PRO AND CON
The Honor System is now at the cross-roads of its career. waiting
for the student body to decide its future destiny. The opinion of
every man should now be settled in regard to this question and ready
to vote with a settled conviction of right and wrong Thursday morning
If you believe that the Honor System has no chance of getting
more student support than it has gotten in the past year or two,
then you should vote to abolish the system and go back to the proctoi
system. The Honor System is made for honest men and goes on
the assumption that every one is honest. It will not make the cribber
honest and as long as the opportunity for cheating is provided the
Honor System will not be a success. It can only be a success if the
'students will see that the rules are enforced to the fullest extent
This can be accomplished very quickly if a comparatively few men
would take an open forceful stand in favor of the principles of the
system and would see that no cheating is tolerated in any class The
failure of the system in the past 'has been largely due to the fact
that the cribber has been allowed to merrily cheat his way through
, the hardest examination. It
,the honest student had taken it into
his hands to do the right thing and report the cribber in self defense,
the Honor System would not be in the present sorry plight Remember
the Honor System is for honest students only It will not make a
man honest or keep a man from - cheating, unless the student body
takes the law into its hands as provided in the honor code and stops
the crook.
If you believe that the efficiency of the system will be materially
heightened by the proposed changes suggested by the Faculty and
Honor Committee; if you believe that a separate Honor Committee
for each school will make the Honor System any more workable,
and if you believe that the extension of the Honor System to include
all classroom work as well as examinations will make it more of a
success, then vote to keep the Honor System with the changes
However, if you believe that a student has enough to do to answer
'the questions put to him fti an examination- without overseeing_the
quizzing of the'other men to see that no cribbing occurs, then vote
to abolish the Honor System. If you believe that a proctor should be
provided, whose duty it will be to relieve the student of his present
duty of seeing that there is no cheating, then vote for thd proctor
system.
Do not be misled into thinking that any changes in the rules of
the system will suddenly or miraculously change its efficacy. The
rules of the system may change the mechanism of the machinery but
it will - not make it any more of a success That can only be done by
a change in sentiment. The system has not been receiving the support
that has been due it from the student body, and this is the only reason
for the agitation for the removal of the system. An overwhelming
public sentiment in favor of enforcing the system might make it a
living and useful factor, but this cannot be accomplished by any change
in the regulations so much as by a change in sentiment. Remember
that one or two determined students in each class who will see that
the system is lived up to, by all, will turn the tide and save the system.
The Honor system without a doubt is the best system for the
honest student, but we must remember that we always have the dis
honest man in 'our ranks and we must also see that he is kept straight
in the examinations. There must be some authority to see that there
is no cribbing, and if under the Honor System the student body does
not enforce the high honor standard, then the faculty must step in
and provide the proper authority to protect the honest man
It is no disgrace to have a proctor system and it is a disgrace
to have an honor system that does not work It is of course a greater
credit to have a powerful Honor System which receives the undivided
student support. The choice is easily made. If you believe that the
system can not get more support than it is getting at the present
time and if you believe the proctor system is the best and safest, then
vote to abolish the Honor System; but if you believe that the Honor
System will be given' the much needed support of every Penn State
man in larger measure than has been given in the past, vote to retain
the Honor System.
