New-Haven Corn, Oct. 10 (SpeciaD.-Hazing has
become uncommon among the undergraduates
Yale in the last few years that the sporadic re-
currcnce of of the oldtime excitement at
tendant upon starting freshman which happened
n few days ago has been of unusual interest in New
Haven. But even then the hazing was OF an TX
ceedinCy mild character. II followed as matter
of course after unexpected rush by the lresL-
men after the annual wrestling matches OF tho
evening just preceding the opening of college,
when a hand to hand encounter. cheered on by the
upper class men. reproduced a little OF the o'u

were taken aside from their classmates ana put
through some mildly humorous stunts, set up on
fences and made sing to passers by taken alon6

citizens and forced climb the electric light poles
on the college campus and make speeches TO the
crowd below
But the opening of college this year at Yale saw
nothing of the real hazing that was common for
month or m1;e every fall at the university decade
and more ago The Yale undergraduate body has
dropped hazing of it's own volition now for some
years. and there is likelihood that 1t will ever
amount to anything here again. mild sort or
entertainment is still got up on initiation nights
at the various chapter houses OF the junior fra
ternties IL which the incoming neophytes are
made to take the chief comedy roles. but the regu-
lar oldtime hazinE which had rough edge to 1t,
has entirely disappeared.

case There a regular time set apart i'll the
fall term each year for hazing, and the practice
