Excerpt from The Honor System in Colleges
One of the priorities of the College of William and Mary, in which the writer of this paper happens to be a teacher of philosophy, is that of having been the first to formulate and adopt the honor sys tem as a method of student government. Up to that time student government had been conceived and organized along lines closely analogous to a police system; In 17 79, however, the faculty of the College of William and Mary, inspired by their ideal of democracy and by their faith in human nature, appointed a committee to draft a plan of college discipline which should be in keeping with the liberal and magnanimous attitude of the college toward its students. The plan reported by the Committee was adopted and has been in operation at William and Mary ever since. And from William and Mary it has spread to other institutions, In more or less modified forms, until to-day it is firmly entrenched in the student life of America.
