of the SchOol-DecIares That He
Proposes to Stick In Spite
of Opposition.

BALTIMORE, Feb. -20.-The students CT
the University of Maryland Medical
school are determined to maintain the
institution of hazing. Henry f. Schur-
man, a freshman, is equally determined
rot to submit to hazing, and Justice
Poe, a descendant of the poet, is MAX
ing the hazers pay for their fun as
dearly as possible. The authorities of
the University of Maryland are standing
off, taking no part in the controversy.
The university is one of the oldest
medical colleges in the country, but it
exercises no supervision over the stu
dents, most of whom are grown-up men.
They are required only to attend the lee
lures and clinics and to pass their eX
aminations
Mr.. Schurman has a wife and two chill
dren. The second class men cons4~er,
however, that, despite his years, Schur-
man, as a freshman, must remove his
mustache This he refused to do, and
gave a drubbing to several who tried
to use force. SaturGSS, however, while
in the dissecting room, Schurman was set
upon by a gang and held while his priced
mustache was cut off.
POLICE TAKE A HAND.
He reported the matter to Dean Cook
of the university and finding no relief
there went to the police station. He
showed the blood-red marks upon his
throat, and secured a warrant for Guy
p. Asper, the principal offender. Justice
Poe levied fine of $25
The student body of the university,
from the seniors to the freshmen, de-
nCunced Schurman for taking the matter
to the police court as a breach of college
ethics, and cut him dead. The freshmen
class expelled him. Schurman said he at
tended the medical school to get a diplo-
ma, and was not worrying about the rest
of the class.
AS Schurman entered the college build
ing yesterday, he was rushed and hustled
and jostled about until his ideas were
thoroughly confused Schurman was
again attacked as he left the building,
and again applied to Justice Poe. L. FL.
Gurley, vice president of the freshmen
class, and E. NJ. Edmondson, of the
baltimore College of Dental Surgery,
who came up to get into the game, were
arrested, and after stressful trial each
was fined SO and costs.
STUDENTS PARADE.
Several hundreds of the students par
AIDED to 662 West Fayette street, where
Schurman lives with his wife. With
loud cries of I'VE want Goo-goo. Come
Goo-goo'' they surged up to the front
door. to be pushed back by a squad of
police Cooper brewery refused to give
way, and was arrested.
The students last night burned Justice
Poe in effigy. The Judge referred to the
matter while trying Drewey this morn
ing, and made another speech to the
body of students who packed his court
room. Then he made Drewey pay $6,40
for his fun.
Schurman says:
will stick it out at the university,
and intend to graduate, no matter what
action is taken by the class. Were / a
young man l would not have said
word about the matter, but would con-
s:der It q huge joke. They should
confine their pranks to men of their own
age
resolutions were passed maintaining haz-
ing as a collegiate institution, and de-
claring their intention of driving Schur-
man from the school.
