BAZING CASE SETTLED.

The trustees of the South Carolina
college held an extra meeting yester-
day afternoon to consider the recent
hazing case, the first to develop at
the college during the present year
The case proved, under investigs
ton, to have been very mild one,
though the young man who was hazed
has left college and returned to his
home, and the board, while approv-
ing the action of the faculty in send
ing the students home. in accordance
with she resolution adopted by itself,
did not take harsh measures 1t
reinstated the young men concerned
after April 10 The following state.
meut in regard to the matter was
gwen:
The matter was fully discussed and
considered and the board IN its action
wish it distinctly understood that it
disapproves of "hazirg" in all forms
and that the leDiency shows is IN
6uced by the previous good record
of the students involved in the incl
dent. the assurances that the college
apirit and the etudens body is opposed
to ''hazing' and the mildness of the
particular case which brought the
matter up Some OF the students
seems TO take IL that blacking
student With shoe polish was not
.ehazing," but.ra,her in the nature Of
g joke. The trustees regard this .
matter for the faculty to decide as to
what is to be regarded as hszing and
what is not, but that any such action
is not agreeable and unwarraBsed
The board considered all of the
papers in connection with the matter
and a sub committee of the board had
q satisfactory interview with Messrs.
Fowles. McGhee, Blackwell and Ruff
who represented the student body as
q committee to plead for the rein
stating Of the young men This
committee assured the trustees that
the student body was opposed to
'hazing'' and that they and the
students would cooperate with the
faculty in every possible way in keep
ing good order aud maintaining the
good name end reputation Of the
college They assured the board
that the student body stood for good
order and would not sanction "hsz
iog."
The trustees, in view of all the
facts and conditions, adopted the
following resolution
Resolved. That the action Of the
faculty be sustained in the suspeu
sion of the students that they be
allowed to return to college and be
honorably reipstated in their classes
on aud after April 10th, 1901, but on
the condition that they shall pledge
themselves to abstain from such &C.
ton in the future.
The action of the board is to be
communicated by the secretary OF
the board to each of the seven par
epts and the young men are, upon
their return to college, TO make the
verbal p,omise to the faculty, through
the president as above indicated.
This action of the board is thought
to be entirely satisfactory to the
faculty, student body, the young men
Interested and in the best interests
of the South Carolina college.
