Four A. A M. Students Sent Home
For Engaging in It What Dr.
Winston Says.
News and Observer, Sept 'JHth.
Four members of the Sopho
more class have been dismissed
from the A. A -M. College for
hazing Freshmen. The faculty
took summary action in their
case, for they are resolved to put
down hazing at any cost. The
A- & M. College is a new institu
tion and the practice of hazing
has not been firmly established
theae. The faculty are unani
mous and unalterable in the de
termination that this evil shall
not become a recognized custom
in this college.
The young men dismissed were
guilty of the offense of making
Freshmen wait on them, bring
water, make up beds, sweep up
rooms, ttc The students of the
college, as a part of their train
ing, are required to wait on
themselves, cleaning up their
own rooms and performing other
like services. Some of the Sopho
mores have recently turned over
these services to Freshmen whom
they require to attend upon them
and their rooms. The readers
of "Tom Brown at Rugby" will
doubtless recall a similar system
of fagging which prevailed in
England a century or3 more ago,
but this is a new custom for
American colleges and not likely
to be put up with either by col
lege faculties or by boys of spirit.
It is said the custom exists in
certain high schools and acade
mies in North Carolina where
the larger boys bully the smaller
and make them wait on them
like servants.
On being asked what the atti.
tude of the college authorities is
in regard to hazing, President
Winston said last night:
"We are unalterably opposed
to hazing in any manner, shape
or form. It is a brutal, demoral
izing, unmanly practice, unwor
thy of a gentleman either to do J
it or to bear it. It humiliates
any man either to haze or to be
hazed, lowering his self-respect
and real manliness. There is no
place for hazing in the A. & M.
College. Our students as a body
do not favor it. Nearly all of
them are at the college for an
earnest, manly purpose. Most
of them are paying their own ex
penses either wholly or in part,
and many of them are supporting
themselves entirely by labor even
while studying. There are not
fifty boys in the college whocame
for the fashion of coming, or for
the gentility of it, or merely to
spend money and have a good
time- Among such a body of
young men hazing, of course, is
entirely out of place. There are
not over twenty -five men in the
college who really favor hazing,
and all the mischief of this sort
is due either directly or indirect
ly to one or more of these twenty
rive. "Hazing must be stopped, and
it can be stopped like any other
lawlessness. It is the worst evil
in college life today. This form
of lawlessness can be dealt with
in colleges by the same agencies
and in the same manner that
other lawlessness is dealt with in
the larger world, and more easily
and more successfully, because
the community is smaller, more
compact and more easily con
trolled than the larger commu
nity outside of college walls.
"A college is a little world in
training for the bigger world.
It is a little world of select young
men with select teachers seeking
to discover paths of honor and
usefulness in life and to be trained
to follow them. The little college
world can not afford to have ideals
less manly, less honorable, less
noble than the big, rough outside
of business,
nree agencies are responsi
ve for hazing in our schools and
colleges, just as three agencies
are responsible for lawlessness
in the big w ' ' -) wit: (1) Gov
erning bodies of legal autnorities;
(2) Public sentiment; (3) The vic
tims of the hazing or lawlessness
"The governing body or legal
authority always has a duty to
nerform. It must instruct and
lead public sentiment, nQt only
bv advice and counsel, but by
enforcing the law and by admin
istering punishment when neces
sary with firmness, certaintyand
courage.
"Public sentiment should sus
tain the governing body by de
nouncing lawlessness, informing
on it, and making its existence a
stench in the nostrils of all decent
people.
"The victims of lawlessness,
whether in college or out, should
defend themselves. If they are
to be beaten, kicked around and
humiliated, let it be after manly
resistance.
There is no such thing as
'mild hazing' or 'voluntary haz
ing.' This is a school and college
joke fit for the Horse Marines or
other idiots to swallow- Any
hazintr leads to roughness, and
roughness to violence, and vio
lence to occasional tragedies. All
college men understand this
Whenever a manly fellow refuses
to submit to the 'mild hazing,
'playful pleasantries,' and 'jocu
lar amenities, of his tormentors
and declines to do the 'mild
things' which they order him to
do, the young ruffiians teach him
a lesson by banding together.
attacking him m the night, ana
giving him such a dose of bru
tality as will teach him hereafter
how to be pleasant and happy
when they come around again
with a dose of 'mild hazing. '
The A. and M. College is too
busy for this sort of foolishness,
childishness, rowdyism.and idio
tic brutality. The truth is that
the custom of hazing no longer
exists at first class institutions.
It is a distinct sign of inferiority,
of second-rateness, either in the
institution or in the young men
attending it. It means a low
grade of conduct and of manners,
and a poor standard not only of
gentlemanliness, but also of com
mon sense.
"Hazing must go from all the
colleges, or they will forfeit pub
confidence and patronage."
RENNERT NEWS NOTES.
Poor Crops Prospects Survey of
Road Made.
Corresponence of the Robesonian .
The rains continue to come and
the farmers continue to grumble
or, lament over a half crop of
cotton well, it is enough the give
some of us the blues what little
we have it is very dificult to get
it gathered.
Mr. J. J. Davenport, whose
sickness was mentioned last week,
proved fatal- He was buried in
the Smith family buryingground,
near Mt. Tabor church, last Fri
day at ll a. m., Rev. Dr. Evans
officiating.
J. W. McNeill still continues
to be a very sick man with ty
phoid fever.
Mr. D, B. McNeill completed
the surveying for the new public
road from Rennert to Saddle
Tree church, Mr. McNeill did
a nice piece of work, as it was a
dificult job. We -believe Mr.
McNeill to be one of the best
survyeors in the county if not
State. The survey is almost per
fectly straight and the road will
be a great value to this section
of the country and we do hope
the road supervisors and the
county commissioners will put
themselves in motion and have
the road built at once.

Growth ol Telephone.
Scrlbnera Magazine.
"Hello, Central!" was first
heard in 1878.' Today the' ex
changes are numbered by the
thousand, the telephones by the
million . Various industries, un
known thirty years ago but now
sources of employment to many
thousands of workers, depend
entirely on the telephone for sup
port. Numerous factories, mak
ing lead sheating, dynamos,
motors, generators, batteries, of
fice equipments,cables,and many
other appliances, would have to
close down and thus throw their
operatives into idleness and mis
ery it the telephone bell should
cease to rin. The Bell Company
employs over,87,000 persons and,
it may be added pay them well-
Many of these employes have
families to maintain, others sup
port their parents or aid younger
brothers and sisters It is safe
to say that 200,000 people look to
the telephone for their daily
bread- These figures may be
supplemented by the number of
telephones in use (5,698,000), by
the number of miles of wire (6,-
043,000) on the Bell lines, and by
the number of conversations (4,-
489,500,000) electrically conveyed
in 1905. The network of wire
connects more than 33,000 cities,
towns, villages and hamlets.
Such tremendous growth as
these statistics show would im
ply not only a steadily increasing
appreciation of the telephone,
but would also suggest improved
instruments,moreskillfull opera
tors, and better service.
There would be no flattery in
such suggestion. Electrical
science has undergone radical
reformation sinec 1876- Tele
phony has raised the utilization
of electricity to the highest of a
profession. Of cpurse, such ad
vances have not been won with
out cost. Fortunes were spent
in experiment and investigation
before a dollar came back. Com
munication by the first telephone
was limited to a few thousand
feet.
Now conversation can be car
ried on by persons 1,600 miles
apart. Tomorrow long distance
ines will span the continent; and
the day after oceanic telephony
will be a commonplace, of mer
cantile rutine. But science and
money had to collaborate for
years before they could work the
miracle of enabling Boston and
Omaha to talk together.
