EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - The agitation in college circles of the question of cribbing in examinations and theme work, is indicative of an earnest desire on the part of many students to rid college life of all underhanded methods to render impossible the slurs cast upon us by outsiders, and to place the college student in his true position that of a conscientious seeker after an education that has meaning in it. This agitation does not indicate as some public papers have inferred, that cribbing is present to an alarming degree at Harvard. If true comparisons could be made, there...

...recently a communication censuring the instructor in sophomore theme work because the practice of allowing the themes to be corrected by members of the class had not been continued after its initial trial. The writer demanded the reason of the discontinuance of a plan which he claimed enabled the students "to improve his style beyond recognition." It is only just to say that we have been informed by the instructor in question why the practice was discontinued, and that the reasons are perfectly satisfactory both from the standpoint of convenience upon which our correspondent laid great stress, and also from...
