STARTS WAR ON HAzING
Faculty Spured to Action by Attempt
Of Sophomores to Initiate Freshmen.

Special to The washineton Herald.
New York. March A.-Stirred by the
hazing revelations which are coming to
light since a sophomore vigilance COM
mittee" OF six were spanked Thursday
night by q policeman at Edgewater, N. J..
whittier they had gone to haze four fresh
men. members Of the Columbia Univer-
sity faculty are taking steps today to
abolish hazing at that institution.
II am going to push the inquiry and
see that 1t gets properly before the fac
ulty," one professor, who refused to per-
NIT the use of his name said today.
"Hszing is barbarous. why, when ]
called Junior classman In here to ask
him about the sophomore 'vigilantes' a.
reported in the Globe, he said. oh, they
are merely trying to make men out OF
the freshmen"
Some of the ways in which the "vigi-
lantes"-a secret committee Of twenty
sophomores-have been trying to make
men of the freshmen were related to-
day by Edgewater police, to whom resi-
dents of the Jersey town have been COM
planning for months. Edgewater is op-
posite both street, Manhattan, and its
woods are the closest timber to the uni
versity. Consequently 1t is frequented
by hazing parties, whose doings can be
observed by the neighbors.
One of the stunts" which the
| ''vigilantes' compel freshmen victims to
perform, the Edgewater police say, Is to
climb blindfolded down the Hudson River
cliffs. Appellee order forbidding hazing
in the precincts OF Edgewater was issued
today.
According to information from re-
liable sources two freshmen appeared on
the Columbia campus today armed with
revolvers and openly declaring that II
the "vigilantes' attempted to carry them
off they would open fire. One of the two
was a member of the party whose haz-
! ing Thursday night was thwarted by
