an exception to the rule in this respect.
However, an apology for beginning

will not alter the fact. Hence we make

Within the last few days a strong
sentiment against hazing in all its
forms has manifested itself on the
campus. While the pranks indulged
in by certain sophomores have been
mostly of the kind designated as a "lit
tle fun," one or two instances have oc
curred to arouse a just indignation
against all mistreatment of freshmen.
This sentiment has not arisen for a
few hours merely, without resulting in
decided action, as has so often been
the case. It has taken the form of a
definite movement to suppress hazing
On another page is printed the state
ment or pledge to which a large num-j
ber of students have committed them
selves a sufficient number, indeed, to
put an immediate end to hazing, if
those who have pledged themselves to
oppose it mean what they say. We
presume, of course, that they do mean
what they .say. In that case, we re
peat, hazing at Carolina must stop. '
Emphasis should fall on that .state
ment of the pledge which commits its
signers to the suppression of all fprms
of mistreating the new men. So long
as it is deemed excusable to take fresh
men from theii" rooms by force, to com
WHY JOIN A LITERARY. SOCIETY, r
In his address on the literary socie
ties delivered to the new men - on Col
lege Night, Mr. C. L. Williams spoke
eloquently and .convincingly of.", the
great benefits to be derived from ac
tive membership in these societies. :
Mr. Williams said:
The real progress of any community
depends upon the efficiency of its aver
age citizen, and the demand for a bet
ter citizenship resulted in the estab
lishment of the University, t Judging
by its lllustrous past we can truthfully
say that it has been an ideal place for
the growing of men, the unfolding of
a richer and fuller manhood and de
velopment of true . citizens. : In r, the
rich traditions and honored history of
the institution the Literary Societies
have occupied a unique position. They
were founded at the : opening of : the
University, and stand foremost among
the great forces which; contribute to
the development of character and
manhood. They offer unsurpassed op
portunities for skill and training in de
bate and knowledge , of i parlimentary
practice. .. ; V him ,;U, , 'U:i:iU
