The Barnard honor system marks two score years of student and faculty acceptance. The article explains its scope limited to academic affairs, contrasts it with personal codes, and urges students to reflect on their pledge to uphold the system and report offenders for the good of the community.
Geraldine Kirshenbaum explains Barnard freshman and transfer students fall under the Honor Code upon entry. The system relies on student responsibility in exams and life, with an Honor Board handling academic offenses. Two faculty reps sit on the board, but only student majority decides penalties.

Robertson argues for limited use to exams and stresses student responsibility, while Clara Eliot recalls Reed College’s success and emphasizes intellectual honesty and good manners as core.
A National Students Association survey shows private and women’s colleges widely embrace an honor system with student and faculty cooperation, strong reporting duties, and varying methods.
