COLLEGE Enthusiastically, the
first Monday of the college year at
Harvard, goes among the collegians
by the name of "BlOody Monday" as
it is the day. on which the severest
hazing of the freshmen is prosecuted
by the sOphomores. The cruel and un-
manly. abuse of the unsophisticated
boys who have just become members
of the college, Is often carried to ex-
tremes which is a disgrace to the col
lege and to human nature, and there
is no line of argument i'm favor whic h
canpilliate, mnch less yindicate it. We
call to mind one instance OF hazing on
"Bloody Monday" which is admirably
and sweetly touching as such instances
are generally revolving and disgrace
ful. 1t occurred, if we remember cor
rectly, in 1862. 1t was noticed by two
sOphOmores that two country boys had
begun their housekeeping in a room
ON the ground floor of one of the col
lege halls, with miserable apology
for a bed, no carpet, no table, two
chairs, as the sum total of their outfit.
1t was learned also that they proposed
to board themselves, and had only a
few dollars for their board during the
term. On this they acted. On Bloody
Monday night the poor trembling
youths were summoned by "soph,n
who was not over courteous, to go to
a>Iocm up stairs. Up stairs they went,
pale and trembling, expecting to he
dealt with without mercy. They were
detained there an hour or so, not being
molested, but only quizzed by the cir
Gle of "sophs'' in the room. Then
they were dismissed to their
own room. When they entered
II, 1t was over nice new
carpet. There was tasteful bedstead
and appurtenances, study table,
chairs, o lamp, bookcase, a stove, ETC.,
aud in their closet they found provis-
ions for several days. This was haz-
ing to blessed purpose. We fear
that the, example stands almost or
quite alone. New Bedford Mercury.
