It is: “As a Wellesley College student, I will act with honesty, integrity, and respect. In making this commitment, I am accountable to the community and dedicate myself to a life of honor.” Every student signs her name to it in our ancient Honor Code book. Students administer justice if the code is broken. It’s real.
