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

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."
