Students must uphold honor code

To the editor:

I write in response to your 32 Robinson column "Fit to speak?" (The Dartmouth, August 20) regarding allegations of cheating in English 68, an enormous course held in Spaulding Auditorium with some 500 students.

Several students complained to me about cheating on the midterm. No student who complained was willing to name names.

If I had had a credible case against a cheater, I certainly would have recommended the case to the COS.

I must remind you that the Dartmouth Honor Code -- surely a fiasco -- applies to students first and foremost. It requires them to report violations. None did. Sic transit gloria.
