seenvtcme to indicate o most'impor
tunt ideals to bo held in the fore-front
in this whole discussion:
1. An honor spirit Is more to be de
sired than an: honor system. Such a
spirit can only be' brought al)6ut thru
an awakened student pubjic opinion.
2. Handing in the work of another,
siuch as a''h'ornbor noto'bobk, as one's
own Is dishoiiorable. '
3. Cribbing, ortlm accepting of as
sistance thru any dishonorable means,
whether in recitation, test, or exami-
nation, is a practice unworthy of a gen-
Ulemnn.
4, Giving aid at a recitation, test,
or 'examination is contrary to tho. best
.college sentiment, as It sacrifices the
higher interests of the college to a
motive of false kindness.
" 5. A better spirit is advanced when
an instructor, if present at a tost or
examination, shows his trust in the
students by not making a point of
trying to detect dishonorable acts.
