The individual student houses, although geographically separate, operated under identical rules. In keeping with the School's mission of producing upright and womanly women, dormitory behavior in the 1910s and 1920s was meant to be decorous, with everything from laundry to decoration of walls covered by a rule, and ragtime excluded from the parlor.

Rules did change slowly with the times, but the underlying principles of good citizenship and decorum remained in them. These regulations from the 1920s describe ideal behavior for those first Bouvé students.
