THUS HONOll 8YHTWM AT WILLIAMS,
An lntoroHtliiK luttor has latoly boon
ropi-lvoil from WIllluniH i'oIIpro doHorlh-
Iiik tin- so-cnlloil "honor system," ono
form of which has boon Introduced

nistem In needed In evory student budy,
ii.. -no will (Hiootlon, but loin; uxnorl
ni'iit iniiy bo noeuHsiiry to determine
.. he iii-Mt method.
I'mler tho nyatom adopted at Will
laniH, which Is niodellod nttor tlio ono
In voruo at l'rlneeton, tho greatest oh
fllblc freedom Ih allowed to the Htudont
during " oxnmliiiitlon. He nmy tall?
with anyone whom ho pleimuH, or ho
may lenve the nxini freely and return.
Tho Instructor may bo present In tho
room, but not for the supervision of
the students In respect to dishonesty.
An Instructor ban no authority to re
port a Htudont for dishonesty except
on the written ovldono of tho exam
ination paper Itnelf. A recent ease wan
of this kind when one student copied
from ft neighbor's paper. At tho Clowe
of the examination each Htudent writes
on his paper that ho ban neither re
celved nor Riven any aid, and signs his
statement.
Of course, hiioIi freedom its ban b en
described must bo thoiiiuRbly Riiarded
by the sentiment of tho entire Instltu
tion. and the machinery of the organi
zation must bo Hiich ns to moot all
cases. Tho form of organization nt
"Williams lfl vory simple. Tho whole
matter Is In tho hands of a student
committee, consisting of four seniors,
throe Junior, two sophomores and ono
freshman. To this committee any Htu
dont may report another for dishonesty,
A four-fifths vote of the committee Is
then necessary for conviction. The
s.-Mtlty of the punishment Increases
according to the time a student has
boon In college. In the case of an up-r-i
i lassman tho recommendation from
t!' Htuduit committee Is usually "sep
aration from tho college," and sentence
Is pronounced accordingly.
"A Inrge majority of the students at
"Williams niv enthusiastic for the sys
tem, a f,v are Indifferent, a few
hostile. "
It must be granted that It Is a sys
tem full of perils and that great wisdom
is m-ccssnrj. in carrying It out success
full. cmij experience will show
whether one student will actually In
form against another In case he de
tects him In dishonesty. Hut oven If
they do not the effect of the system
will unqiii -tlonably be to reduce dis
honesty for a time.
A peril t'i the system N that one
fourth of the whole number nf students
comes in fre.sh from schools every year,
many of the with the habit of cheating
already acquired

The following is from the Alumni
Princeton lan
' Manj wi ri the doubts expressed by
those who cnllod themselves our friends
regarding the feasibility of the new
plan of holding examinations, when
first tried two years ngo. Hut these
rmn have been effectually silenced by
the success which has attended 'the
plan. By -the passing of these articles
(constitution regulating honor system)
the college has stamped the thing with
unqualified approval. It has taken two
years of 'trial to establish the Honor
System, and to secure for it the form
and stability of a written set of rules
or articles. But we may rest assured
that the spirit which was present In
the recent meeting will not die for many
a year.
"The unmistakable success of the sys
tem, even from its very first trial is a
most encouraging sign to 'those who in
the outside world see the degradation
of American honor which is so common
In politics.
"We hope that the article will be read
carefully by all our friends and that one
or two facts will be borne in mind, viz.:
that they were adopted unanimously
by a college mass meeting; that the
principle embodied has been tried with
success for two years and a half and
that they are lived up to. No more un
fortunate thing can happen to a man
than to bo seen violating even In the
slightest way the 'Honor System of
examinations" which In the north may
be well known as the "Princeton Sys
tem. "
