YALE NEWS DECLARES HALF OF UNDERGRADUATES CHEAT

New Haven, Conn., June 5--Declaring editorially that half of the Yale undergraduates are guilty of breaking college rules against cheating during the present examination period, the Yale Daily News nevertheless was inclined to blame the system of incessant daily tests rather than condemn the offenders' characters.

"It is no longer a factor in determining a man's status in a community, whether he is honest or not in this respect," the editorial remarked. But, it continued, "In view of the fact that daily tests and examinations are peculiar to college life, cheating under these circumstances becomes a local problem. It is not safe to assume that a man who cheats in them will inevitably fail in future trials of his honesty."
