Reduced to its simplest terms, it requires that a man or woman shall act honorably in all the relations and phases of student life. Lying, cheating, stealing, or breaking one ' s word of honor are rightfully con- sidered infringements of the Honor System and result in dishonorable dismissal from the University. It has been said that the University of Virginia writes her highest degree on the souls of her sons. Especially is this true of the Honor System. It is difficult to imagine a student ' s attending for e en a single session without assimilating at least a modicum of that high sense of personal integrity that characterizes the student body of Jefferson ' s University. To the alumnus who revisits scenes of his college days the Rotunda is more than a creation of architectural beautv. To him, its symmetry, its purity, and its nobility are personifi- 23 cations of an ideal of conduct and character that are indchbh associated with the University of Virginia. To describe the Honor System as a priceless heritage is to speak tritel - but truh ' . What makes a unix ' ersitv great? Sureh- it is not merely the number of students enrolled. Nor do beauty and amplitude of buildings and grounds, JefFcrsonian though they may be, determine greatness. A con- gregation of noble minds is perhaps the surest test, and yet a faculty roster of distinction and prestige is not the final measure of the worth of an institution. Does not the greatness of a uni- ersity lie in the nnpress it makes upon the minds and character of tliose who come under its influence? Weighed in the balance with other alues m life, personal integrit ' and honor are properly assayed as the most precious elements in the education of a man. The contribution that the Honor S stem makes to the realization of this ideal is indeed priceless — not the system alone, but the high regard in which it is held and the jealousy with which it is guarded by the students of the Universitv. The Honor System uas inaugurated oyer a cen- tury ago. While sentiment for some plan of this kind had no doubt been in process of crystaliza- tion, it is generally agreed that St. George Tucker was directly responsible for its adoption. A dis- tinguished lawyer and jurist, Judge Tucker came to the University in 1841 as Professor of Law. He had previously declined the offer of a similar posi- tion in 1825. However, a desire to spend more time with his famih than he as able to arrange as a member of the Circuit Court of Appeals, together with the fact that his sons were now of an age for collegiate training, prompted Judge Tucker to accept a second tender of the professorship. Professor Tucker is described by Philip Alexander Bruce as a man of commanding talents, ripe experience, and charming person- alit ' . He ' as not simply a distinguished prac- titioner at the bar, writes Dr. Bruce in his Histoiv oi the Univeisitv oi Viiginia; he had alread ' won an extended reputation as a teacher in the pri ate law school which he had established at W inchester; had Titten a eommentar - of the laws of Virginia, ' hich was held in just esteem by the profession; and had presided with great learning and easy dignity over the Court of Appeals. The polish of his manners as remark- able e en in that superior social age. Moreover, like most of the prominent Virginians of those times, he was deeply versed in polite letters . . . An indication of Tucker ' s reputation is that he was appointed chairman of the Faeult ' b ' the Board of Visitors at the same meeting at which he as elected professor of law. He ' as subse- quenth ' reappointed in July 1842 and in July 1843, and, but for failing health, might ha ' e been continued in the position indefiniteh ' . Bruce states that he performed the duties of his chair- manship with that unfailing fidelity, thorough- ness, and geniality which characterized ever ' phase of his fruitful and varied career. The chair- man of the Faculty incidentally, was for nearly a century the highest administrative post at the Uni ersit ' . It was not until 1904 that Dr. Edwin A. Alderman became the first president of the Uni ' ersity of Virginia. Tucker ' s chairmanship marked the beginning of a period of expansion and reformation. The student body increased in number, the faculty was enlarged, new courses were introduced, and additional classrooms were provided. The regu- lations requiring students to rise at dawn and to wear a prescribed uniform, a constant source of friction and discontent, were re ' oked. A new- spirit of self-government, the ideal which JefFer- 24 son was so anxious to realize, began to emerge. The establishment of the Honor S} ' stem repre- sents the most significant aspect of this gradual maturation of an institution. It was in 1 842 that Professor Tucker presented the following resolution which was immediately- adopted h the faculty: In all future written examinations for distinctions and other honors in the Uni ersity of Virginia, each candidate shall attach to the written answers presented by him in such examinations a certificate in the following u ' ords, ' I, A.B., do hereby certify on honor that I ha ' e derived no assistance during the time of this examination from any source whatexer, whether oral, written, or in print, in giving the above answers. ' This pledge was later extended to include gix ' ing as ' ell as recei ' ing aid. The present form of the pledge appended to all quizzes and examinations at the Uni ' ersity reads, I hereb ' eertif ' on honor that I have neither given nor recei ' ed assistance upon this examination. During the years prior to the adoption of the Honor System the most elaborate precautions were taken to prevent cheating. A committee of professors supervised the administration of each examination. Students were forbidden to speak or to leave their seats until the examination had been completed. This rigid and relentless super- vision seems to have provoked a competitive spirit among the students to circumvent its restrictions. The suspicious attitude of the faculty toward the integrit - of all no doubt weakened the sense of moral obligation to act fairly. The adoption of the Honor System with its implicit faith in the word of the student marked a new era in relations between the faculty and student body. It ' as several years before the numerous restric- tive regulations governing the administration of examinations were revoked. However, it became increasingly evident that the student felt a strong sense of personal obligation not only to abide by his own pledge but to see that other students were faithful to theirs. As time went on, the enforcement of the Honor System passed more and more from the control of the Facultv to that of the student body. In fact, it became a matter of jealous concern among the students that they be given the proper peroga- tives in matters affecting their honor. It was not until after the War Between the States that the Honor S ' stem reached its full fruition and became the exclusixe instrument of the students. It was the -, rather than the faculty, who forbade violators of the pledge to return to the University. The right of appeal to the Faculty was abolished. The function of the presiding professor at an examination became that of an adviser and con- sultant rather than a suspicious overseer. Any- thing remotely resembling espionage by the Faculty during examinations came to be regarded as unwanted and unjustified. The Honor System today is a student code, interpreted and administered exclusi ely by the student bod -. In the words of the catalogue, It imposes no burden on the faculty. Experience 25 has shown that the students themsel es are its sternest guardians and executors. From the in- ception of the system in 1842 to the present time there is no record of anv faculty action against a student for violation of the Honor S stem. It is indeed a precious heritage. The actual machinery of the Honor Svstcm can best be understood b - reference to the printed Explanation of the Honor System with