Correspondence ot The Observer.
Due West. 8- C, Sept. IS. In many re
spects the past week has been an event
ful one at Ersklne. Two days were
spent In discussing the ever-present sub
ject of hazing. After the chapel exercises
Monday morning President Moffatt' an
nounced that the faculty desired to see
the sophomore class in his room. From
time immemorial "freshing" has been
been carried on at Ersklne, although to
no great extent. The new boys were
called "fresh," they .obeyed the orders of
the sophomores, they were targets for
the sophomore as he hurled his paper bag
of water from the dormitory window and
often he would be the unsuspecting vic
tim of a shower bath as he walked the
front veranda of the dormitory. Such
practices as these and others were visited
upon the new students. The sophomore,
class was called for and each member
was required to come before the faculty
and sign a pledge that fee would not be
guilty of hazing In any form and that he
would treat the new students as his fellow-classmates.
By 12 o'clock Monday fif
teen members of the sophomore class had
signed the pledge. But, when the faculty
convened at 2 o'clock the fifteen mem
bers who had Mimed In ths mnmlnff nre-
sented a oaner asklns that their names of enthusiasm and had the entire au
be taken off the nledae. The class was dlence with him as he spoke. It waa the
again called for and every member re- first time in many years that tha stu
quired to re-sign the pledge. After the dents had had tbe pleasure and tha profit
or nearing lit. Kngo on.suen an occas
sloo, for heretofore he had been prevented
from attending the annual student re
ceptions.
The occasion was a magnificent success.
These receptions have, a large place In
the Ufa of the beginning of the college
year, and the one this year was one of
the best ever held.
Last Thursday evening from t until 10
o'clock in the Sunday school room of
Trinity church took place the annual re
ception to the students of Trinity Col
lege snd the students of the Southern
Conservstory of Muslo here. A large
crowd was present, and the occasion was
a most enjoyable one for the young folks.
They began to assemble at the proper
the delight of all present. Mr. Grant then
Introduced Mr. G. M. Daniel, of Roanoke
Rapids, a member - of ' tha junior class,
who spoke for the student body, welcom
ing the, new students to he communltr
and especially to the association and its
work. His; address was .timely and full
of advice. - After, he had finished Mr.
Grant Introduced prof. J. C Wooten, of
the department of Biblical literature, who
spoke for several minutes on tbe impor
tance of new men entering college uniting
and Identifying; themselves with the work
of the Toung Men'a - Christian Associa
tion.' He emphasised the spirit of tbe
association, -what It was endeavoring to
accomplish and how it offered itself to
the siew students.- Mlss Brinson,. at the
close of Professor Wooten's address, fa
vored the audience with another solo, af
ter, which announcements were made and
the audience repaired to Epworth Build
ing, wjiere rn tbe spacious dining hall was
concluded the remainder of , the pro
gramme of the evening.,
Arrangements had been made in the
large dlnlag hall for many people, and
there were about as many there as had
ever been seen there' at one time before.
The occasion had been welt arranged for,
and the tables were , loaded with fruits,
etc., and during the evening; other re
freshments, consisting of cakes, cream.
etc.,- were served to the Jolly crowd. Prof.
Arthur H. Meiitt ot the department of
Greek, -acted as toastmaster and in his
characteristic - style . said ' many witty
things during ths evening. He Introduced
as the first speaker Mr. M. A. Brlggs, of
Durham, .who responded' on Athletlca."
After him the following responded: Rev.

much enthusiasm and held the attention
of the large crowd of young people as hs
told something' of Trinity, her spirit, her
work, and her sons. He emphasised the

At a mass meeting of the students Mon
day, step" were taken to eliminate bas
ing at this college. The senior class had
met before and discussed the best method
for putting an end to this evil and recom
mended the following plan to the student
body: That a committee of nine students
he appointed who would have charge of
hazing and any student found guilty
will be expelled from college. The
faculty represents In a way a su
preme court to which the ones
expelled may appeal. but unless
there Is n apteal the faculty will have
nothing whatever to do with the expul
sion of students charged with hazing.
The main feature of this plan la that
every student is honor bound to report
any student whom he detects hazing. Tbe
plan was unanimously adopted and It Is
believed that Razing Is a thing of the past
at Wake Forest.
