HONOR IN UTOPIA
, Flom time to time discussion is re-opened upon the
talents of the honor $3 stem as opposed to the model
method as a means of eliminating cheating in exanuna
tions. Recently Mr. James T. Jackson a student at Hos,-
aid college, undertook an exhanstne survey of the honor
systems of American colleges and urnsersities He found
that the "opinions of the educational stolid in repaid to
the 'suers of the honor system vary from one extreme to
the other. Some think the *stem to he the basis for in
disidual chmactei building while others repaid the sihole
mcomment as a dismal failure"
Quoting drain a resume of Mr Jackson's survey pub
lished in the Johns Hopking Vera-Letter: "those who
fat or the adoption of the code point to the fact that a
system of faculty espionage stifles character growth The
maintain that the honor system, affording the individual
student the opportunity of being tempted and tried, de
',clops a much stronger and better personahty than that
produced under police methods The honot system intro
duces into the unisersity cloisters a deinotintic form of
government, teaching the students respect for law, de
veloping proper social attitudes and personal mitiaime
and Indelibly emphasizing upon the mind the ',aloe of co
operation and the necessity dm the acceptance of respon
sibility.
"Opponents of the system fugue that it does not
stamp out cheating. that the judgment of the students
composing the honor council is not mature enough to be
reliable, that a degree received under the honor system is
not north as much as one received Wider faculty super
vision, and that it necessitates tattling b) one student on
anothei "
In the first place the coupling of "system" with
"honor" is objectionable. In the ideal state of things a
true spirit of honor would not have to lean upon a "sys
tem" for support It would be strong enough to stand on
its nun feet. There could be no need for an honor conn
ed, no necessity for students to tattle on one anothei.
Hohoi could become nn attitude of mind, not an abstract
cord associated with tale bearing and court mathaling.
Honor would be n living part of each student's philosophy
of life It could be deeply imbalded among that group
of piinciples be cinch etely man guides his daily exist
ence. Deliberate violation of one's code of honor would
be considered one of the cardinal sacs - against self anti
socic4,y. In , the utopiaril college r theatervould, stomp
ed with such arsfigtno of social disapprotal that no 'vio
la* woulfl dale ?ace has companions without bowing
head in shame alto bas offense, much less boast of his
elm erricss in outwitting the powers that he And the
urge to scenic social approval is one of the most potent
farces of our tunes Nihau, as a reaction to the stein
Puritamorn of tine nation's infamy, there has sprung op
tendency to plate a piennum upon sheer clewiness or
dumb luck in Ineaking the laps of the country and society
Pith impunity, rather than upon the poser to acluese
success and happiness during this mundane span without
violating the laws which walk for the good of the ma
jority of mankind.
Penn State hat an Honor Code, but proctors ale stql
in sugar. The question arises, "Would it be better to place
the students elan ely upon their honor" Let us suppose
that such an experiment be tried. Then, if the majority
of students have leached the stage where they consider
honor and intrinsic worth above superhmal elcwerness,
the expetament will be successful and will deserve to be
come petmanent Both faculty and students would be
benefitted. If most of the undergraduates subscribe to the
doctrine, "it'. ttglit if you can gat away with it," it Is
the duty of everyone who has the interests of Penn State
at heart to foster the giowth of the true attitude of hon
or. It is the duty of every honotaly organization on the
campus, of every student leader to place the ideal of
honor above all else Perhaps the honor spirit is nut
suffiriently presalent among students to warrant a trial.
If not, we look form aid hopefully to the time when faculty
police can be abolished without risk of lowering the Heiloi

COLLEGE AND CHARACTER
Professor hum Edman of Columbia University is
quoted as saying, "It is very rare on a campus to find
genuinely vicious or depraved Amadora. But it is
equally rare to find character at all." Certainly Professor
