To place the burden of the administration of fair exams on the students taking such exams is an infringement upon their pursuit of an education unmolested by distracting parallel duties as classroom monitors and honor offense reporters. When students graduate, they will compete in a world that will not assume that they are uniquely honorable on account of having "worn the honors of Honor." A temporary suspension of such realities may be of benefit to the merchandising efforts of University Guides in promoting a place unbounded by the realities of human nature to the parents of prospective students, but it is a disservice to such students during their tenure at the university. Of the four in-class examinations I took in the second semester of my first year at the University of Virginia, I witnessed 'dishonorable' activity in half.
