everyone is on the honor system. The

Tufts questions. which, it is said, have

follows:
"If the conductor neglected to take

Would you tell your teacher before

not lost the bitter, vitriolic style
which made his speeches in the cam.

He employs that same style in an ar

THE HONOR SYSTEM.
Professor Tufts, professor of phil

contemplating the adoption in his
classes of the honor system, which is
In vogue now in several eastern
schools. 1t includes placing the stu
dent upon his honor while preparing
an examination. He is not expected to
take advantage Of any laxity of disci-
pine nor to use any unfair advantage
in order to secure good marks. The
system has its advantages and its dis
advantages, and for that reason in
structors are always wary about adopt
Tag it. 1t is practicable and right for
a majority of every class in every col
lege. That is a safe proposition. but
there are. perhaps in every class also,
some students who will, if they see
the opportunity to do so unobserved,
take unfair advantages. Then, as far
as they are concerned, the system is
a failure.
But though there are people without
the requisite supply Of honorable in
stincts, in colleges as well as every
where else, the honor system is, gen
orally speaking, a good one. Those
who take unfair advantages Of 1t are,
sooner or later. made to understand
that they have lost the confidence and
friendship of the more honest class Of
students, and they learn then the les
son which is one of the most valuable
parts of the college education-that
honesty is the best policy. This les
sol does not. of course, have to come
in the college life. 1t is not in any
curriculum, but if a college career
teaches a student just this and moth
ing more, he is better prepared to
fight the battle of life than is the val
edictorian who secured his diploma
through unfair means and did not
think it worth while" to confess his
dishonesty to the faculty.
Professor Tufts has inaugurated a
rather odd but no doubt effective plan
for ascertaining the condition of his
class. His idea is to learn whether the
student would appreciate the honor
system and whether it would be safe
to apply it. Some of his questions
