The first in a series of comics for the Reed College Quest highlighting the challenges of living in a community governed by the Honor Principle. The Honor Principle (or, as it is often affectionately called, the “HP”) grounds itself in the idea that community members should take thoughtful responsibility for their own actions, always considering their impact on those around them. Of course, with something so nebulous there are always grey areas for free interpretation about what is and is not considered “honorable”. We’ve designed this series to spark discussion about what the HP means to Reedies of all stripes, hopefully resulting in a campus-wide conversation about how we can more effectively incorporate honor into our daily lives. Reedie readers (especially current students), I’m particularly interested to hear your thoughts on this one.
