COLLEGE NOW RUN ENTIRELY BY ITS HONOR Governrnent Regulations and Its Policies l Hands of the Student Body FlfflCTIONS EFFECTIVELY eHonor System, traditionial in the sity of South Carolina, is the ap pWation of the honor Winciple to the cWditions of college life. As a result of ti idea, the government of the campus s passed largely into the hands of the dents. .j At the annual meeting of the trustees 4 December, 11304, a set of by-laws was Idopted. 'llhe principle on which the iscipline of the new institution was founded is stated thus: "The rewards and punishments of this institution shall be all addressed to the sense of duty and the.principles of honor and shame." Dr. Jonathan Maxcy, then president of the college, was influential in, preppring the sections relating to discipline. The principle of honor that was the guiding principle in the home and in the affairs life was introduced into the life of the campus. The Students' Handbook for 1913 says that the honor system simply that "every man is accounted a gentleman until he proves himself not to be one, and every man's word is accepted as true, unless there is clear evidence that -it cannot' be so taken." In 1909, it was decided that the honor committee should consist of one student from efch academic class and one from each law class. The representatives were to have equal powers and one vote each. The chairman of the committee was to be the rdgresentative of the senior academic class. It is the duty of the committee, as well as of each student, to inquire into all the improprieties of conduct in the classroom and to report them. The committee hears testimony and finds the accused guilty or not guil ty. 'lThe accused is allowed to testify, select two students as his attorneys, and to appeal to the student body. , Tn the latter case, all the evidence is presented to the student body. A two-thirda ma jority of the total number of students present is requ;red for a reversal of the committee's decision. CLO' Andicut ESTABLISHED EN STYLES.
