i ' CI I I Ml HARRY STINSON Among the many priorities of the College of William and Mary Is its Honor System. Established In 1779, It was the first to appear In any American University or College. While the mechanics of the system have been modified somewhat, the same fundamental underlying principles that molded the code of 1779 are prevalent today. It Is still, as in 1779, a rule of honorable conduct that every man, upon entering college, is expected to adopt as a part of life. The Honor System has as its essence Individual responsibility. Every student, then, be- comes an integral part of the system. The Honor System is not and was never Intended to be an idealistic doctrine too impractical for any man to accept. It is an attempt to achieve a state where ail men can live in an atmosphere of mutual trust and honesty. By Its very embodiment, the Honor System realizes the basic desire for honesty among those who pursue truth through knowledge. To all students here, the honor code offers confidence and faith In their efforts to attain and practice an honorable way of life. This Council is actually a small part of the Honor Sys- tem. Its purpose is to try violations of the code. In no way does the Council assume responsibility for the effec- tiveness of the system. The students themselves deter- mine whether or not the code is upheld. Unfortunately there are some who by committing offenses against the code evidence their incompatibility with a system upheld by their fellow students. As long as these persons remain In the student body, there cannot prevail a true feeling of faith in the Honor System. Hence, the necessity for an Honor Council. The Men ' s Honor Council Is composed of seven men, three from the Junior and Senior classes respectively, and one from the Sophomore class. From these are elected a Chairman, Vice-Chalrman and Secretary. The Senior representatives this year were Bob Jacobs, Tom Mikula, and Harry Stinson. From the Junior class, How- ard Hyle, Bob Sherry, and Tut Bartzen were elected. Harrison Tyler was elected from the Sophomore class.
