Cheating

Cheating

Sir—Cheating is not irrelevant to academic ability (i.e. the abiltiy to gain the type of qualifications a University offers). If a scientist, for example cannot trust the results reported by others, he must repeal all their work if he wishes to make any use of it. Would research not then be intolerably difficult, slow and expensive.' Should a University, then, not test whether prospective scientists can remain honest when templed not to? And should it not lest prospective lawyers. accountants and teachers in the same way? Have you. Sir, any use for a dishonest reporter? Yours faithfully,

J. F. Harper.
