L. to R.-T. Thompson. C Morgan. S. Dodek. R. Schwartzman. A. Eisenberg. ,l. Monroe. l. Bachman, D. Clark iilnnnr Glmmril One of the purposes of this school is to develop maturity in thoughts and ethics. The idea of the Honor Code is to coincide with this purpose of the school. It is taken for granted that each member of the student body has so grown in maturity that a police state, em- bodied in the Honor Code, would be quite out of place. Therefore, the code is here to back up a student whose personal code of honor has been violated in some way. Hc may then find an interpretation of the violation and guidance in the Honor Council. The ease with which the new code went into effect this year is a tribute to everyone at Friends. It forms a very solid basis for the position that the code is expected to hold next year. It also gave the Honor Council a positive attitude toward its most important job this year. This job was the finding and eliminating of loopholes in the code, and the forming of a foundation of precedents and opinions for future councils. The loopholes usually turned out to be simply phrases in the code that needed clarihcation. It was, however, the formal opinions on various violations and actual working procedure of the council that required the greatest deliberation.
