l TT'T' TWT T 'T' iw - 'TT H0 QR CQUNCIL The purpose of our medical education is the provision of optimum care for our patients. To achieve this end medical education at the University of Michigan strives to provide the student with academic knowledge while at the same time foster- ing the further development of integrity and character appro- priate to a physician. The Honor System serves as a mode to achieve these goals of medical education. The Honor System has a rich history at the University of Michigan, being founded by, concerned with, and administered by students. In 1903, the student body Hrst issued a statement concerning cheating, but it was not until 1915 that a uniform Honor System was proposed which was concerned with the supervision and conduct of examinations. In 1924, the Board of Regents approved both the Honor System and the establish- ment ofthe Honor Council. In 1961, the Code of Ethics was added and the Honor System was expanded from its applica- tion to exams to encompass all student activities, especially the student-patient relationship, the student-staff relationship, and the use of hospital records. Presently, the Honor Council is composed of two members elected from each class, the functions ofthis administrative body including the interpretation and explanation of the Honor Sys- tem along with the investigation of any violations ofthe Honor Code. Because our Honor System is vitally concerned with per- sonal behavior and ethical conduct, it also becomes the function ofthe Honor Council to recognize ever-changing trends and val- ues ofthe medical student and propose revisions in the Honor System to keep it abreast ofthese. It is the sincere goal of the Honor Council that with this historical background and these views of the future, the Honor System may truly foster the goal of achieving academic prow- ess and further development of personal integrity for the students ofthe University of Michigan Medical School.
