HONOR SYSTEM ADOPTED BY THE THAYER SCHOOL

The administration of the Thayer School of Civil Engineering has approved the following petition of the students of the Thayer School that the honor system be adopted for all examinations and tests:

"We, the undersigned classes of 1920 and 1921, in joint session, approved the honor system by an unanimous vote as being well in accordance with the spirit and traditions of the Thayer School, and we hereby respectfully petition that the honor system be adopted by the school.

"The administration of the Honor System shall be as follows:

"The instructor presents the examination and remains for about fifteen minutes to answer general questions. He is then to be in his office for consultation in regard to the meaning of the questions. At ten minutes before the end of the examination period the instructor returns to the examination room, gives notice of the time and remains to receive papers. Students who finish their examinations before the return of the instructor are to leave their papers at his office.

"Each class is to appoint an executive committee which is to administer the honor system. Conviction of dishonesty shall result in separation from the Thayer School.

"At the end of the examination each student shall sign the following statement: 'I have neither given nor received aid during this examination.'"
