     Sure he had his PhD, but he 
     
     realized that this was only 
     
     the theoretical concept of 
     
     his chosen field. This pro- 
     
     fessor told us that his un- 
     
     derstanding was continually 
     
     broadening through research

     P.S. The methods of a few 
     
     professors are different. 
     
     They have a greater consid- 
     
     eration for the individual 
     
     fiho really has a desire to

     Dear Mutt and Jeff MacDonald; 
     
     I am writing this letter 
     
     in response to your article 
     
     in the last edition of the 
     
     Cadre. Is it not ironic 
     
     that you should be the 
     
     sick one and not myself. 
     
     For you to twist and dist— 
     
     ort the whole incident in 
     
     the way you did: shows hOW' 
     
    
   
   
    
           
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     much your minds.must be 
     
     warped. J ” N 
     
    

    
     _ For even the Cadre to 
     
     think of printing such aK 
     
     distorted article reflects 
     
     how ill the Cadre staff 
     
     must be. In the future I 
     
     would recommend that you 
     
     report the "facts" and not 
     
     the fantasy of a sick mind.

     Dear Sir; 
     
     Colleen warren's letter 
     
    
   
   
    
     (Cadre, Feb.25) about term" 
     
     papers and essays withheld 
     
     by professors rather than 
     
     returned to students points 
     
     to a dilemma that has con— 
     
     cerned me for years. 
     
     Obviously these papers 
     
     ought to be returned, be- 
     
     cause an important part 
     
     of the educational value 
     
     of doing them is obtaining 
     
     the teacher's comments and 
     
     corrections as feedback.

     that matter, do McGill and

     In one course I gave re— 
     
     cently, about 25% of the 
     
     term papers appeared to be 
     
    
   
   
    
     plagiarized. Much of my time . 
     
    
   
   
    
     was spent not-—as it should 
     
     have been ——in reviewing 
     
     the honest work of serious 
     
     students, but in trying to 
     
     detect cases of plagiarism 
     
     by freeloaders out for an 
     
     easy grade._ 
     
    

    
     In two or three of these 
     
     cases, I was morally cer- 
     
     tain though I could not 
     
     prove——that one of the 
     
     "research services" that 
     
     advertises in the press had 
     
     furnished the "term papers" 
     
    

    
     There are, of course, 
     
     various tactics professors 
     
     can utiliaeito fight plagr. 
     
     iarism. One is to employ 
     
     oral interviews for evalua- 
     
     tion instead of written 
     
     papers. I have found this 
     
     quite an effective tech- 
     
     nique. Another is to ask 
     
     students to type duplicate’“

     Miss Warren's suggestion 
     
     that profeséors may plag— 
     
     ‘iarize students' written 
     
     work is not without found- 
     
     ation. I certainly happens 
     
     at some graduate: schools, 
     
     usually with the plagiar— 
     
     ized student's knowledge 
     
     and more or less cheerful 
     
     acquiescence. Some very 
     
     eminent scholars in a num— 
     
     ber of academic disciplines 
     
     have published books, sev~ 
     
     eral chapters of which were 
     
    
   
   
    
     foriginally graduate stu-

     much, if any, of this a UP- 
     
     EI, for the simple reason 
     
     that few undergraduate pap— 
     
     ers are of the quality a 
     
     professor could use in a 
     
     published book or article. 
     
     When professors plagarize 
     
     for lectures-~as unfortun- 
     
     ately they sometimes do—- 
     
     they usually resort to a 
     
     textbook other than the 
     
     one assigned to their 
     
     students.
