President George T. Winston of the
Agricultural and Mechanical college
said today that the hazing question
has been settled there, every cadet
having signed a written agreement
that there should be no more of it.
He said all did this voluntarily. This
action follows meetings Of III classes,
at which this course was agreed upon.
The pledges have been sig1.ed, a. stat
ed, and placed in the hands Of the
faculty. They cover haZing in every
form and permit no interference what
ever with freshmen. It was found at
the beginning of he term that it was
sought by some of the s1phomores to
dodge in various ways inc promise not
to haze, this being merely verbal. The
information that the matter has been
settled sc completely will be CT very
great satisfaction to the people Of the
state.

been recommended by the resident n
