The Adventure of the Three Students, one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
Synopsis
The story is set in 'one of our great University towns' which must refer either to Oxford or Cambridge. Holmes is engaged by Hilton Soames, tutor of St Luke's College, to find which of three students had managed to copy an Ancient Greek passage from an exam paper due to be sat imminently. The only man with access was Soames' servant Bannister, who had temporarily left the key in the door but was of unimpeachable integrity and stood to gain nothing. Through the clues of a broken pencil and some doughy clay, Holmes is able to deduce the identity of the perpetrator.
