md How The Practice Had
Its Origin

, Il appears that the practise of haz-
Ing has an origin more ancient and
more respectable than is generally sup
posed, says the Youths Companion. In
the early centuries of the Christian
era every professor was Independent
OF the others. In other words he con.
Quoted the business of teaching entire
ly on his own account. In city like
C0nstantinople, Athens or Alexandria
there would be, perhaps, four or FIVE
professors Of about the same standing
and authority. and between them there
would exist a rivalry In which their
students would naturally interest
themselves.
The admirers Of each professor left
no stone unturned to get for him new
students and increased fees. When a
young man arrived to pursue his stu
dies a band of students would meet
him, bear him of to the house of one
Of his countrymen. and employ every
means, fair or foul, to induce him to
join their classes.
Frequently they resorted to violence
Libanius, himself a professor, who liv.
ed In the fourth century, has told how
he Jared when he arrived as a student
In Athens. After triumphing over the
dangers of a winter voyage from Con.
stantinople, he was seized. on landing
by band OF scholars, and kept in con.
fnement until he had taken an oath to
join the class of their professor. And
the worst of 1t was that he found the
professor very incompetent. But II he
presumed to criticize or failed to join
In the rapturous applause. the scowls
OF the class would warn him that he
was exercising a dangerous freedom
So hot was the rivalry between pro-
fessors and classes that the town was
sometimes In continuous riot. and a
professor dared not walk the streets un.
less escorted by band Of his parti.
zans. And. Just as In modern times
hazing has been defended as a fine and
useful thing, SO these contests be.
tween rival classes had kind of ro
mantle attraction for the students.
Libanius records that when, as q
young man, he heard of the fighting In
the streets of Athens among the stu
dents, of the clubs, stones and swords
used, and of the wounds endured by
the students for the honor OF their
teachers, he thought as highly of their
courage as II they had been fighting
for their country, and hoped that he
too, might some day Join In these
contests.
/. In the course of tune, however, the
mon cause with one another, and en-
tered into agreements for their mu
tual interests. As time went ON, these
agreements became more and more
| comprehensive, until at length the bo
dy of instructors formed n university
The students were no longer attached
I to one professor only, but sought In
struction from each In his own branch
From that tie on the practise Of haz
ing newcomers had no significance
That II should have SO long endured is
n curious instance of the survival of a
practise long after the circumstances
in which Il had its origin have ceased
| to exist.

ENTERPRISING MITCHELL

G. II. Atkinson returned home the
last OF the week from Mitchell, hay
ing completed his big paving contract
for that enterprising city. The con
tract covered nine blocks on the bust
ness streets and amounted to $4,000.
The city also installed a cluster light
system along the entire nine blocks
and Mr.. Atkinson says that it presents
a beautiful sight at night and it is
doubtful if there is another city in the
country of its size that presents such
a metropolitan appearance. On We'd
nesday night OF last week the lights
were turned on for the first time and
a celebration upon the completion of
the public improvements, was held.
At s o'clock all the steam whistles in
the city blew for Is minutes, and more
than 200 automobiles appeared on the
brilliantly lighted street and made a
parade through the paved street sec
ton. The improvements represent an
expenditure of more than $4,000, and
gives that city one Of the most attrac-
tive streets in the northwest. Mayor
Hitchcock issued a proclamation for
turning on the lights and using the
street for the parade. which was Wit
messed by a crowd Of over 5000 people
Hereafter the street will be lighted
with the cluster lights, and the arc
lights, which have done service for so
many years, will be discarded The
city purchased the lights, put them in
and will furnish the power.
