EXECUTIVE  COMMITTEEHONOR next hit CASE AND HOUCHINS MATTER

The Rector reported that the Executive Committee had met during the summer to hear an appeal
by a student who had been dismissed by the previous hit Honor Committee . This unfortunate matter had been
settled without interferring in any way with the principle of student control of the honor system,
and a record of the hearing had been placed in the files of the Board.

The Rector reported that he had received further correspondence from Mr. Fred C. Abbott,
attorney for William Houchins, but he did not feel that the Board needed to give further consideration
to the matter.
