Honor System at Yale?

The Yale student body will vote Monday on an honor system in examinations which has been recommended by the academic senior council, and approved by the faculty.

The plan provides for the withdrawal of all supervision of the faculty of the honesty of examinations and of other work in the college, and leaves the question of honesty to the sense of honor of each individual and to the public sentiment of the college as a whole. Each student, on entering college, is to sign a card showing his acceptance of the system. At the end of each examination paper, the student is to certify that he has complied with the requirements, but no one supervises him to see that he has done so. There is no provision for penalties by students or the faculty for violation of the system.
