A Truth Well Stated.

A SHORT time since the trustees of Princeton College appointed a committee of five to consider and report “the best means to be adopted to put an end to the detestable practice of ‘hazing’ in the College.” In their report, the committee say:—

“The ruffian has no rightful place among gentlemen; least of all in an institution of learning. Not only does his influence tend to contaminate all with whom he comes in contact, but the very intellectual training he may receive will only serve to render him a more dangerous member of society. His presence in the institution should not be for a moment tolerated after his real character becomes known; and should he be found guilty of any outrage (inflicting upon any student personal indignity or violence), he should be ignominiously expelled.”
