The Webb School honor system was begun soon after the school was founded in 1870 and has been used as a model in establishing similar systems at schools and colleges throughout the country. The members of this group are elected by their fellow classmates and are held in high esteem by the entire student body. For this reason these boys not only set the standard of honor at school but their influence is greatly responsible for the continuance of the reputation for honesty which Webb graduates now hold.
