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:
“This monument, so imposing and tasteful, fittingly typifies the grand and symmetrical character of him in whose honor it has been builded. His was “the arduous greatness of things done.” No friendly hands constructed and placed for his ambition a ladder upon which he might climb. His own brave hands framed and nailed the cleats upon which he climbed to the heights of public usefulness and fame.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“...I had grown up in a world that was dominated by immature age. Not by vigorous immaturity, but by immaturity that was old and tired and prudent, that loved ritual and rubric, and was utterly wanting in curiosity about the new and the strange. Its era has passed away, and the world it made has crumbled around us. Its finest creation, a code of manners, has been ridiculed and discarded.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
