Consequently , there is a greater expectation of Seniors than of Juniors and a greater expectation of Juniors than of Freshmen . As such , disciplinary standards in the Conduct Code have been developed to reflect the greater emphasis on positive leadership and responsibility as the student progresses through his education at Williamson .

Because admission to Williamson is a privilege , it is assumed that the college ’ s regulations will be followed diligently .
