The testimony which some of their
members gave in regard to hazing
seems to have convinced the body of
West Point cadets that it is an inde-
fensible practice, which they have VOL
unfairly pledged themselves to break
up. That the cruelty of some of the
performances has not occurred to
them before would seem strange if it
were not taken into account that the
custom has prevailed for years. Prece-
dents are not often scrutinized as to
their ethical bearings. But the action
of the classes should be accepted az
the end of bad custom.
