of the guard list (which should be kept in every orderly room)
will be sufficient supporting evidence for every entry appearing thereon
and which also appears on the daily conso,Iidated authorized absentee
list and marked "On Guard". Also the Daily Sick Report, having the
cadets noted as "Sick in Hospital" (S /H) by the Surgeon, will be sufficient evidence to support an entry of the cadet's name on the list as
being "absent sick in hospital" (S/H), or, "Absent sick in Quarters"
(S/Q). A copy of an approved request for leave will be sufficient supporting evidence for an entry after the cadet's name as being "Absent
with leave" (AWL). An entry after the cadet's name in the Daily Sick
Report and marked "Excused from Military Duty" (XMD) by the Surgeon,
will be sufficient evidence to support such entry on the company consolidated daily authorized absentee list.
7
�2.09. The cadets whose names appear on this daily authorized absentee list (DAAL), will not be reported as absent on any absentee and
late report originating within the company.
2.10. The "Daily Authorized Absentee List" (DAAL) will be made
up each day, in triplicate, and disposed of as follows:
1 Copy to the Commandant's Office.
1 Copy to the Guard Room.
1 Copy on file in the Co. Orderly Room.
2.11. The First Sergeant of each organization shall prepare in triplicate a weekly Daily Authorized Absentee List (DtAAL) before 8 :00 A.M.
every Monday. One copy of this list shall be turned in to the Commandant's office and one copy to the Officer of the Day in the Barracks
in which the organization is located. The third copy shall be retained
and kept posted to date in a conspicuous place in the First Sergeant's
room. Necessary corrections are noted on the daily DAAL as the changes
occur in order that the weekly lists in the Commandant's Office and in
the Guard Rooms can be kept posted to date. The weekly list will show
the names of cadets authorized to be absent from formations on specified
days during the week, such as members of the football squad, Catholic
Chapel Squad, Jewish Squad, Band, Drum & Bugle Corps, NY!\., etc.
2.12. The daily DAAL shall be made up and submitted daily as
prescribed in par. 2.11 above for the weekly list except that on Sundays
and holidays it shall be tumed in b'y 8 :45 A.M. All cadets who were
in the hospital or XMD the preceding day shall be included in the daily
DAAL. When the sick b'ooks are returned from the hospital, the Officer
of t}:le Day of each barracks shall cause his daily DAAL to be corrected
accordingly and shall keep it properly posted throughout his tour by
adding the names of cadets signing out on special leave, dental permits,
etc., and noting the hours of return.
2.13. Each Officer of the Day shall submit all daily DAAL'S received
at his guard room the preceding day to the Commandant's Office when
he marches off guard. All corrections and notations made on these
sheets shall remain unaltered.
3-ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION
8.01. SECTIONS AND SUBSECTIONS:-Academic classes will be
divided into sections according to military units (Inf. and Arty.), with the
highest ranking cadet as section marcher and the second ranking cadet
as section guide. No section shall contain more than eleven (11) cadets.
When there are more than eleven cadets in a section the ranking cadet
will divide the section into the necessary number of sub-sections of not
more than eleven cadets each. The section marchers will obtain from the
instructor of each class the section roll of that particular class. The
8
�three ranking cadets of each section will carry a copy of the section roll
so that they can act as section marchers without advance notice. In case
there are no cadet officers or non-commissioned officers present in the
section the order of rank will be determined alphabetically according to
class. All sections will be sized in such a manner as to have the tallest
cadets lead the section.
3.02. Sections regardless of size will be marched. If a section consists of two or more cadets it will be formed and marched as a section.
3.03 ROUTING CHARTS :-Routing charts for academic sections
will be found on barracks and company bulletin b'oards at the beginning
of each academic year. Every cadet will familiarize himself with them
before the first academic instruction.
3.04. FORMATION AND MARCIDNG:-a. At class formations on
the class parades, a section will form on the section guide in two ranks
at the place indicated on the routing chart. The section marcher will post
himself two paces in front of and facing his section. At the command
"Form your Sections" given by a member of the guard, the section
marcher commands, "Fall In"; the section immediately forms at attention.
b. At the bell signal, the Senior Officer of the Day present will give
the command, "Form your Sections" in a military manner and in a tone
sufficiently loud to be heard by all cadets present.
c. Each Section Marcher will form his section promptly. He will
report the name and company of every absentee from his section. He will
report as late, all cadets who are not in ranks at the formation of his
section but who join the section before he makes his report to the Officer
of the Day or Officer of the Guard.
d. An Officer of the Day or Officer of the Guard supervising a formation will submit a delinquency report against any section marcher who
fails to report !ates or absentees, or both. He will also enter a report
against any section marcher who allows talking or straggling in his section
or who allows his section to march in an unmilitary manner.
e. Every cadet Officer of the Day and Officer of the Guard when
receiving reports from Section Marchers, will make a list for each formation of all absentees reported to them, regardless of whether the absentees
are authorized or not authorized. All !ates will also be reported and each
list signed by the Cadet Officer who received the report. The Officers of
the Day and Officers of the Guard will then take the lists made out b'y
them to their respective guard rooms. Each Officer of the Day will immediately make, or cause to be made, a check of these lists with the DAAL
report,il from his barracks. Names of absentees from a barracks other
than his own will be sent to the Officer of the Day in the other barracks
for check, necessary action, and return. If, upon checking, it appears that
a reported absence is not authorized, the Officer of the Day, or an Officer
of the Guard, will make a search for the absentee. The latter, if found,
will be directed to report to his class or other duty immediately and a de-
9
�linquency report will be entered against him for his absence. If he be
not found, the Commandant's office will be notified and a report will be
entered against the cadet as "Absent without leave". Reports will also
be entered against all cadets who are late at formation of sections, on
Form C. C. No. 2. When delinquency slips are entered against Cadets on
Form C. C. No. 2, the word "Reported" will be placed after the cadet's
name on the lists made out by the cadet officers receiving reports from
section marchers.
f.
Except when excused by proper authority, cadets attending classes
If they have not been assigned to the proper
section by the Registrar's office, they will obtain such assignment, form
with their sections and march with them to the classroom. Cadets will
not leave books in the halls or other public places but will carry them b'ack
to their rooms in barracks or to the next class formation.

