...custom of which Dr. Arnold of Rugby approved - is not its parent, it is at least its sister evil, since both spring from the propensity of tyranny on the part of the older and stronger over the younger and weaker. But these ancient customs may be esteemed most honorable to the freshman in comparison with the indignities and barbarities which are at the present time occasionally heaped upon him, and which he frequently revenges by insults equally severe upon his persecutors.

The college man has a keen and high regard for his honor, and his honor would forbid the breaking of his pledge. Let such an agreement be made for one or two years in almost any college, and the practice of hazing is practically abolished." The only real reform will come, we think, when as at Harvard the students have outgrown the silly...
