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:
“You are wonderful. I love and honor you.... [ellipsis in source] Lead your own life, attend to your charities, cultivate yourself, travel when you wish, bring up the children, run your house. I’ll give you all the freedom you wish and all the money I can but—leave me my business and politics.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“Wise Draco comes, deep in the midnight roll
Of black artillery; he comes, though late;
In code corroborating Calvin’s creed
And cynic tyrannies of honest kings;
He comes, nor parlies; and the Town, redeemed,
Gives thanks devout; nor, being thankful, heeds
The grimy slur on the Republic’s faith implied,
Which holds that Man is naturally good,
And—more—is Nature’s Roman, never to be
scourged.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
