As@eAAay a1f1sS "tl'1tleu why LneFe f2as no
been any hazing at Harvard for the pas
three months. In all that time there hal
not been case Of hazing reported. an(
some have come to the conclusion that thf
hazers have met with change Of heart
At is not exactly a change Of heart, but 5
change Of clothes that ails them. We are
informed that the hazing has been effectr1.
ally broken up. just after Sullivan whip.
ped Ryan he was called to Harvard, and q
plan for breaking up haZing was unfolded
to him by the faculty, and he fell into II
readily. lie was to attire himself as q
Quaker young man, and apply for admis-
sion as freshman, and let nature take its
course. On the first day Of april Mr.. Sui
l1van appeared at the college under the
name Of Abba Watson, and was assigned
to room, and placed on the roll Of fresh
men. His appearance was commented on
and as he passed through the college
grounds with his peculiar garb, young fell
lows shouted, s'Shoot the hat" sect on to
his his nibs," and other COLLEGIATE litera-
ture. It was all Mr.. Sullivan could do to
5restrain 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
young man who pretended to be his friend.
and invited to accompany him to room
where el few boys We're going to open q
few bottles Of wine. .Abija said verify he
did not gomuch on the sinful beverage,
but to oblige his friend he went with him
to large room where seventy smart young
fellows were congregated, with all the ap-
5pliances for hazing. Sullivan says there
we're seventy, but the faculty only found
sixty-five smart Alecks when the door was
opened, but Sullivan thinks few NAV
have Jumped cut Of the window and took
TO the woods. It seems that when they
got the 'Quakern into the room they lock-
ed the door, and the ringleader told the
peaceful man to strip off his coat, vest and
shirt. He objected, but flnallys took them
Off
Some Of the fellows who have since cot
out OF the hospital say they noticed, when
he removed his shirt, that he was put IN
like a hired man, and they thought it queer
that Quaker should have an arm as big
as canyassed ham. They then told him
TO ''prepare to meet his God," and got out
5he irons to brand hi1n on the back. He
old them he knew he was in their power.
md was willing to submit to anything
hat was right, but he asked IS 3 favor not
o bear On too hard, as he was of d nervous
emperament, and might faint. Then tney +,
|eelded not to brand him until later. but !
youid throw him up III the blanket first.
% they got the blanket and tipped Sulli-
an over into it, and about twenty Of The !
martest hazers took hold Of the sides and !,
ossed him up. When he came down he
nocked four fellows senseless with his
SITS, kicked four more across the room +
nd then got ON his feet and began to II
mock them right and lett. He had knock n
down about twenty, and had stopped to Il
PIT on his hands, when the rest of the =
azers huddledinto corner and proposed - -
put an end to the slaughter. One said q,
Q good Mr.. Quaker, please 1e: US alone. T
1e belong TO respectable families, and II
ont do SO any more.' Sullivan looked
them, and said: <SIt is hazing yez want.
lell, yez can have plinty;" and he went
them, and in about fifteen minutes he
'rded up the whole gang, and hazing was "
oxen up in Harvard College AS he II

IN the hall, he said: Throw water III ar
