University of South Carolina Libraries
fonstitutionof The most worthwhile tradition at the University of South Carolina is the Honor Principle. It is not a dead cus tom but is a heritage whose working makes a university more than a cold, hard public institution. It makes it a large home for whose welfare every student is individually responsible. The University believes that every man who enters its walls does so with the intention of training himself to meet the responsibilities of life in whatever field of endeavor he enters. It is uporn this belief that our Honor Code is based. Every individual is trusted to do his best in his school work. The best implies moral as well as intellectual, responsibilities. Carolina feels that each student, knowing that every dishonest act in class work wounds the honor of his Alma Mater and be-smirches its good name, will alvpys strive to obey the highest urge in his being, the urge to be honest. The life of the Honor Principle rests upon each individual. If one student fails in upholding it, it is a failure to that extent. The Honor Principle is the basis of action at Carolina. Destroy it and the mere shell of a great university re mains. Abuse it and you give impetus to a great institution of crime and low life. Observe- it, support it, live it, and Carolina will still be an institution with high deals of service for mankind and for the State of South Carolina.