which each student is familarized upon his entrance to the Uni ' ersity. The outstanding features of pro- cedure in cases of suspected iolations of the s stem are as follows: 1. Any student believing that breacli of the Honor System has been committed shall, with the assistance of such students of the University as he may desire to call upon, investigate the matter as secretly and speedily as possible. After a thorough in estigation, if the} belie -e the sus- pected person guilty of a violation of honor, they shall demand that he explain his conduct. In case the investigating group is satisfied that the suspected student is not guilty of improper con- duct, there shall be no further proceedings, and nothing connected with the case shall be made public. If, after hearing his explanation, or after he has refused to make an explanation, the in estigators are still convinced of his guilt, they shall demand that he leave the University at once. 2. The accused must then either lea ' e the Uni- versity, or demand of the President of his Depart- ment that the Honor Committee be convened to try the case. The case shall be tried as soon there- after as is conveniently possible, giving primar} ' consideration to the accused. 3. The Honor Committee shall consist pri- marily of the Presidents of the five departments of the University. When sitting upon a trial, the Vice-President of the department of which the accused is a member shall constitute the sixth member of the Committee. 4. On the trail of a case, the President of the Department of which the accused is a member shall act as the Chairman. Minutes of the trial shall be kept by an employed stenographer if pos- sible, or by the departmental vice-president form- ing the sixth member of the Committee. These minutes shall be in the custody of the Honor Committee, and it shall be their duty to see that they are properly stored for safe-keeping from year to year. 5. On conviction of the accused, the Chairman shall report the name of the convicted student and the nature of the offense of which he was found guiltv to the Registrar, who shall notify his professors, parents, and the Alumni Secretary. In case the accused is declared innocent, the minutes of the trial shall be immediately destroyed. 6. At the trial before the Honor Committee, both sides mav be represented by counsel from the student bod ' , but not otherwise. Such counsel shall have the privilege of examining the witnesses with relation to the facts of the case, but no argument shall be permitted except at the request of and within the discretion of the Honor Com- mittee. The accused shall be at liberty to say what he chooses in his own defense. Witnesses in 28 a case are, of course, upon their honor to disclose all pertinent facts. 7. If, after thorough trial, five of the six who compose the Honor Committee are convinced of the guilt of the accused, and shall so cast their otes in a secret ballot, the accused must lea e the Uni ersitv immediately. 8. In case the accused lea es the Uni ersity without trial by the Honor Committee, the ac- cuser shall notify the President of his department of the name of the offender and the nature of the offense. Following such notification, the Honor Committee shall take action to record the facts in the same manner as if the case had been tried before them. The status of the accused under such circumstances is the same as though he had been found guilty by the Honor Committee. 9. From the decision of the Honor Commit- tee, there shall be no appeal. 10. A case resulting in a verdict of guilty may be reopened onlv upon the production of new- evidence bearing directlv on the question of guilt. Any person seeking to reopen a case shall appear before the Honor Committe and state the nature of the e idence. The Committee shall then con- sider whether the evidence is sufEciently relevant to warrant a re-trial. If a case is reopened, it shall be entireh ' retried. 11. On the first Monday night of the session at a meeting of all first vear men, a speaker selected h the Honor Committee shall explain the principles of the Honor System. To further insure that evervone is acquainted A ' ith the system, members of the Honor Committee shall meet the first year men in small groups and dis- cuss the system with them in great detail. More important even than the svstem itself are the principles that underlie its successful opera- tion. Of primary importance is the fact that the students must be trusted. To quote from an exposition of the Honor Svstem published in 1935, Unless students have the feeling that they have the fullest trust and confidence placed in them they will have no incentive to throw all their personal energ - into the successful operation of the svstem. The obligation of maintaining the honor s stem rests direeth ' upon the students of the Uni ' ersit -. It is thev who are moralh ' obligated to in estigate suspicious circumstances and to see that guiltv students are detected. To quote again, this time from the current printed explanation which each student is asked to post in his room: It is imperati ' e that everyone recognize this dut ' of protecting the Honor System and the student bod ' . An one who sees a fellow student in suspicious circumstances and fails to imesti- gate the matter is himself guilt ' of a breach of honor. Lo alt ' to the student bod - demands that one make this investigation. This can no •a • be described as spving or tale-bearing. It is the finest expression of lovalt ' to a cherished tradition of honor among a community of self- governing students. The Flonor Committee, duly elected h the students, represents the opinion of the students in this Uni ' ersit - and is in no way responsible to the faculty. It is e ident from the ery nature of the Honor S stem that it should not be overloaded. Briefl - stated, the s stem demands that e erv student at the Uni ' ersitv conduct himself as an honorable gentleman. Students ha ' e been dis- missed for cheating in the classroom, ' iolating athletic or dance pledges, cheating at cards, cash- ing bad checks, and stealing or h ' ing under vary- ing circumstances. These are obviously dishonor- able actions. Manv other types of conduct, lepre- hensible and heartih ' condemned by the Honor Committee and all good citizens, are not included in the Honor S -stem because they are primarih- 29 matters of personal concern. In the words of the Committee, it is essential that the Honor System shall concern itself solely with those offenses which are classified as dishonorable by the public opinion of the student generation involved. The students of the Uni ersit ' ha ' e successfully resisted every effort to place an ' thing under the Honor System which is not a matter of honor. In some institutions petty administrati e regulations have been made a part of the honor code. At Virginia a man ' s word of honor is highly re- garded. Its use to regulate trivialities is regarded as dangerous and inimical to the best interests of the Honor System. A man is dismissed by his fellow students not because he has broken a rule of the University but because he has broken his word of honor. The Honor System must be limited to matters that are clearh ' dishonorable. On one occasion William Minor Lile, for many years dean of the Law School at the University, was asked if he believed in the Honor System. Yes, as I do in the Christian religion, was his reply. Such an expression of faith is striking, yet it is shared by those who have lived closest to the University of Virginia. The passage of time has served only to demonstrate more forcefully the wisdom and effectiveness of a system of self- government that appeals to the best that is within us. Were Jefferson alive today, he would be especially proud of this aspect of life at the institution he fathered. The Honor System is truly a priceless heritage. To have experienced its influence is to have developed a feeling of ethical maturity and re- sponsibility that is both ennobling and enduring.

