Whatever we decide, however we detail the workings of the Honor Code, we will have to practice what we preach. If the Honor Code is successful then it might serve as a model for the whole College.

Nobody has a theory or a scheme.
What we have is our experience, and what we fervently hope is our good sense. It is the students, of course, who will determine the success of our efforts, and who have the most at stake. This thought gives us courage and confidence. They are our future, and we look to that future with great excitement.
