...second remedy a reduction in the needless expenses. There is absolutely not reason why a man who makes a team should consider it his prerogative to be fed, nursed, clothed and amused at the expense of the Athletic Association. Yet such is the case.

Few will, I think, agree with him. In my opinion, at any rate, cheating in examinations is so rare as to be almost negligible. Nor ought there to be a sense of humiliation because of the presence of a proctor; he is there to protect the honest against the unfair competition of the possibly dishonest.
