Robbing A Bank Is Simpler Than Stealing An Exam

Stealing money from Brink's is a lot easier than stealing exams from the University Press, so you might as well go back to studying or planning your next holdup.

The precautions taken by the University are so secret that officials at the Press won't even say what they are. They guarantee that sneak previews are impossible to obtain.

Professors and instructors must turn in examination copy at least ten days before the exam date. Professional proofreaders check all non-technical exams, and science and foreign language quizzes are returned to the men who drew them up for scrutiny.

Profs Read Proof

In non-technical subjects, professors have the option of correcting their own examinations. About 70 to 80 per cent take up the option. After that, it's all up to the student.

The University Press estimates that it prints 45,000 separate copies of exams. Printing costs are borne by whatever faculty is sponsoring the test. The Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Law School account for most of the Press's examination business.

On second thought, you might try marrying one of the proofreaders--or Miss Brink.
