Srrra fflartar. 1911 O Itf l mtnr i ' ljalrm IHE school of Medicine of the University of Maryland is the oldest department of this old and honcired University, and it is therefore most appropriate that it sh(iuld have heen the first in this University to succKSSFULLV initiate the honor system at examinations. The adoption of the honor system might he said to mark an epoch in the history of the school and establishes a proud record for the Class of lOU, it being instrumental in having the new plan adopted by all of the medical classes. The Class of 1913 in its sophomore year was the first to adopt the honor system as far as itself was concerned. It was not. however, until December, 1910. that the matter was taken up by the Senior Class ( 1911 ). and at a special meeting the honor system was adopted without one dissenting vote. At the same time a committee of five, with Ernest S. Bulluck as chairman, was elected to confer with like committees from the other three classes. In a short time the committees of the several classes met and in joint session passed the following set of rules by which the honor svstem at this school will be governed : I. The Honor Committee of the School of Medicine of the Universitv of Maryland shall consist of twenty members, five members from each class, said five members con- stituting the Class Honor Committee. II. The Class Honor Committees shall lie elected annually by the popular vote of their respective classes, the nominations being open to all who may wish to be on the Honor Committee, and the five candidates receiving the highest numljer of votes shall be consid- ered elected. III. Each member of the llcmor Committee shall he required to sign the following pledge : I hereby pledge my word of honor that, upon notification, I will at- tend all trials concerning the infringement of the rules of the Honor System, placing my duty as a member of the Honor Committee above all others. I ' . Any student believed to have given or received aid in any final examination, either written or oral, shall be reported to some member of the Honor Committee of his class. The chairman of said Class Honor Committee shall, as soon as possible, and in not later than five days, call a meeting of the Class Honor Committee in conjunction with the chair- man of each of the other three Class Honor Committees, such body constituting the court before whom the accused shall be tried, said court being presided o ' cr by the chairman of the Senior Honor Committee. ' . This court, after hearing the evidence against the accused and after hearing his de- fense, shall decide upon his guilt or innocence. At least five of the seven judges must vote in favor of conviction before the accused is adjudged guilty. ' I. Upon being found guilty of cheating at an examination, the accused shall be ad- vised by the court to leave the school, and, if he does so, nothing further shall be done. If, however, the accused shall refuse to leave, the Faculty shall be told to expel him. ' l. If the accused, claimin g to have received unfair treatment, shall desire to make an appeal, he shall be accorded the privilege of having his case reviewed by an appeal court, consisting of the members of the Honor Committees of all the classes and three
