COLUMBIA OPPOSES HONOR SYSTEM

After having learned the position of the student body in regard to the institution of the honor system the faculty of Columbia University has decided to drop the plan because of the opposition of a majority of the students. The undergraduates were unwilling to bind themselves by the clause:

"Every student of the college shall be expected to lend his aid in maintaining this constitution, and to report to the committee of ten any fraud observed by him in any exercise conducted under the honor system."

Except for this reservation the system met with general approval. At Williams also this phase of the honor system has been the most difficult to enforce.