What was begun is finished and we start anew. We look back without regret to our beginning, a humble and a meager one in which we shared enthusiasm and dread, e were not alone, vet never so loneh ' , but that soon passed as did those four swift vears. The loneliness is past and we are lost in the memory of it . . . and other memories . . . thev come crowding back, different for each person et reallv all the same. Joy, Sor- row, Anger, Tears, and Laughter; each one brings a special person, a special event to our minds, and we think and dream until we are lost in the re eries of a gav world ... a sad and weary world. Four years . . . how exerlastingly long it seemed on that fall da - of September 1941; how short in June 1945. Such a multitude of events cross our minds! Our first week as freshmen . . . October and the kid part ' . . . but we were all kids. With December we learned that wars arc not found only in historv texts. September 1942, not already? October and we experienced the horrors of catastrophe and flood. December, carefree holidavs, and a winter, cold and snow , onlv making the spring a more welcomed guest. Another September, and we inherited the privileges of juniors. We inherited also the thrills of a Ring Dance on the roof garden and all the jovs of being an upperclassman. October 1944, we donned our regal caps and gowns for the first time. Then we proceeded to displav latent talents when the Benefit made history, and we saw more history made ... a fourth term; we learned that the right to vote is inherent among a free people. Winter ... it almost flew. Spring 1945, and as Nature takes on a new dress, we too wore our caps and gowns, folded them carefully, and took upon ourselves a new clothing for a new world. We look back onlv with the thought of learning from the past to build a better future; a future in which there is hope for everv man, regardless of creed or color; a future in which the drone of planes overhead will no longer inspire fear; a future in which our letters will no longer have free in the upper right hand corner but where there will be written in the face and heart of every man the word freedom. Yes, with no regrets for the past we look to the FUTURE. 52 SEiHIOR CLASS OFFICERS Piesident . Vice-Piesident Secretary . . Treasurer Historian Sponsor . . . . Gloria Mae Post . Edhh Lane Gale .

