The CoyardIce of College Hazing.

"Hazinp" has been done away with pretty

lowed 10 live in peace. 10 wear such mats as theY
see it and to carry canes when It pleases them to
do So There never was anything more absurd
than the petty tyranny OF "hszlng, and II Is
pleasant to see that the "sophs" are becoming
wise enough to see il in that light. Lewiston
journal.
All honor to the faculty at Amherst, for having
accomplished such a commendable work Is theri
any reason why this relic of barbara SIN cannot be
driven from the colleges of Maine Why should
young men on entering the Freshmen class, be
subject to indignites that would put to shame the
inmates of a brothel why be treated as dogs,
to come and go at the beck and call of students
but one year in advance of them : Are the young
men at Bowdoin and Colby less re fined than those
of Amherst Can they not be held in check by col
lcge laws and regulations in the one as well as
the other We believe they can. We are conf
dent that the majority of the students in all our
colleges are avcrse TO the practice of hazing and
only suffer it to 60 on because it has been the
custom through all the past history of these insti-
buttons, or because they were subjected to it, and
think it will heal their wounds to infict the same
upon others. If this custom could be changed
fa single class could pass the Freshmen year "un.
hazed," these dsgraceiul practices would no long
er be tolerated among college students.
But we may be asked-is haz ing permitted in
Maine colleges In reply, we would say that the
college regulations forbid anything of the kind;
and any student who engages in it, is liable TO
suspension or expulsion. And yet Freshmen are
"hazed." The Portland Press in speaking of
Colby University, says: "QUite a large number
of the Freshmen have been wet this term.
Some ofthem swear vengeance against the Sophs."
At Bowdoin, worse ndgnles than "wetting" have
been imposed upon the Freshmen. if we are
reliably informed. Common decency would seem
to demand that young men should not be COM
PEELED to dance, half naked, upon tables, nor
climb over doors; and common courtesy would
forbid the smokiBg-out practice that so saturates
the room with vile tobacco smoke.
With all Difference to Sophomore's dignity, we
fail to see why a Freshman, any more than Jun
Tor, should be "wet," or be made to practice the
"shir-tail drill" or furnish tobacco and cigars to
be smoked out with, or be compe lied to "put out
lights" or eight up" at the command Of every
Sophmore who chances to be on the campus" at
night. We hope for the honor Of Maine, and her
institutions of learning that the day is not far dis
tant when hazing will become so obnoxious to
college students as to be regarded by them a nui-
sance that must be expunged from college GUS
toms. Meanwhile let the lines of discipline be
so closely drawn that the college faculties will
cease to tolerate the violation of college rules.

The two principals were brevet-

simply this; Tillie Seymour and
Mary Crowley were the wives, in

two brothers named Gibbon, but
there being no family name, there
were no family ties and they werq

Tillie received a letter containing
two comic valentines, the backs Of
which were scribbled over with
language she conld not endure
without resentment, and believing
that Mary was the author of the
outrage, she caused her arrest.

Mary Crowley sent them valentines;
that she had never had any angry
