Sale of Printed Notes Continues Undiminished--Cut Rate Price of $1.00 by One Seller Is Drawing Market

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Has the printed note business, which has flourished for years with ever increasing growth on the physical as well as the educational outskirts of the University, begun to decline?

This is the rumor which has persistently been spreading through the yard at the very height of the mid-year period. It has arisen from still another rumor which claims that Professor W. B. Munro '01, who is in charge of Government J, bought printed notes before he made out the mid-year examination on that course, and took care to ask questions which were not fully dealt with in the notes. Moreover it is reported that other professors in the University are regularly following this same policy.

As far as could be ascertained yesterday, however, the undergraduates' faith in what Dean Greenough has called "intellectual bootlegging," remains supreme. Notes varying in price from $1.00 to $3.00 continue to have a large and flourishing sale at the various bootblacking, grocery, tailoring, and other shops scattered over the Square which make a regular business of selling undergraduates passing marks in courses at the University.

The almost continuous agitation which members of the faculty have carried on against the tutoring schools and other organizations which issue these "synthetic" reviews has so far apparently obtained no definite results, and even this new development has not yet affected the business.

In fact the competition between the various establishments has increased recently. One organization is offering cutprice notes at about half the price which has formerly been maintained in the square. For $1.00, they claim, you can now obtain a guaranteed passing mark in almost every subject offered at the University.
