The word Lent. which is given shls

HAzING AT ACADEMY.
Admiral BrOwnsOn Blamed For It's
Increase

The subcommittee of the House
Committee on Naval Affairs, which
has been Investigating conditions OF
discipline at the Naval Academy, has
completed its inquiry and is now per
pairing its report, which it will submi.
next week
The committee finds that the prac
of hazing has grown materially
since the retire ment of Rear Admiral
BrownsJn as superintendent of the
Academy, and the chief cause for this
condition is attribted to the fact that
Admiral Brownson at the time of his
retirement announced 60 the midship-
men that he would release them from
the pledge they had given him person.
ally TO avoid such practices. The com
mittee will express its surprise at and
perhaps mild criticism of Admiral
Brownson for his action in regarding
tho pledge of the midshipmen as given
Go him personally rather than as the
head of the Academy charged with
the duty of enforcing the regulations
of the Institution. This action the
Committc, iuds had a tendency 10 i'm
press the midshipmen with the idea
that they were in sense privileged
TO commit haziug because they were
under no promise not to do so.
Following the departure of Admiral
Brownson it appears that the midship-
men considered sthat they had a sort
of license to resume the practice
which they had quite generally aban.
doned when he assumed charge. Fur.
tIior than this the committee finds that
thore have been other reasons for the
growth Of the practice. chiefly the
Large increase of midshipmeu in the

THE NEW NAVAL ACADEMY
BUSY CAMPAIGN WITH OPEN
ING OF SPRING.
Report Completion Of Work-0ld
Buildings To Be Torn Down
Group Of Buildings To Be
Completed Before Next
Winter.

The Naval Academy authorities have
in charge the constructive work of tie
new buildings and the different con
structioR companies. of which the Noel
Construction Company Of Baltimore
is the most largely engaged, will begin
a busy campaign with the opening of
spring TO bring about the rapid COM
pletion of the whole work. 1t is be-
lieved that bv the succeeding winter
the work will be so far advanced that
all the temporary structures now used
as recitation halls aud for other pur-
poses can be torn down and the Acad-
emy will present much the appearance
that it will when~all work is done
The work which is now going on
consists, besides some inside work. of
large amount OF grading aud filing
and the digging of a reservoir which
will supply water for all purposes at
the Academy. The reservoir Will be
about 200 feet in diameter and will
be II feet deep Ii is situated between
the old armory and midshipmen 5
quarters and exactly on the ground
formerly occupied by temporary der.
mitory. The work of filling in the
large parade ground in front of Ban
croft Hall is also going on.
The ground upon which tie Admins
tration Building is TO be placed has
been fenced in and the work win be
pushed rapidly in the spring. It is
between the new chapel and the Mary
land avenue gate aud near the present
wall.
Work on the Academic Building.
containing Glassrooms aud laborator-
les, will be pushed rapidly in the
spring, it being now about two-thirds
completed. When il is finished nearly
all the temporary buildings will be
torn down. There are also some fin.
ishing tou shes TO be put on Bancroft
Hall, which includes the construction
of the colonuade connecting its wings
with the armory and seamanshiI
buildings on either side.
The only building Of the original
group not yet under way is the power
house, the building of which was de.
layed by the sinking of the >foundA.
tions. New ones are being constructed
and work on the power house will be
pushed as rapidly as possible.
Two buildings, not of the regular
Academy group, but connected with
IT,, are the hospital AMI the expert.
mental building. The former is stu.
! ated on the Government Farm and il
| about half finished The experiment
tai building is on the old provins
grounds across the Severn river from
the Naval Academy and will be com
menced shortly.
While there is little doubt that there
will be details of the immense worI
to be completed during several NOR,
years, yet it is believed that tn,
group will have very much the ap
peafance of completed work befoI,
next winter.
