COLLEGE HAzING.-The process of "hazing,
of which the Faculty of Harvard College re-
recently punished by expulsion, is thus de-
scribed:
You send your boy of sixteen, seventeen,
or eighteen years to college He enters the
Freshman class. Away from home, among
strangers. perhaps a little homesick, he ap-
pears green" or "spoony." But he minds
his own business, and knuckes to his task
Not so with the impudent fellows of the class
above him. These Sophomores Immediately
conceive the idea of putting through" your
boy. They have various ways of doing this.
They take him of a cold night and put him
under pump, and, after he is well wet and
chilled, Jet him go home to his bed and a
sore throat; or, perhaps they will get him
into room, and there Try to 9smoke him out"
by burning tobacco in the stove and keeping
up continual putting of cigars and pi pes,
and when they find him becoming pale and
sick, leave him with laughter. Or if he is
nervous or sensitive boy, they will try to
frighten him out of his wits by compelling
him to go bRndfolded into darkened room
and then show him hideous things There
are various other ways of "hazing," such as
ducking in tub of cold water, getting the
povitiate drunk, etc
If the body has spirit enough to resist these
outrageous insults he is told that the result
of resistance will be discomfort and annoy
ance during his whole college life, and we
have kRowq instances where this was the
case.
You will be likely TO ask in what part of
the Joke" the laugh comes in? and your
hoy, of course, feels inclined to put the same
question, and SO do We They have carried
this thing so far in Harvard College, that in
one or two cases lives are endangered, and
the students were unable to do any study
during the Whole term The Faculty of the
college, therefore, made an example of eight
sophomores, who were caught "hazng" some
poor freshmen, and gave them leave of alb
sence for year, to learn at home less brutal
manners.
Served the skunks right, and their parents
too, for bringing such chaps into the world.
OMNIBUS REFoRMs.-One week from to-day
whoever rides in an omnibus will find the
driver demanding pay as he enters. This
change is for the better all around. The pas
senger wants the subject off his mind, and the
omnibus can make faster tune, because the
delay will generally be less in getting the
right change through the hole in the roof at
the beginning than at the end of the ride
Moreover, it saves the proprietors Of the lines
the fares of all those who, after a ride of
mile, will get out without paying, whenever
a horse falls down on his side and the drivers
attention is away from his passengers.
But there should be another reform to
make the omnibus the convenience that it
should be. 1t ought to be compelled to run
at least two hours later at night. The last
stages go northward past the principal lee
iure and concert halls before nine o'clock,
Consequently, just at the hour when they
would be of more service than at any other
throughout the day, they are missing.-S f.
