By the recent discussions among the members of the Conference Committee it has been made very evident that the question of penalties for cribbing is to be pretty thoroughly aired, if not in some way decided. The necessity of taking stringent measures against cribbing is being felt in almost every college in the country, and probably it has been emphasized nowhere, so much as here. Among the many plans proposed for the treatment of offenders we think the most feasible is trial by a jury made up of students from the college. We think that the adoption of such a plan would be effective in checking, as well as in properly punishing, the offence of cribbing; but this plan has not yet been demonstrated as invincible. There are arguments, worthy of consideration, that may be urged against it. Our correspondent of a few days ago urged a general discussion in the CRIMSON, of this important question. We do not ask every man in college to comply with this suggestion, but we shall be glad to publish representative opinions of all the positions that may be taken. Thoughtful men in college may well give some of their time and attention to this important matter. By so doing they will help those who are now so diligently seeking a solution, and indirectly will aid in improving the sense of honor among college men and in raising the value of a college degree.
