Heck, I didn't even know cheating was still needed, given grade inflation at most colleges. The fact is, cheating stems from the administration's need to quantify school performance with grades. There is no longer anything approaching a "Gentleman's C." If you don't graduate in the top 10 percent of your class, then you don't get a decent job.

I went to a small college where we were sworn to an Honor Code. We could take tests home and it was simply understood we would not cheat. If you did, you were "Sent Down." Women left their purses unattended in the library all day long and I can't remember a single theft happening there.
