...outside help in the examination room. This writer, however, is one of the most extreme, and does not receive general support. Allowing, however, for all exaggerations, it must be confessed that this questionable practice is prevalent to a far greater extent than many realize. As anything to be dishonest must arise from some dishonest motive, it is hardly fair to charge every student with dishonesty who finds himself guilty of cribbing. Probably but very few of the cribbing class hope thereby to obtain an unfair advantage over their classmates. College honor would surely condemn a man who cribs...

There is another process which aims at the same result as cramming. It strives to overcome the same ends, but adopts different means. Both seek to prepare men for the examinations: but cramming is at least half honest. "Cribbing," as the other process is styled, is almost utterly dishonest. It is simyly an attempt to carry into examination material with which the questions of the examiners may be answered without any regard to the student's knowledge of the subject.

...employed about the Gymnasium. we feel that we are justified in asking the authorities to investigate the matter in the most thorough and systematic manner. Moreover, if any student can cast any light whatever on the case, he ought to communicate at once with the proper persons, that the dishonest parties may be discovered as speedily as possible. This offence is one which should be sifted to the very bottom, and the offender deserves prompt punishment if detected...

...purchases for them on their own tickets. We regret that it should be necessary for us to take notice of such deeds, but the fact that they take place calls for condemnation. It is, or ought to be, manifest that such behavior on the part of members, if not dishonest, at least comes pretty close to it, especially since it is clearly understood that the benefits of the society are only intended for its members. It seems to us that every one in the college ought to be willing to support the society by becoming a member, but even...
