COPS AND ROBBERS

Once again the educational underworld of Harvard Square has had a run-in with the law. Accused by the Macmillan Company of violating a court injunction against plagiarized tutoring notes, the College Tutoring Bureau now faces repetition of its 1933 debacle, when federal marshals raided its "classroom" and carried away two taxi-loads of notes to be burned at the Federal Building. In fact this week has seen a widening as well as a strengthening of the anti-cram-school front, for Princeton has just inaugurated a vigorous campaign to wipe out the racket.

If a court decision finds the College Tutoring Bureau again guilty of unethical practices, it will be a major tragedy for Messrs. Hurvitz and Segel, whose University Tutoring School has already been forced out of business. It will also remove from the market some of the worst printed notes ever foisted upon undergraduates--notes so bad that the students themselves perhaps have grounds for suit.
