No Rushing at Amherst.

The agitation at Amherst in favor of abolishing "rushes" culminated last Saturday in the action of the freshman class which voted by a very large majority (there being only eight opposing votes) not to take part in any rushes with the incoming class of '92. The question of giving up the custom of cane rushing has been brought up by a number of classes, but without result, and Ninety-one thought that on account of its large numbers and athletic success it was strong enough to crush out the custom. In regard to this action, President Seeley said: "You may express in whatever way you wish my unqualified approval of it. There has never been such a hopeful prospect for the entire overthrow of rushing, and I trust it will succeed." Dr. Hitchcock believes the decision would be an immense benefit to the college, and that two-thirds of the upper classes would support it.
