There is now less than a month left before the end of College. Up to the present date only 472 Class Lives and 504 address cards have been received from a class registering at nearly 720. Plenty of time has been given to attend to this matter and only negligence on the part of the men can account for this large deficiency. If men who have not sent in their Class Lives or address cards wish to be considered members of 1911 after graduation and to have notices of reunions and all other matter of class interest sent to them...
Professor Bliss Perry's excellent speech on "The Honor System" at the CRIMSON dinner on Wednesday evening must have convinced those who were fortunate enough to have heard him that the honor system is a matter which must, in the immediate future, come before the undergraduate body for most serious consideration...

The degenerates who are willing to cheat under the present system would have to bow to the opinion of the men with whom they are working--in most cases they would be willing to do so if it occurred to them as a matter of honor--and the undergraduate classroom morality would be raised accordingly. Such a public opinion as would be raised against cheating in examinations by the introduction of the honor system would, we believe, extend at the same time to the matter of theses: It would not be a negative feeling against dishonesty...
