In the early years, most University of Virginia students came from plantations of the middle Atlantic and Southern states. Independent and often cocksure, these students lived a rowdy life, bound to provoke disciplinary action. The University's Board of Visitors, in those first months led by Thomas Jefferson himself, began articulating laws limiting student behavior—an action Jefferson regretted, revering instead the ideal of student self-government. On the night of November 12, 1840, a masked student shot and killed John A. G. Davis, beloved professor of law. Sobered students agreed to a plan whereby students "vouched" for one another, agreeing to report misbehavior. In the same spirit, University faculty established an "honor pledge" on examinations, agreeing to trust students when they pledged that they had "neither received nor given assistance" on their schoolwork. Over the years students at the University of Virginia stepped up to the ideals held by Jefferson. According to the rules of the nation's oldest student-run Honor System, students must pledge not to lie, cheat, or steal, and must agree to report anyone doing so to a court of their peers. Today that same Honor System is alive and well at the University of Virginia, frequently coming under scrutiny by both student leaders and the full student body, always affirmed in its reliability and importance through results of student referenda. |
