As potential officers and gentlemen, cadets are expected not to cheat. Those who fail to report a cribber are subject to the same stiff punishment (expulsion) as the cheater himself.* The cadet manual warns that "there will be no shading, no equivocation, no quibbling among honorable...

The professional cheater will buy a machine ($400 and up), take it home to his workshop for devoted scientific study. Disassembling it, he will examine each reel, spring and screw. How best to make his entry? What tool will do the job? What part of the mechanism should be jimmied with what tool? Then comes careful experimentation until at last he discovers the machine's weak spot...
