Integrity is an important theme throughout the book as Scott watches the changing behavior of his professors and peers and struggles to hold on to his own code of ethics. Scott's fascination with the law turns into harsh reality when exposed to some of the questionable tactics and precedents presented. Scott is also bothered by the importance of nearly perfect exam grades as the measure of a person's worth as opposed to the overall value a student may offer in terms of ethics and life experiences.
