The practice of hazing is not new. Transported from the English university, it has in the American college attained to a virulence, even if not to a system, unknown in its original home. If fagging - a 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 past college year witnessed an unusually large number of cases of hazing of extreme severity. Kidnapping was a not infrequent practice, and the branding of victims by means of some strong acid was used to avenge insulted honor. [Harpers' Weekly.
