On March 17, 1896, Williams students voted 247 to 42 in favor of inaugurating a campus-wide Honor Code. While it has evolved over time, this Honor Code remains, to this day, a critical component of our academic community. The Honor Code is only ratified by Williams students, and as such, only student members of the Honor and Discipline Committee can vote on cases.
