The A. & M. Hazing.
Wilmington Messenger.

News comes from Raleigh that the
senior class at the Agricultural and
Mechanical college has compelled two
Of the sophOmOres who took part in
the recent hazing to leave the college
and that others will be forced to
leave. Thisis as it should be- While
those men should have been publicly
expelled by the college authorities,
perhaps it is better that they should
have been forced to leave by stu
dents, as it may nave better moral
effect. When the students are made
to know that il they will not keep
solemn pledges made on their honor
but violate them in the performance
of such brutal conduct they will not
be tolerated in their college by their
fellow students they will be more
careful how they break their pledges.
But what we do not understand is
why it was SO easy for members of
the senior class to find out who the
culprits were while at the same time
the faculty found it impossible to Sc
cure any information as to their
identity. If the seniors could get
this information why could not the
faculty do the same?
In connection with this matter and
on the question of the president pros
ecuting students who violate the
criminal law OF the State the News
and Observer says: Can Il college
president prosecutor Taking thepo-
sition that he stands in the position
of parent to the student it says:
Another interesting point in con-
nection with the Governors rec
ommendation that the criminal pro-
ceeding be started against the cul-
prits is the duty Of the college Off
Gals in the premises. The president
of a college is in loco parents to
every student who is matriculated
The more nearly he performs the
duty of a parent toward the students,
the more nearly is he performing his
duty as a president Of a college.
That being true-what OF the crimi-
nal prosecution? Is it tht duty of il
father to have an erring son prose
cuted? Would any father be justified.
finding his son on a spree, in turn
ing him over to the police for drunk
enness? His duty on the contrary
would clearly be to carry or send him
home. Is not the college president S
| duty the same? And is not the fact
that he is in loco parents a bar to
his acting as prosecutor? When the
conduct of a charge is such as to
render him a hurt rather than Il bene-
fit to the college, he may be sent
home to his natural parent But
while he is with his legal parent-the
president-it would seem that the
latter owes the student the duties OF
Il father, as well as the student sur
renders to him the rights of Il pa
rent"
Ii President Winston stands in loco
PARENTS to the students at the col
lege he also represents the State
which maintains redistribution. His
higher duty is to the State who's
agent he is for the proper conducting
OF the affairs OF that institution and
he owes it to the State to see thai
they are properly conducted, that
discipline is maintained, that the
laws of the college and OF the Stat,
are obeyed and those who violate
them are punished His relations to
the students in loco parents surely
cannot outweigh his duties to tn,
State whose agent and representa-
tive he is The latter come first.
