court before who.n the accused shall he tried, said court l)ciiig presided over by the Chair- man of the Senior Honcir Committee. . This court, after hearin.E; the evidence against the accused, and after hearing his defense, shall decide upon his guilt or innocence. At least five if the seven judges must vote in favor of conviction before the accused is adjudged guilt -. 1. Upon being found guilty of cheating at an examination, the accused shall be advised to leave the school, and if he does so nothing further shall l)e done. If, however, the accused shall refuse to leave, the Faculty shall be told to e.x])el him. ' ll. If the accused, claiming to ha ' e 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 nf the Honor Com.rittee of all of the classes and three members of the Major Faculty. At least two-thirds of the members constituting the appeal court must be present to constitute a quorum, and the votes of three-fourths of the mem- bers present shall be necessary to sustain the judgment and the decision of the lower court. There shall l)e no ajipeal from the decision of this second court. ' 1I1. No foreign language shall be used in the examination room. IX. The Professor who is giving the examination shall be requested to remain in the loom for the ])ur|)ose of answering any (|uestions of the students concerning anv part of the exa:nination, etc. X. No student shall be permitted to leave the examination room except for some ab- solute necessitv, and the student is to l)e accompanied by some one designated 1 ' the pro- fe.ssor in charge, said professor limiting the time of the students for staying out. XI. It shall be optional with each stu tlent whether he shall, by a written pledge, state that he has neither given nor received aid, but such a pledge is recommended. ' I ' he idea for which this system was designed is not to jjoint out the black sheep in our midst, but rather encourage the weaker members of our fold and instill into each and everv student ' s mind higher ideas, self-rel ' .ance, and make of us better men, both men- tally and morally, as well as spiritually. ' J ' hough the Honor Svsteiii was only an embryo at the close of last year, we never- theless feel proud of the fact that the mortality of the Senioi Class of last year was re- duced 50% lower than that of the previous spring examinations, and this was exemplified even to a greater degree on the Marvland State I ' oard, we having only one man to be found deficient. Of course, we would not lie so selfi-h as to contrib ute these results totally to the efifects of the Honor Svstcm, -et we arc truly justified in assu ning that to this much must be ascribed. 1 ' ))- consent of the I acult of I ' lnsics, in the future all medical catalogues shall allot a few lines in behalf of the Honor System, thus bringing its existence to the eye of each and everv prospective medical matriculate, and by so doing will obviate many minor diffi- culties. arising in the Freshman Class at the beginning of each scholastic year. As stated above, the Honor S stem is young, but the nourishment is abundant and nu- tritive. She is growing rapidly, and we pray that the time shall speedily come when we as alumni of the dear old University of Maryland can turn backward and see that the four departments have joined as one in upholding the ideals of the work which we must credit ourselves in ]ilanting the found ation, nameh-, Tlie Honor System.
