STEALING MARKS

I note on page 1536 of the September number of the JOURNAL OF CHEMI- CAL EDUCATION a clipping from the Ifigh-School Teacher quoting the Kadelphian Review as authority for the statement that Washington & Lee has abandoned the "honor system."

I want to assure yon that the statement is absolutely false and that there has never been a thought of abandoning it. conside;ing that our students come from prep schools throughout the country, it is not re- markable that there are occasional cases to be dealt with by the Student Executive Committee, but most of the freshmen take to it like ducks to water. I think its working is about 99.44% pure!

The mere intimation that it has been abandoned here is so serious that I hope you can see your way clear to correct the statement in an early issue of the JOURNAL.

Yours very cordially,
