...individual work that in many of the honors courses counting for two and three hours, the instructor will meet the students but once or twice a week. It would, however, be a serious mistake to infer from this that the honors courses, with their small number of required classroom hours, demand less from the student than the regular courses. The very opposite is the case. The nature of the work will make greater demands upon the student's industry and ability, for to a certain extent he will be his own taskmaster.

Many men, who would consider it beneath their dignity and their honor to ask help from a neighbor in the classroom, are not above copying a report or a mathematics paper. Both these actions are equally forms of intellectual robbery, for, in both, the offenders are passing off as their own something that is not their own. The only difference between the two is that the unfairness of cheating in examinations...