Three do -n — one to go! Yes, here t are, ready for the last lap of our journey toward our degrees — degrees which are to us not only the s ' mbol of four 3 ' ears of eollege education, but also a symbol of all those seemingly tri ' ial but tremendously important things that go to make up life on a college campus. It seems eyer so long ago since we first stepped off the trains in Fredericksburg trying desperately to control our quiyering hands and shaking knees. So much happened that first exciting ear! Registration and orientation, the kid party, and the flood with yater, more water and typhoid shots, were just a few of the moments ' e ' ll ne ' er forget. Our sophomore year proyed to be just as excit- ing and eyen more precious to our memories. Not only were we ushered into the categor - of upper- classmen, but we began to make closer friends and feel more like a real part of Mary Wash- ington. One of the high spots of the year was our colossal presentation of 7 come 11 , the Sophomore benefit. September 1944 — Juniors! and what ' s more. Juniors at Mary W ashington College of the Uni- ersity of Virginia! With it came li ing in the Tri-Unit, haying our fingers measured for our rings, the Junior Benefit, Vogue Varieties , with all the beauties (and otherwise) of MWC, May Day, and, last but certainly not least, Junior- Senior dance. Through it all tr ing to do our part to aid the war effort, we bought bonds, collected tin and paper, donated blood, and wrote to our MEN in the seryice. but tomorrow — e shall be Seniors! 95 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS President Jean Tillery Vice-Piesident Dorothy Myers Secretary Lelia Marsh Treasurer Elizabeth Harrison Sponsor Dr. R.

