UNION OPERA EXTRA APRIL UYUNIYERSITIES NOW BOAST HONOR SYSTEMS [ICHIGAN AMONG LATEST TO ADOPT PLANS IN EXAMS An investigation of the country's niversity newspapers for the last few aonths discloses the fact that Mich- gan has not been alone in its at- empts to come to a conclusion on the dyisability of introducing the honor ystem. A simple classification may be made universities in regard to their at- itude on the matter of permitting the tudent body to follow its own in- linations in regard to whether or not , cheat on examinations. There is, rst, the large number of schools rho, not having the system now, say othing of it. Then there are the in- titutions which now employ the sys- and when examination time comes placards are posted about the campus and little slips are enclosed in exam- ination tablets bearing the legend, B2. At no time during the 'stress of the critical period of the semester is the student allowed to forget that he is pledged to a loyal upholding of the honor of himself and classmates. The University of California is aim- ing for a better working of the sys- tem than it has apparently displayed so far. A committee has been ap- pointed by the student council to in- vestigate and take steps that will bring about its more successful ap- plication in the future than has been true in the past. A publicity cam- paign is to be carried on looking to- ward improvement by education. The duties and privileges of the honor sys- tem are to be laid before the student public, and speakers are to discuss:it' on the campus and explain it in detail. Committee Looks After System. Northwestern has had an honor committee appointed to look after the m and find it satisfactory. They, maintenance of the system. The com-E ake no mention of it in their pub- mittee is typical of those in use in cations, accepting it as an everyday several universities and consists of ature of their existence which calls two members each of the three upper r no comment. Princeton i's a strik- classes and the freshman member of g illustration of this class, the honor the student council. Its duty is to rstem now in use there being of such hold regular meetings, hear evidence, tion to report any infraction of the rules. 3. Freshmen are not admitted under its working. Ths system has not proved effica- cious, and an investigating committee reports that the sole and chief diffi- culty lies in the unwillingness of stu- dents to report their fellows. A hot campaign has been carried on lately, those opposed to the system circulat- ing a petition to have it abolished and a strict proctor system instituted, and the freshman class having circulated a petition to be included under the system. A questionaire covering the value of the system to the students and the attitude they take toward cheating has been circulated but tabulated reports are not yet available, and it is a close question as to whether the system will be retained. Washington is also holding a ques- tionaire, the purpose of it being to determine the advisability of insti- tuting the system. Kansas and Oklahoma Against It Direct opposition to the system has been manifested at Kansas and Okla- homa. At the former, the university senate held an investigation of the system and advised against it, on the grounds that there would be many willing to take advantage of the op- portunity for getting through exam- inations on the' strength of someone else's work. At Oklahoma, a vote on the system resulted In its defeat by a majority of 82, 450 votes being cast for it and 532 against. The system advocated, con- sidered failure to sign the pledge at the end of examinations as an infrac- tion of the rules. The Honor System at Michigan The honor system at the University of Michigan has been periodically ad- vocated, and used for some time in several of the departments of the Uni- versity. The Medical school has had it for some years, while the Engineering college but recently put it into use. The Student Council held a ques- tionaire on it late last semester, which showed a sufficient number in favor to adopt it in the Literary college. ' , ,.

Directly offsetting these silent folk who are content with their situation, whether it be one of self government or faculty supervision, there is the large quota of universities seeking more light on the matter. They con- sist of those who already have used or are still using the system, but are liscontented with its practical work- ings and are stormily debating the :uestion of its abolition or continu- ance, such as Minnesota, and those who have never tried the plan and are engaged in controversy over the probable success of its introduction. Ohio State Has System There is still another group which, having the system, is employing its imagination and knowledge of human iature to make -and keep its applica- ion efficacious. Ohio State university is one of the Last. It adopted the honor system in 1916 and has a novel method of re- minding the university public that it is on its honor during examinations. The terse motto, B2, has been adopted, decide on' the guilt or innocence of the accused, and recommend a course of action to the student council. Pennsylvania anticipates the em- ployment of stringent measures to punish violators as a means of strengthening its system. There, also, more publicity is to be given the workings of the plan, with an aim to instruct freshmen particularly as to what it means to the university. The authorities complain that the first year men fail to realize the import- ance of strict adherence to the rules laid down, and of refraining from crib- bing in examinations. Minnesota Debates Its Retention Minesota, which has had the honor system in operation since 1912, is fin- ally placing it before the student body for a decision as to whether to con- tinue or drop it. The salient feature of the methods employed at Minnesota are these: 1 The pledge that the student has neith- er accepted nor given aid must be signed at the end of the examination paper. 2.
