THAT DID NOT HAZE.

HAZlNG, THAT DID NOT HAZE.
The Milwaukee Sun tells the follow
ing. Many have wondered Why there
has not been any hazing at Harvard for
the past 8 months. In all that time
there has not been . case Of hazing re-
ported, and some have come to the
conclusion that the hazers have met
with change of heart. 1t is not ex.
actly change Of heart, buta change
Of clothes that ails them. We are in
formed that the hazIng has been effect
ually broken up. Just after Sullivan
whipped Ryan be was called to Har.
ward and . plan of breaking up haz-
ing WAS unfolded to him by the faculty
and he fell into it readily. He Was to
attire himself as . Quaker young man,
and apply for admission as freshman,
and let nature take its course. On the
lst day of April Mr.. Sullivan appear
ed q. the college under the name of Alb
ija Watson, and was assigned to room
and placed on the roll Of freshman.
His appearance WAS commented on,
and as be passed through the college
grounds with bis peculiar garb young
fellows shouted; "Shoot the hat" sect
on bis nibs." and other collegiate liter
.ture. 1t was all Mr.. Sullivan could
do to restrain himself from whipping
couple of dozen of the boys tb en- and
there, but be decided to wait until the
proper time until be would be able to
get enough for . mess. That evening
be was approached BY . young man
who pretended to be his friend, and in
vited to accompany him to . room
where few boys we're going to open q
few bottles of wine. AbJa said verify
be didn't 60 much on the sinful bever-
age, but to oblige his friend he won't
with him to . large room where 10
smart young fellows were congregated,
with all the appliances for haIing. Sui
livan says there were 20, but the fac
ulty only found IS smart Alecks when
the door Was opened, but Sullivan
thinks few may have jumped out Of
the window aud took to the woods. 1t
seems tha. when they got the "Qusker"
into the room they locked the door and
the rineleader told the peaceful man to
strip of his coat, vest and shirt. He
objected, but finally took them of.
Some of the fellows who have since
got out Of the hospital say they notic-
ed when be removed his shirt that he
vas put up like hired man, and they
thought It queer that q Quaker should
have an arm as big as canvased ham.
They then told to "prepare TO meet his
God," and got out the iron to brand
him on the back. He told them that be
knew be was in their power, and was
willing to submit to anything that was
right, but be asked as favor not to
bear on to hard, as be WAS of nervous
temperament, and might faint. They de-
cided then not to brand him until later,
but would throw him up in q blanket
first. So they got the blanket and tip
ped Sullivan over in it, ard about 20
Of the smartest hazers took hold of the
sides aud tossed him up. When be came
down be knocked 4 fellows senseless
with his fists, kicked more across the
room. and then got on his feet and be-
gan to knock them right and left He
had knocked down about 90, and had
stopped to spit on his hands, when the
rest Of the hazers huddled in a corner
and proposed to put an end to the
slaughter. One said; 30, good Mr..
Quaker, please let us alone. We belong
to respectable families. and won't dc
so any more" Sullivan looked at them
and SAID; It's bszing yez want. Well,
yez can have plinty;" and be went at
them. and in about Is minutes he cord
ed up the whole gang. and hazing was
broken up in Harvard College As be
threw his coat and shirt across his arm,
and walked out of the room and met
the faculty in the hall; he said; Throw
water in their faces ard they will re-
gain consciousness in from 10 minutes
to half an hour" and be shook hands
with the faculty, received his $500,
and left for New York with his trainer,
Billy Madden, who was sitting on the
fence outside waiting for him.
"Fot kind Of time did yez have with
the b'ys," asked Mr.. Madden. as he
helped Sullivan on with his shirt and
changed the Quaker hat for another.
"Verily, friend William" said Qua
ker Sullivan, as be counted the roll Of
bills to see that the faculty had not
showed any counterfeits on him "it
Was the evint of the season; it Is good
exercise" And they started for Cor
nell CIpivsrsity. at Ithaca.
