Dean Cautions Yalies; 'Malady' of Cheating Must Stop-Or Else!

Finding that Yale students "seem to have adopted the easy moral standards of the society around them," but making no specific reference to any military members of the Ivy League, Dean William C. DeVane of Yale College issued a letter of warning against cheating to his vacationing undergraduates yesterday.

"I am sure that fierce punishments are not good correctives for this malady," the Dean wrote, "but I hold it my duty to warn the student that punishment up to and including dismissal will be meted out in those cases where the cheater is caught."

The Dean was also "compelled to interrupt your vacation and delay my own" in order to warn that Yale was preparing to clamp down sharply on class cutting next year. Juniors and seniors can no longer "manage their own attendance," but will be limited to twenty cuts each term.
