Honor Code
The student body adopted an honor code in 1906 which requires every student to write and sign his name to the following "Honor Pledge" whenever he submits a major assignment: This work is my own. I have neither given nor received any unauthorized help on this assignment.
The Senate, a group of students elected each year by the student body, administers the Honor Code with the assistance of a faculty adviser. The code does not require students to turn one another in, and a boy must generally be convicted of two honor violations before he is expelled.

Famous quotes containing the words honor and/or code:
“The most spiritual human beings, assuming they are the most courageous, also experience by far the most painful tragedies: but it is precisely for this reason that they honor life, because it brings against them its most formidable weapons.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Faultless honesty is a sine qua non of business life. Not alone the honesty according to the moral code and the Bible. When I speak of honesty I refer to the small, hidden, evasive meannesses of our natures. I speak of the honesty of ourselves to ourselves.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
