Article V 1. Violations of the Honor System shall consist of any attempt to receive assistance from written or printed aids, or from any persons or papers, or of any attempt to give assistance, whether the one so doing has completed his own paper or not. This rule holds both within and without the examination room during the entire time in which the examination is in progress, that is, until all papers have been handed in. 2. Violations shall also consist of obtaining or attempting to obtain, pre- vious to any examinations, copies of the examination papers or the questions to appear thereon, or to obtain any illegal knowledge of these questions. 3. Any undergraduate not signing the pledge placed upon the examination paper will be notified by the professor holding the examination, and if unable then to sign he will be reported to the committee for investiga- tion. Inability to sign t he pledge to an examination paper upon notifi- cation by the professor or by the committee shall be prima facie evi- dence of violation of the Honor System. •1. The pledge is as follows: ' 7 pledge my honor as a gentleman that, during this examination, I hare neither given nor received assistance. This must at all times be written in full and signed by the student. Article VI The several committees shall keep a record of all cases acted upon in their sessions, without mentioning the names of the accused, also a record of successive actions of mass meetings with respect to the Honor System. These records, together with the Constitution, shall be preserved by the senior members of the committee of each year, for the instruction of that committee. Article VII ThiE Constitution may be amended by a three-fourths vote of those pre- sent at a mass meeting of the college. Article VIII This Constitution shall be published in The Daily Princetonian during the first month of each college year, and within the week immediately pre- ceding the mid-year and final examinations. It shall also be published in a pamphlet, copies of which shall be issued to every man upon admis- sion to the University. To include members of the teaching staff and of the Graduate School. [ 35 ]

shall be recommendation to the faculty of the separation from the Uni- versity of the man or men convicted, with the addition in extreme cases of publication to a mass meeting of the college of such facts and names in the case as the committee shall see fit. This penalty shall be rigidly inflicted except as hereinafter provided in Article III, Section 2. 2. Recommendation to the faculty for alleviation of punishment shall oc- cur only upon unanimous vote of the entire committee. In case of such unanimous vote to recommend leniency the recommendation shall not be sent to the faculty until a second meeting of the committee is held one week after the first, at which time the motion for recommenda- tion of leniency shall be reconsidered. The accused shall not appear at this meeting. If this motion is again passed unanimously, it shall be forwarded to the faculty. If at this time the motion for leniency fails to pass unanimously, the recommendation to the faculty shall be for separation from the University. The punishment to be imposed in case a recommendation for leniency is made shall not be less than im- mediate suspension from the University for one term, i.e., eighteen scholastic weeks, taking effect as soon as possible thereafter. Such recommendation shall only be made in very exceptional cases. 3. The committee shall make a single report to the faculty of all cases acted upon during one series of examinations consisting of a brief resume of evidence taken, the decisions in the cases, and the recom- mendations of the penalties to be imposed. Article IV 1. The place and time of meeting shall be left to the chairman of the committee. 2. The trial shall be formal and conducted in the following manner with the president of the senior class as chairman, and the president of the junior class as clerk: Witnesses against the accused shall be heard first and their testimony taken in full; the accused shall be called separately and allowed to make his statement, presenting witnesses for his de- fense; all witnesses and the accused many be questioned by members of the committee; and a decision shall then be rendered according to the law and the evidence. 3. Six of the seven votes shall be necessary to conviction. 4. All evidence possible shall be procured in every case, and in no event shall a man be tried the second time for the same offense, except in the light of new and important evidence. [ 34 ]
