THE HONOR SYSTEM
When is an Honor System not an Honor System* That is one
of the questions confronting Penn State men and women today. Its
answer is found in the statement that "an Honor System only exists
when it is rigidly enforced by a student body, and then alone." Any
other system is but a type of the old proctor system. This seems to
be the case at Penn State at present. During the past few years, and
in fact since the system was inaugurated, the number of students
who have reported others has been very small in comparison to the
cases reported as to be almost negligible. Last fall the Honor Com
mittee was forced to begin work on the cases left over from last year
that could not be taken up because at the close of final examinations
last spring the number who were reported by professors was so great
that time was a limiting factor. In the face of such facts, it can be
readily seen that after all it is the faculty men who are the only ones
really cooperating in the working out of the system. Hence it is but
a form of proctor system.
Again, in some case , , the professors refuse to leave the room
during the examination. They apparently do not have much faith in
the system Yet for its proper operation, these men should not re
main in the room, since the provisions require that the instructor be
not present unless the students desire his presence. Here again the
rules of the system are being violated
In the main, therefore, it is evident that something must be done.
The Honor Committee and many of the most prominent students to
college and themajority of faculty members are heartily in favor of
a REAL Honor System The limiting factor is student cooperation.
While it is true that there is much to be said, pro'and con, it remains
a fact that Penn State was almost the first large northern college to
inaugurate an Honor System. We hope it Will not be another to lay it
aside again. Yet one or the other must come about this year. The
present method of doing things cannot go on.
The COLLEGIAN invites student and faculty opinion on the
matter.
WAKE UP, UNITS!
- When the first booster mass meeting for unit men was called to
order last Tuesday evening, about forty men were present. Where
were the others? Some were unable to attend because of the clasp
meetings which unfortunately were held_at the some time, but the
others, the great majority, were probably attending to matters which
were vastly superior in importance to such a mere trifle as attending
a meeting which should decide the fate of the unit system at Penn
State.
- .
Those forty men are to be congratulated on their interest. They
at least realize that there is something to be obtained from a system
of cooperating units, that of the whole proposition is something
which will bring better days to Penn State and a better relationship
between her students. They will spread the news to others. Let us
hope that the others will be live enough to respond.
The small gathering could not decide the fate of the proposition
Sufficient to say, they were interested in its future. Another meet
ing will be held some evening next week Let every unit man who
has the interest of Penn State at heart and who wishes to derive
something from his college education other than a knowledge of
what is contained in books be present at that meeting.
