Most mensurs are now fought as fest,
which means that the dueists must keep
to their original positions. The free

vance and retire. is dying out. These rules
and the presence of two armed seconds,
whose business 1t is to parry any ugly
looking stroke, make the mensur less
dangerous. And the system of covering
almost the whole body with "armor'
deprives the fight of what danger is left.
Jena student corps first introduced the
wearing of "armor.' The armor was in
tended against the dangers of the orgi
nal thrust duels. The first armor was
leather apron which protected the under
body; a glove. a leather cravat for the
neck, a leather arm-buckler, and
"paukhut," or padded cap. This did not
protect the eyes. Heidelberg introduced
the wearing of protective goggles. The
padded cap disappeared. Goggles are
now worn at all contests.
Mensur. duels present now no possible
danger to life, and practically no danger
of serious wound. A complete i'm
penetrable leather jacket covers body.
arms and neck; spectacles protect the
eyes, and. as only cutting is allowed, the
one possible form of wound is a slash on
the Jaw or cheek. If a second sees what
looks like an exceptionally hard cut he
parties it, SO that slashes are seldom
deep. Every students corps recognizes
the doctrine that mensur duels must not
produce serious injuries. This doctrine is
SO well accepted that the reputation of
a corps is created not by the severity
of the duels, but by the large number of
very slight wounds which it gives and
receives. A relatively bad "abfuhr.' with
too much loss of blood, Injuries a corps
