In keeping with the established cus-. tom of Thanksgiving appointments, the staff of The Michigan Daily is augmented this issue with the names of a number of new men. In many cases, this recognition has come after nearly a year of worK for the paper, with the campus none the wiser. In all cases, it has meant a lot of hard work and sacrifice, and we usurp this bit of space for the purpose of thanking those men for their loyalty,. and congratulating them on their at- tainment of the goal long looked for- ward to, and, with apologies for nat- ural prejudice, quite worth while. + THE HONOR SYSTEM.+ The demand for the introduction of the honor system in examinations by a number of students in Prof. Turner'sa course, and the campaign for reform' along the same lines which has arisen Aimultaneously with it at the Univer- sity of Illinois, poin' to a basic weak-1 Ness in the system of faculty supervis- ion. We cannot close our eyes to thel ?act that cheating in examinations isl far too prevalent, How many of us ire there who can say, as do most of the graduates of Princeton.; where thet honor system is in force,~ that theyl have never seen a case of cheating in examinations? How many of us would regard it as a low estimate that thirty per cent of the students who take an examination here, give or re-l ceive aid? Suppose, circumstancest forced you to employ a doctor, a law- yer, or an engineer who got his degreei by cribbing in examinations. Leaving1 the matter of personal honesty out ofc the question for the moment, should a }degree from the University of Mich-I igan not stand at least for a certain amount of honest work done while in1 school by the man who holds it? But can this result be brought about by adopting the honor system in ex- aminations? We have referred to the success of the system at Princeton. The honor system has also been adopt- ed at other institutions with equally desirable results. Among the schools which have adopted this system and since evinced no desire to return to the other, are the University of Vir- ginia, Washington and Lee, Vander- bilt, Wesleyan, Williams, Lehigh, Washington and Jefferson, and the University of Texas. This list of names carries a great deal of weight as an argument for the adoption of the plan at Michigan. It would hardly be a fair test to adopt the scheme in one class only. A student who comes from an exami- nation where he feels that there is no harm in cheating if he can do so without being caught by the profes- sor in charge, can hardly be expected to change his attitude within a few hours when he goes to a class where his work is not done under the super- vision of the faculty. If the honor system is to be a suc- cess the students must realize that their conduct during examinations is a matter of manliness, fair plays and honesty to their school and fellow stu- dents. They must realize that they are not simply "slipping one over" on the professor in charge of the examina- tion when they succeed in cheating without being detected, but that they are being disloyal to their school by' lowering her standards, unfair to their fellow students by discouraging hon- est work, and unmanly in their whole attitude by adopting a dishonorable and contemptible means of boosting their credit. The only way that this can be brought about is to have the spirit general throughout the school. No such spirit can 'prevail if a stu- dent is to pledge his honor as a gen- tileman not to cheat in one examina- tion, and go to the next feeling that there cheating is perfectly legitimate if he is not caught at it If the system is to be a success, it should be eftirely free from faculty interference. The students should be completely on their honor or not at all. It is foolish to think of adopting an honor system if it is accompanied by rules which provide that students shall not sit near each other when writing, that no student shall leave the room during an examination, or that the faculty shall try all cases of cheating under the system. The stu- dents must feel that the matter is en- tirely within their -own hands, and that success or faillure of the system is a test of their own character and ef- fectiveness, and not of the watchful- ness of a member of the faculty. And if the system is to be a success, the demand for it should come, as it has come, from the students. It is a matter which the student council, the Michigan Union, and the various cam- pus societies can profitably take up, and The Michigan Daily solicits com- munications on both sides of the ques- tion from any member of the student body.
