Students award sparks copy row from Newark article
Observation Tower leaders gave a $5000 prize to a boy for an essay on How to Keep America Out of War, later found largely copied from Dr. Frank L. Kingdon of Newark. The boys did not know copying was wrong and professors did not detect it, arguing he should be excused. The piece also touches Roosevelt's plan to bar under 18 and over 65 from certain work and other local notes.
