STUDENTS PETITIONED:
'U' Engine School Honor System Began in 1916

cheat themselves and have never
seen any of it.
Students Petition
The honor system was estab-
lished in the engineering college
in 1916 by petition of students.
However, it was partially suspend-
ed during the war because of spe-
cial military trainees attending
school, who had "little regard for
the traditions of the College,"
Dean Emmons explained.
However, in 1949 a referendum
was held and the honor system
was overwhelmingly returned to
full use.
Dear Emmons emphasized that
the system "must be wanted by the
people who live under it."
Engineering students must sign
a pledge after each examination,
Dial NO 8-6416
"I have not given or received aid
during this examination."
Teachers come to the room with
the tests and then leave. They may
occasionally return to answer ques-
tions. Violations may be reported
by students or teachers who may
see a "marked similarity in mis-
takes" on examinations.
Ii a student sees another cheat-
ing, he may tap his pencil on the
desk to warn the cheater he is be-
ing watched. If the cheater per-
sists, he should be reported.
Reports go to the Student Honor
Council. The Council is a self-
perpetuating group, because ac-
cording to Dean Emmons, "We
don't want this to turn into a
popularity contest."
Natural Suspicion
However, Council members are
not totally satisfied with the pres-
ent system, Diamond said. There
is naturally suspicion of any
group that picks its own new mem-
bers.
Punishments are usually an "E"
in the course for the first offense,
and expulsion may be in order for
a second offender.
All cases are subject to a facul-
ty review committee.
Diamond said there were sel-
dom any investigations by the
Council. In his tenure, all but one
offender confessed to his action.
Freshmen are thoroughly indoc-
trinated into the system, Dean
Emmons reported. Upon entrance
they receive a little book entitled
"Honor System," which explains
the program.
"It is a high ideal," the booklet
says. "The Honor System is based
on the . . principle that . . it is

di.honorable for any man to re-
ceive credit for work which is not
the result of his own efforts." It
is an important principle for men
of the engineering profession, and
part of the code of a gentleman,
the booklet says.
First Freshman Assembly
A member of the Honor Council
appears before the freshmen at
their first assembly and discusses
the system with them. The presi-
dent of the Council also talks to
the faculty.
Dean Emmons said there is no
proof that employers are impressed
negatively or positively by the
system. However, he added, there
is a "steady trickle" of letters from
other schools inquiring about the
program.
A nine student law school com-
mittee appointed by Dean E.
Blythe Stason is now Inquiring
into the possibilities of an honor
system in that college.
State Bars Unaffected
According to Jim Kohler, '59L,
letters to bar associations have
shown they wtuld not be affected
in their choice of candidates for
state exams, by a school's honor
system.
However, they would be nega-
tively influenced toward a violator
of the system. The members of the
various state bars who had gradu-
ated from an honor system school
were unanimously in favor of the
establishment of such a program.
Members of the Literary College
faculty are definitely interested in
an Honor system.
Odegaard Cautious
Dean Charles E. Odegaard of
the Literary College said he had
"no basic disbelief in the system."
However, he cautioned, "No honor
system examination will work un-
less students themselves are pre-
pared to take a moral commit-
ment-each student would be his
brother's keeper."
He emphasized that such a sys-
tem depended on how seriously
students are willing to face such a
responsibility.
Under an Honor system, he said,
the difficult task of handling vio-
lations must fall squarely on the
shoulders of the students, with the
faculty largely relieved of the bur-
den of inflicting discipline.
"This can be rough on students."
Program 'Makes Sense'
Prof. Arthur Carr of the English
department told the Daily that
such a program "makes sense,
and probably ought to be tried."
He didn't think the present sys-
tem was very effective.
Teachers, he explained, feel a
definite sense of embarassment
about proctoring exams, and are
"fairly ineffective."
Students, he thought, would
want an honor system, because un-
der the present set-up their own
interests were not being safe-
guarded.
Exam Re-evaluation
Students should prod the facul-
ty, he continued, if they want
such a program.
He also cited another value of
the system. "Teachers would have
to re-evaluate their examinations."
He felt objective type examina-
tions are overused, adding, teach-
ers would be forced to devise an
exam which could not be easily
cheated.
Right now, he declared, we are
doing things backward. We give
tests which are easily adminis-
tered and corrected in classes of
great size, rather than for their
educational value.
He admitted that at the out-
set, "administrative wheels might
creak a little," but that it could
be no wcrse than our present "un-
satisfactory" situation.
Prof. Palmer A. Throop of the
history department expressed
strong favor for an honor system,
"If I were a student, I'd feel in-
ferior," he said. It would seem
the University assumes I was a
cheat"
He also emphasized values of
the re-evaluation of examinations
which a system must necessarily
bring about. An exam which truly
reveals the abilities of a student
cannot be cheated on, he said.
Dictated Questions
He has dictated the questions
for an exam in advance, and found
grades fell into line in about the
same way as when he didn't.
He thought students should
learn to feel they were trusted.
"Education should not be some-
thing that stops at the end of'
school," he explained.
Stanley Mellon, of the history
department, felt an honor sys-
tem would be a "boon and a bless-
ing" to the faculty.
He said it was humiliating to
play policemen.
Honor at Princeton
Formerly a teaching fellow at
Princeton, where there is an hon-
or system, Mellon said he never
came across a violation.
He, however, underscored the
importance of indoctrination, be-
fore the program. "It must become
a way of life."
At Princeton, he said, students
could take their exams back to
their rooms 'as long as they signed
the pledge.
He told of one example of a stu-
dent who, because of illness, had
inissed an exam given to 350 stu-
dents. He was permitted to take
the same test, if he would sign
the pledge. He took it.
Faculty Indoctrination
This points up, Mellon explain-
ed, the importance of faculty in-
doctrination as well. The system
must be completely trusted.
He didn't believe students would
usually turn in others, because of
cheating. However, he felt there
would be a great deal of social
pressure applied to the cheaters.
Dean Emmons tells a little story
to point up the value of the sys-
tem. Several years ago, he met a
student from some South Ameri-
can country, who had studied in
English Language Institute, be-
fore entering engineering school.
After a week in his new school
he wrote home, "Now I am a man.
People trust me."
