Book Description
Excerpt from Addresses on the Honor System at the University of Virginia It is indeed a difficult task to show in a limited space of time how an abstract principle, such as honor, becomes an organic and concrete fact in the life of the University of Virginia. I think it will conduce to clearness if, at the very outset, we put ourselves on guard lest we confound the mere mechanical and administrative part of the system with the underlying sentiment which is its raison d'etre. The details of the administrative phase are not the be-all and end-all of the honor system, but only serve to regulate a system whose foundations are laid in something deeper than mere conventional ruling. Many other institutions have patents on other machinery, but the difference is unessential, for all must utilize the same force of human nature and be impelled by the same dynamic power. With this in mind, my task will be to show how student honor is eminently successful for, and vitally necessary to, the welfare of our University. The honor system, as it now exists at Virginia, is but the natural outgrowth and living embodiment of certain passages in Thomas Jefferson's ideal of academic discipline, which he expresses in the following words: "That best mode of government for youth in large collections is certainly a desideratum not yet attained by us. It may be well questioned whether fear, after a certain age, is a motive to which we should have ordinary recourse. The human character is susceptible of other incitements to correct conduct more worthy of employ and of better effect. Pride of character, laudable ambition, and moral disposition are innate correctives of the indiscretions of that lively age, and when strengthened by habitual appeal and exercise, have a happier effect on future character than the degrading motive of fear. Hardening them to disgrace, to corporal punishment and servile regulations cannot be the best process for producting erect character.
