The students had only been writing for a short bums when it became evident that wholesale copying was going on. Four or five candidates, who were caught in the act, were ordered from the rooms and their examinations cancelled. This was not all, for soon afterwards others were found with notes up their sleeves ready to drop on their desks when a convenient time should arrive. There were evideneee of thorough organization on the part of those writing, and the clan. didates were warned that everyone found copying would have his examination cancelled.
