They believed not only that dishonesty
in getting a degree from this University
detracted from its value, but also that
every person should leave this institution
with a definite prejudice against dis-
honesty in any form. Steps were taken
to build up an organization which would
stand permanently for honesty in under-
graduate work. Since the Commission’s
institution, the student attitude toward
cheating has materially changed. To
realize the full purpose of the Commission
it must have the co-operation of every
student in the University.

Marshals and Aides

Nomination as a marshal or aide is the
highest appointive undergraduate honor
in the University. Selections are made by
the President of the University. College
students with at least eighteen majors
and not more than twenty-seven at the
end of the Winter quarter are eligible.
The list of eligibles is studied by the
Marshal of the University, the Deans,
and the Secretary to the President. The
elimination by these officers is on the
basis of scholarship, discipline, person-
ality.

The University Marshal may confer
with the college marshals and aides con-
cerning the selected list. Marshals and
aides may prepare statements of student
honors, etc., of candidates and express
opinions on the merits of some forty can-
didates. The Marshal of the University
and the Secretary to the President make
a final check of the recommendations of
the deans and marshals, and present the
list to the President of the University,
who personally selects ten marshals and
ten aides.