From books and worries, more or less, To laughter, fun, and happiness At Lyceums, benefits, and all the gay dances, A most happy memory through our mind prances. The Honor Code was our greatest pride, One thing by which each did abide. Back to the C Shoppe bottles did go, ' Twas little things that made it gro ' . The irons still six in Virginia Hall, as another accomplishment we recall. Peanut week -ent off ith a bang; The whole affair rcalh ' rang With gaiety, humor, and Christmas cheer.

This fact alone ga e a boost to our ego because it meant that we would be acti e in the changing phases of the college during the ensuing four years. We were here at last! Big girls and little girls, some with eager looks of anticipation, others obviously more dubious about this new life into which we were being initiated, but soon the upperclassmen had us feeling we pla ' ed an impor- tant role, too, in campus life. Gct-acquainted parties were much in ogue and not one of us missed the orientation program! The Y leaders took charge of our spiritual and social acti ' ities, acti ities which lea e happy memories. Naturally studying played a large part in the li es of the serious-minded girls — for serious- minded we were when we arri ed in the fall. Adhering to the sage who once said, All work and no pla ' , etc. , we were influenced to budget our time to include some gala events. Who will e er forget the gay Cornell Follies and Willard ' s Thanksgi ' ing party, not to mention the innumer- able sports in which we Freshmen held our own? Of course, our formal reception in the Hall of Mirrors was the highlight of the year, rixaled onh ' by the benefit we whipped up in cooperation. The paths to the better things of life finalK ' ha e been opened to us, for which we are deeph ' grateful. Association in work and play with our fellow students has stimulated lasting friendships.

Because the Young W omen ' s Christian Association plays an increasingh ' large part in our social and spiri- tual life, we were chosen to train newcomers in the traditions and acti ities of Y . We have not been disappointed. The spirit of willingness to work and learn was never more evident than with the girls new to the campus. Leaders within the groups, which bore distinguishing Greek names, aided us in preparing the future directors who will guide the destinies of this campus organization. 158 FRESHMAN COMMlSSIOKi MEMBERS: Anne Barnes, Bettv Bennett, Roseman- Brooks, Emily Bundy, Virginia Cooper, Frances Cox, Jean Downing, Kathryn Glazier, Angela Grizzard, Helen Henrie, E elyn Landgrow, Barbara Leeuwenburg, Lucy Lom- bard, Nor -ell Millner, George Schierra, Mary Sheffield, Helen Singleton, Janice Steele, Nancy Taylor, Virginia Watkins, Lina White, Carol Williamson.

Honor students of the college, maintaining the required scholastic record, are bid into the frater- nity and may ad ' anee through the three degrees of novice, apprentice, and master membership. The initiation ritual of the organization lends atmosphere, the monthly social gatherings bring the group together, and the compatability of the large membership makes the club a success.

Our Eta Eta cast has won acclaim as actors, techni- cians, and stage designers, and the efforts of this honorar ' society have created a lively interest in the field of dramatics, not only for the partici- pants, but for the spectators as well. Each weekday afternoon, when the day ' s studies are drawing to a close, the members of Pi Sigma Kappa, their associates, and their instruc- tors, pro ide a fitting pause via the air waves. The importance of speech in the future is the problem which this societv faces and which it is attempting to remedy by encouraging debates, speech contests, and particularlv, radio broadcasts. Among the students, the primar purpose of Pi Sigma Kappa is to train its members for a world in hich good speech and diction will be a stepping-stone to success. OFFICERS President Hild.

What could be more bewildering to a freshman, as she finds a few moments to turn its pages and sees all the Do ' s and Do not ' s which it contains?

We gave to the refugee children in England and the Chinese students, so eager to carr - on their education. We gave to our own American prisoners of war, whose liberty has been lost behind barbed wire. We were able to do this because the budget of our Chest in- cludes local, national, and international organiza- tions, with the exception of the Red Cross.

