<p>I hope you do not mind my writing to ask your thoughts about the extent that the honor code is a “living aspect” in the students lives. My point is that while the manifestation of an honor code can be artificially maintainned by a minority, or sort of jammed into being during a “campaign” but not, (or perhaps it is…that’s why this is a question) followed in spirit. This being reality I am sure that some people pay no attention to it whatsoever. Others probably do not get overly involved in its drafting, but do care to live in a place that does care about its honor code. The range, or percentiles who live along the continium of caring to out right defiance of the code interests me greatly. I am aware that reactions such as “why have a code?” can be the result of either “why are you bothering me?” or they could be the result of great exasperation (failed idealism?)
What is your guess?</p>
