Plagiarism is hardly sc great a crime
as the fabrication Of quotations a
practice which has caused many an
earnest student to waste hours In a
fruitless endeavor to trace the passage
cited. Among the guilty Samuel War

occasion he took part in a debate dur
ing which Roebuck boosted that he
was not a party man, w%hereupon War
rem rose and said that my learned
friends boast reminds me painfully
Of the words Of Cicero, He who be-
longs to no party Is presumably too vile
for any" At the conclusion Of the de-
bate Roebuck came over to compli-
ment his adversary on having made q
successful hit, adding, Il am fairly
we'll up in Cicero, but l have no idea
where l can find the passage you quot
ed" Neither have l." said Warren.
