Harvard is not aware that a representative of a new organization formed to raise college cribbing to the position of a major industry has visited Cambridge in an effort to obtain perjured testimonials for the organization to be used in drumming up business in mid-Western colleges and universities. It was declared today by Robert K. Lamb, Secretary to the University for Information.
The Princeton Alumni Weekly, in its current issue, reports that the organization proposes to supply undergraduates with a four-year set of essays for $100 cash and says that a representative of the organization has visited the Princeton campus as well as Yale and Harvard.
Prominent undergraduates at Harvard when questioned declared they had not heard of the attempt to get the testimonials. Secretary Lamb said that he had received a letter from the Princeton publication some days ago informing him of the existence of the organization and requesting him to discover if possible if Harvard students had been approached. He was unable to find anyone who had heard of the organization. H. R. R. --The Boston Evening Transcript, April 21, 1932.
