ARE WE SLOW?
The mass meeting yesterday proved a very interesting affair
indeed, and the action taken by the crowd was quite gratifying. The
general opinion on the constitutional revision was favorable aiinough,
of course, there had to be considerable quibbling over parliamentary
details, which more or less antagonized the students towards the
entire meeting. It seems a shame that University students should
stop Important proceedings to argue over unnecessary details when
the same time might so profitably be spent in getting real Ideas.
Then when the honor spirit was presented, the attitude changed.
Strangely enough, this question which is causing so much comment
over the country, seemed to be thought an absurdity here. Is Ne
braska slow to take up a new idea, or are we just conservative?
This would be strange indeed, in the state which is supposed to be a
leading one in typical Western democracy. Last year, the idea of a
"Hello Pay" was scoffed at, and yet when actually tried proved to be
a highly possible proposition. Students who, while not intend. ng to
be snobbish or distant, had given that impression, found it a easy
thing to number many friends as real ones after all on the campus.
Let's consider this matter in a serious light and a modern one.
The present conditions at Nebraska demand that something be done,
and the situation must truly be serious when the majority of the stu
dents admit, even despair of affairs. The plan, which of course
could not affect some people because nothing ever would, would give
an additional incentive to those on the fence in the fight against
graft and cheating. The system, or rather 6pirit, is absolutely worthy
of consideration and Nebraska students are goingto give it that re
spect. Let's get behind it and try something that is worth while
once anyway!
AND AT CORNELL.
In considering the honor system of the leading eastern colleges
and universities we find that Cornell has been trying to serve two
masters and, like all others who have attempted the well-nigh impos
sible, has made but partial success of it. The University at Ithaca
offers a similar case to Pennsylvania; a university made up of several
colleges in some of which the honor system is enforced.
In the College of Civil Engineering and the College of Law there
exists an esprit de corps which resembles the traditional spirit of the
student body at Dartmouth. Self-respect, and the good opinion of
fellow-students, has proved so strong that no proctoring has been
necessary. The unwritten honor code is so generally accepted that
men are permitted to leave the examining room when they see fit.
This is of premier importance in the Law School since long and
tedious exams require periods of relaxation from time to time. The
large enrollment of the College of Agriculture has lead to the intro
duction of a signed pledge on each quiz book that no help has been
given or received. The instructors are present only long enough to
give out the questions.
But, as at Dartmouth, the system of proctoring in the college
proper at Cornell has been followed for a long time, and with the
same questionable results. In commenting upon the need of a new
system, the Cornell Daily Sun of February 20 says editorially, "Every
man who comes to college is supposed, at least, to be able to take
care of himself, to stand upon his own two feet and tackle the prob
lems that come before him. Cribbing is an admission of weakness,
a tacit acknowledgment that the student in question is unable to
stand with his fellows and must rely on dishonest practices for a
bolster
"As we see it the solution of the problem lies in the installation
of the honor system with upperclass sentiment behind It The honor
system works quite well in the colleges where it is given a chance
(1. e. Colleges of Civil Engineering, Law and Agriculture) and there
is no reason why the Colleges of Mechanical Engineering and Arts
and Sciences should not follow suit."
And again on February 21 the Cornell Daily Sun concludes,
"Every man who does his work conscientously has been pestered by
parasites who sit beside him and demand the answers for each ques
tion without consideration for a moment that they are preventing him
from doing his best work, that they are placing him in danger of de
tection, and finally that they are admitting that they need a prop to
pass the examination."
Cornell has the advantage of a direct contrast between the effects
of proctoring and the results of the honor system. That the com
parison is extremely disillusioning to the proponents of proctoring Is
demonstrated by the Increasing sentiment for abolishing it The
tendency at Ithaca would seem to Indicate an early interment of the
proctor. The Dartmouth.
