Honor Pledge New students must recite the Honor Pledge before they sign their laitls. I, as a student and citizen of Mary Washington College, do hereby resolve to uphold the honor of the college by refraining from giving or receiving academic material in a manner not au- thorized by the instructor; from the illegal appropriation of the property of others; and from the deliberate falsification of facts. I shall do all in my power at all times to create a spirit of honesty and honor for its own sake both by upholding the Honor System myself and by helping others to do so. I understand and accept the Honor System and the Honor Constitution. I realize that a plea ignorance will not be accepted by the Honor Council. I futher understand that a violation of the Honor Code could result in my expulsion from the college. This year graduating seniors and faculty were invited to Con- vocation for the first time. QMETHING AT CONVOCATION This year more people witnessed Honor Convo- cation. For the first time, graduationg seniors and faculty were invited to attend the ceremony. Convocation is the time when the final step to be- coming a studnet at Mary Washington takes place. President Anderson and the Honor Council pres- ident speak on the impor- tance of the Honor Sys- tem. The Honor Pledge is recited and then the Honor Pledge Cards are signed. And now the members of the freshman class are official members of the college community. If it were not for the Honor System here at Mary Washington, this school would not be what it is today. The final step in becoming a student at Mary Washington, signing your honor pledge card. 22 - Student Life
