HomrGMirtte THE Honor Committee is typical of West Point. This body of men has in its keeping the traditions of honor which arc the guiding prin- ciples of all those who have graduated from the Academy or who have otherwise absorbed the spirit that underlies the West Point motto of Duty. Honor, Country. It is the function of the Coin mittee to smooth out difficulties, which in as elab- orate a system as tin West Point Honor Code, art- sure to arise. One fact concerning the Honor Committee may sound paradoxical. It is that the Honor Com- mittee is most efficient when it has least to do. It is plain that if the Committee can so arrange and expound its interpretations that no misunderstand- ings can arise, there will be no honor violations. This condition is th Committee. lim of each year ' s Hoik It might be well to stress to some extent the fundamental principle which is the basis for the Code, in order that the Honor System may be shown in its true perspective. This principle is that the Corps Honor depends on the honor of each indi- vidual Cadet. Thus the aim of the Honor Code i ' . to leave as much latitude as is possible to the conscience of the Corps. Believing that men are fundamentally honest and will react honestly to conditions which recognize that virtue, the West Point Honor System is constructed so as to suggest nit not to detail, almost all honor procedure, leav- ng the Spirit of West Point to guide the Corps.

S BudeNote? BUGLE NOTES, like The How- itzer, is an annual publication, and it performs a very real function for the Corps. It is a West Point encyclopedia, revised each year, and issued to the ravening multitude along in May. In it is to he found all conceivable information on every j)hase of life at our rockbound Highland home. From it the Plebe ob- tains that inexhaustible supply of poop which, to the casual observer, he seems to spend all his time memorizing. And the Upper Classman is always going to it for such odd bits of knowledge as the postage rate to Squash City or the number of surplus tenths he has in math. Bugle Notes enjoys the unlimited confidence of the Corps. Not so long ago two men were slugged because, when it came to a disagreement between their leave orders and ' Bugle Notes as to the day fur- lough ended — they bet on Bugle Notes, and came wending their way blissfully in on September 1st. But for all of that, Bugle Notes is final, authoritative, and unquestioned — in the Corps at least. Without it we would be lost. Page three hundred thirty
