Hazing of Young Ingersoll.


John c. Ingersoll, nephew OF Col.
Bob, sends to an Ithaca paper this ac-
count OF his hazing experiences at Cor
nell University: On Saturday night he
encountered a number of students, who
affected mysterious airs. and although
he was warned not to, he joined them.
One OF the group spoke in disguised
voice and said "Ingersoll, 90 home.
This was repeated in Sons OF Malta style
by others. 1t afterward appeared that
these fellows had been at Ingersoll' s
room, and had "mixed things up" and
that their frolic contemplated nothing
further than this disarrangement OF his
room. Ingersoll declared he would not
go home, and, to have hand in the fun,
put the party through the squad drill.
He was then informed that, as he had
shown so much grit in facing the crowd,
they would like to make him member
of the society. He consented, stipulat-
ing that he should not be subjected Ia
anything unnecessarily disagreeabe.
He was blindiolded, his hands were tied,
and he was led into Il garden, where the
ceremony was performed. He was in
formed that no man could be received
into the brotherhood who had hair on
his face, and was asked, with tremendous
solcmnity, Are YOU willing TO let us
shave YOU.
lngcrsoll had heavy, black mustache,
and he heSitated. After few minutes
he said: "Well, by George, boys, I'd as
soon lose $40, but 90 ahead"
His muStache was cut offand his face
was annointcd width what the otiicat-
ing parties termed holy oil, but which
the victim knew was paint. He had
gone too far to back out, and resolved To
make the best of the awkward predica-
mcnt, asking his tOrmenters to do the
square thing. He was placed on his
back OIL a stone wall, and commanded to
lie three minutes amid the profound
silence which the brotherhood would
preserve. After waiting for some time,
lngcrSoll managed to free his hSnds, re-
moved the bandagc from over his eyes,
and discovered that ne was alone. The
place was strange. and being a stranger
in town, he lost his way, and had serious
trouble III finding his lodgings. But,
notwithstanding this and the loss OF his
mustache, the injury to his clothing, and
the annoyance and humiliation incident
to being sold, lngcrSOll looked upon the
affair as joke, and made public eXpla-
nation to free the accused parties OF the
charge of prosecution.

And SpnInglc the path OF our Heroine
Far from the home whose sacred hearth,
Ponder than all things here on earth.
She yearns for the loved ones lar apart

List It's duty'S voice, speaks grave.
Give me the heart that's Staunch and brave.
Now thence DER hills, through wales untold
She reaches the goal, how weary and cold
Since the long months have sped.
And blessings rich, rest on her head
She works for those, Ia Christ 50 dear.
Peace, be still. Her Lord doth cheer.