Sponsor 204 In an effort to carry out their central theme, that of giving students a sane program of athletics and recreational activities to balance the strain of a busy life and to build efficiency in sports, the Athletic Association was a veritable beehive this year. Sponsoring projects in a continuous stream, the organization v ' as under the leadership of Ruth Hurley and her aides, a capable staff of officers, which included Elaine Heritage, Ann William- son, Jacqueline Van Gaasbeek, and Anna Fortmann. In the earlv fall, A.A. welcomed the Frosh with plavdav and their inimitable opening pro- gram, and later followed up one success with another, the Halloween benefit. Meanwhile members played hockey, chased tennis balls, and galloped through woodlands. It was January when intramurals (basketball to the laymen) began, and it was still winter when plans for Devil Goat day were formulated and put into effect. Spring might ha e been a little late this ' ear , but the A.A. members dragged the ground-hog with them down to the pool for a splash and to the stables for the spring horse show. A.A. brought its acti ' ities to a successful close with acti e participation in the May Day dances. 205 TERRAPIJi CLUB If vou have watched the Terrapin Club during a workout you probablv have seen the beauty of body, ease of mo ement, and timed coordination which these girls ha ' e de eloped. You ha e seen them one by one take three steps, spring, disap- pear into the depths with the slightest splash, breaking the water gentlw and swimming away gracefully. Among the members who are chosen because of their swimming abilit ' , there is Lo ' e Wohnus, who is president; Dorothy Marvin, vice-president; and Meta Epsberg, the secretary-treasurer. Besides swimming for their own pleasure, these girls, ith the help of their sponsor. Miss Mary Manter, cooperate to present exhibitions and aquacades, and compete in the telegraphic meets. Not only is it well-known on the campus, but the Terrapin Club has made itself known all oxer the countrv b - placing first in the Southern Telegraphic Meet and third in the National Telegraphic Meet. They were also asked to be the national sponsors of the telegraphic swim- ming meets this ' ear. As you watch the Terrapin Club members you see their well-formed and well-trained skill; you realize that their efforts have not been in vain and that they will continue to bring gl ory to their club. 206 OUTITiG CLUB Flashes of color, plaids, blue jeans, saddle shoes, an}-thing old is suitable, for it ' s Sundav afternoon and the Outing Club is off on another jaunt.

Whether in or out of uniform the respect for the troop and its prin- ciples is ncN ' cr lacking in the members. The purpose of the Cavalry Troop has become broader as the organization has stood the test of time. Formed after the outbreak of war for the purpose of having a disciplined group of horse- women able to aid in anv emergenc - in the vicinity, a need was later found for immediate goals toward which the troop might work. Thus the classification of the Cavalr - Troop as a ser- ice organization came into being. Taking as its main project for 1944-45, the salvaging of scrap paper on the campus, the Troop is able to make a contribution to the col- lege as well as the nation. An ' ser ice of a military nature, such as guard dut ' upon special occasions on campus, is graciouslv gi ' en. The Ca alr ' Troopers are characterized b ' a willingness to work, a seriousness of attitude toward discipline, and an enthusiasm for play. 209 HOOFPRIKTS CLUB MEMBERS Betty Jane Altenberger Alison Bowen Ellen Campbell Louise Campbell Mildred Carpenter Anne E erett Jean Harper Jeannette Harrison Mary Harwood Marilee Hicks Susan Hoggard Ruth Hurley Virginia Kemp Murial MacLeay Micky Mills Imogen Murden Nancy Poehlmann Ellen Trimble Betty Waite Nancy Walke Betty Walsh Alice Wells Madeline Williams OFFICERS President Susan Fuss Vice-Piesident ....

THE CABIJi Up on the hill, away from the noise and rush of dormitory life, is the Cabin. Over a period of years this one room castle ha s been responsible for the delightful memories of girls as well as facult ' members. Anything can happen at the Cabin and it usualh ' does! Remember the time Diz sat on Samm ' s records? — and the dark night that Miss McKenzie fell in the brook? — and ho ' Ann crawled under the Cabin to turn on the water? — and when Miss Jones had trouble with the dog? Yes, we ' e had fun up there singing ' round the fire to the tunes of Short ' s guitar, eating potato salad minus the salt, burning the weenies , riting and reading poetry, or just sitting, deep in thought, as the flames made weird shadows on the ceiling. Friendships are formed and a gay comaradie grows that wiW alwa s bring fond remembrances of the Cabin. 214 jf - ' Ss tfc Hl ' sip i4p rfe ' jiIp ji! ' ilf ' iJr ' (f rilp kiMally Jnf ma!
