COLLEGE HONOR SYSTEM
ELIMINATES CHEATING.
Not Single Instance of Exam. Evil in
Princeton for a Year, It Is
Stated,

PRINCETON, Jan. 16.-An announce
ment made by the student committee
on examir atoms under the honor sys-
tenn at Princeton University states that
during the college year 19O6-10O7 not a
single instance of cheating during ex-
animation was detected. For fourteen
years the honor system has stood the
test in the university, but each year
there had been one or two OF
cheating.
The system is this: At the opening
of an examination the professor distrib-
utes the examination papers and re-
any questions m then leaves the hall.
AS the student finishes the paper he
signs the pledge, 81 pledge my honor as
a gentleman that, during this examine
ton, l have neither given nor received
assistance" During the examination
period the student has full liberty.
No EVASION succeeds with the judges,
for they are students themselves.
Sometimes the judgment is acquittal,
but as no accusation is made unless
the proofs are clear, the verdict is usu-
ally guilty" The findings of the com
mittee are transmitted to the dean OF
the college, and twenty-four hours is
allowed the guilty one to withdraw vol
unfairly or appeal to the faculty. In
the absence of either, expulsion follows
as. a matter of course.

Trolley Man.

Charles Mccormack, a young man re-
siding in Orange, but who frequently stays
with friends in Boyden avenue. Hilton
was assaulted without a moments warn
ing by a man supposed to be a suspended
conductor on the Springfield avenue troll
ley line, this morning. MacCormack sus-
tanned a badly bruised face. The encounter
took place at Springfield and Boyden ave-
nues about 7:30 o'clock.
While MacCormack was waiting for a
car two men left a saloon there, and one
of them asked him If his name was not
MacCormack and in an instant dealt him a
terrific blow. With his companion, he
went back to the saloon, leaving a cap in
his haste. A few minutes later three
men, one OF them a young Hiltonian, who
is a conductor on the road. walked toward
Maplewood.
The South Orange Township police were
notified and Policeman Deffur fastened to
try to locate the men. but without sue
cess.
A few days ago MacCormack objected to
the rowdyism In a trolley car of persons
who had frequented the cheap dance halls
in Maplewood, but the conductor refused
to do anything, and MacCormack reported
the matter to the company. The con-
ductor, it is said, was suspended, and the
assault, MacCormack believes, was In the
nature of revenge.