any cadets who do not leave their classrooms promptly; ( d) Report cadets

other reason; (e) Report all section marchers who permit talking or unnecessary noises.
h. Similarly two Officers of the Guard will station themselves on
the second floor and two on the third floor to carry out the above
instructions.
t. At the command, "March off your Sections", section marchers face
their sections, and give the appropriate commands for facing and marching
off.
j. Sections are marched in a column of twos, with two paces between
sections in column. Sections remain in column by class until they leave the
column and enter the proper door.
k. When a section reaches the proper place, on return from instruction, the section marcher commands, "1. Section, Halt. 2. Dismissed",
without facing. After being dismissed from their sections cadets will
immediately move out of the way of other sections.
8.05. a. On entering a class room each cadet will proceed to the seat
assigned to him and stand at attention until the section marcher makes
his report. The section marcher will enter the class room after the section, closing the door if the instructor is present; but, if the instructor is

the section marcher will report the fact through the Senior Officer of the
Day to the Commandant of Cadets.

marchers will be responsible for preventing talking or unnecessary noise
enroute or in buildings.

traditions of the Corps, by e;x:ercising his own influence or authority and
by supporting the authority of those senior to him, whenever a breach of
discipline or other impropriety makes it necessary, at anytime, in any
place, under any circumstances.
b. Every cadet officer, and noncommissioned officer, e;x:cept a corporal in ranks, has authority to give appropriate orders to any cadet
junior to him, at any time, unless the cadet is removed from his control

from any cadet under him and to report any such cadet for a breach of
regulations.

command or duty then falls.

and police of his barracks. He will be established in a Cadet Barracks

(DJ L) .

