Many have wondered why there has not
been any haziug at Harvard for the past
three months. We are informed that hazing
has been broken up in that college, and for
ever, by this means; Just after Sullivau
whipped Ryan he was called to Harvard,
and the faculty explained plan to him, and
he fell into IL readily. He was to attire him
self MS Quaker young man, and apply for
admission as n freshman, and let nature take
its course. On the first day of April MIR.
Sullivan appeared at the college, under the
| name of Abba Watson and was assigned to
n room, and placed on the roll of freshmen.
| Ills appearance was commented OH, and as
he passed through the college grounds with
his peculiar garb, young fellows shouted
shoot the hat" get on to his nibs," and
other collegiate literature. II was all Mr..
Sullivan could do to restrain himself from
| whipping couple of dozen of the boys then
and there, but he decided TO wait until the
proper time, when he would be able to get
enough for mess. That evening he
was approached by a young man who pre-
tended to be his friend, and invited to ac-
company him to q room where some boys
were going to open few bottles of
wine. SO they wont to largo room where
| about seventy smart young fellows were CON
gregatcd, with all of the appliances for haz-
| Ing. SULLIVAN says JUeTb WeTc sCNenNy, UuJ
| the faculty only found sixty.hve senseless
| smart Alecl<s when the door was opened, but
| Sullivan thinks few may have Jumped out
of the window, and taken TO the woods. 1t
seems that when they got the Quaker "
into the room they locked the door, and the
rngleader told the peaceful man to strip oil
his coat, vest, and shirt. He objected, but
| finally took them Off. Some of the fellows
| who have since got out of the hospital say
| they noticed, when he removed his shirt,
that he was put mp like a hired man, and
they thought IL queer that Quaker should
have an arm as big as 4 canvas ham. They
then told him to prepare to meet his God
and got out the iron TO brand him on the
back. He told them that he knew he was in
| their power, and was willing to submit to
anything that was right, but he asked them
as u favor not to bear Oh too hard, rs
he was of nervous temperament, and
might faint. Then they decided not To
brand him until later, but throw him up in n
blanket first. So they got the blanket, and
tipped Sullivan over in it, and about twenty
of the smarteBt hazcrs took hold of the sides
and tossed him up. When ho came down Ii,
| knocked four fellows scnselpss with his fists
kicked four more across the room, and then
got on his feet, and began to knock then
right and left. lie knocked down about
twenty, stopped to spit on his hands, and
said: " Is it hazing yez want2 Well, yez car
have plinty," and he went at them, and il
about fifteen minutes he corded up the Who'll,
gang, and hazing was broken up in Harvard
College. As he threw his coat and shir
across his arm, and walked out of the room
and met the faculty in the hall, he said
"Trow wather in their faces, and they'll h,
all right in fromtin minutes to half an hour,
and he shook hands with the faculty, re
ceived his five hundred dollars, and left TO