18.06. PROCEDURE WHEN REPORTING TO AN OFFICER:When reporting to an officer, a cadet will approach the officer's door
and stand at attention. If the officer is not already engaged, the cadet
will knock on the door sharply twice. When the officer says "Come in",
the cadet wiil march to within one pace of the desk, halt and salute
immediately. He will not hold the salute while making his report. He
will make his report to the officer in a clear and concise manner and
in a tone loud enough so that the officer can hear and understand every
essential part of the report. The four essentials are:
a. NAME. Initials will be stated only when there is another cadet
in the Corps with the same surname.
b. RANK. Examples: (a) "Cadet Captain" (b) "Cadet Sgt." It is
not customary nor necessary to say "Private" when that is your
rank, but recruits will give their rank as "Cadet Recruit".
28
�c. ORGANIZATION. Give your organization very slowly and clearly.
Examples: (1) "Recruit Co. No. 3", (2) "B Company", (3) "Band",
(4) "Arty Bn Staff", (5) "Inf Bn Staff", etc.
d. PURPOSE OF THE REPORT. Examples: (a) "Reports to explain
a delinquency", (b) "Reports for information", (c) "Reports as
ordered."
e. Example of a complete report concerning a delinquency: "Sir, Cadet
Smith, K. M., Company D, reports to e:icplain a delinquency",
f. After making his report the cadet will wait for instructions from
the officer before he gives the explanation. When the officer
has obtained the necessary correspondence concerning the report
he will ask the cadet to give his explanation. The explanation
should be given clearly and concisely and should contain every
essential necessary for a complete understanding of the alleged
offense. After completion of all details and discussions of the
explanation the officer will state, "That's All"; whereupon the
cadet will salute, about face and leave. It is not customary in any
uniformed service for a junior to express thanks for performance
of a purely military duty. A smart and soldierly salute is suffi·
cient and more appropriate.
18.07, If a cadet feels that any punishment is unjust he may submit
written request for reconsideration of the report thru his company commander within forty-eight hours after the posting of the delinquency
sheet showing punishment awarded. Cadets are expected to guard carefully their conduct records, but they cannot expect "changed action" on

appearance, personality, dependability, leadership, athletics and extra curricular activity are considered.
Cadet officers are normally selected from the senior class, sergeants
from the junior class, and corporals from the sophomore class.
43-SEQUENCE OF COMMAND
43.01. The military rank of cadet officers and noncommissioned officers will b'e determined by number in grade as published in orders. The

43.03. For ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSES the set-up will be as organized by the Commandant.
43.04. A cadet officer or noncommissioned officer is required to
"pass his command (or duty)" to the ne:x:t in rank before he is relieved of
the responsibilities thereof. This is very important. Any cadet having a
command or duty fall upon him has a right to know the exact time when
he is to assume such responsibilities. A salute and a simple report like
"Sir, I release command of the battalion ( company, platoon, mess hall, or
such office) to you" is sufficient. The command or duty passes only when
the cadet assuming it returns the salute, indicating that he understands.
No command will be "passed" except by proper authority.

but he will be responsible for the correctness of the entries), will enter
the following data in the Sick Report: Name, rank and organization of

entry, is to b'e changed, a single line will be drawn through it and initialed
by the person making the deletion. There will be no blank lines left
between the bottom of one day's entries and the next entry. The Surgeon's
signature should be on the next line b'elow the last entry appearing in the
book for the day and the next entry will be made on the line below this
signature. Ink will be used in making all entries, notations, signatures or
any other writing in the book. A notation will be entered in the right hand
column showing the disposition of each cadet as made by the Surgeon, If
a cadet is absent, the notation "Absent" will be entered in this column and

any) and cause these to report to the hospital at once. He will then enter

completion of this he will resume his usual guard duty. All cadets who
are not shown on the Daily Sick Report as "Sick in Hospital" will return

necessary changes in the Daily Authorized Ab"sentee Lists. All cadets reporting at the hospital at hours other than sick call will be reported by
