During the past twenty-four hours
a movement having- in view the abso
lute and final abolishment of hazing
at Davidson College has been inaugu
rated and carried to a successful issue,
and it is confidently believed that
hence-forth and for all time "fresh
ing-" is at an end. The matter was
thoroughly discussed and duly con
sidered last evening at a mass meet
ing of the students when by a unani
mous vote it was definitely decided to
call into requisition here the honor
system as was so successfully done a
few years ago in reference to damage
to college property. At that time
the students formerly agreed to make
it a matter of honor for each indivi
dual to report any damage that he
himself might do any property on the
campus and in case any man should
fail to do this his fellows would take
the matter up and deal with him
as a violator of his pledged honor.
The plan has worked admirably and
the innocent no longer have to pay
, damage, fees for the guilty, and not
only so but the esprit de corps of the
students in the matter has been high
and praiseworthy to a degree. Nowj
there is every reason to believe that
with the students agreeing to handle
the matter of hazing and not to toler
ate it again, making it a point of
honor both to stand by the resolution
individually and to lend their collec
tive aid in the enforcement of the new
law, there will not hereafter be any
room to complain that the college is
not keeping in the lead in this one, of
the 20th century reforms, as in many
others.
There is no room to doubt that
Davidson has suffered greatly in re
cent years in reputation by reason of
the prevalence here to some degree of
certain forms of. "freshing." No
doubt very exaggerated reports have
spread far and wide about the situa
tion and little things have been mag
nified into very great ones, but it can
not be denied that the facts were not
altogether complimentary and that the
system of "initiating" new men by
various kinds of very objectionable
treatment was getting a firmer , and
more secure hold on the campus. It
has been felt for a long time by fac
ulty and students that the only solu
tion of the difficulty was to make a
strong, stirring and plain appeal to
the student body itself to rise, to the
occasion and wipe the thing out at
one stroke. The occasion presented
itself last night, when Shearer Hall
was filled with students, alumni,
faculty and members of the board of
trustees. Eloquent and stirring re
marks were made by Mr. George Wil
son, Sr., of Charlotte, and'Mr. W. J.
Rondey, of Rock Hill, S. CM by Presi
dent Smith, Dr. W. J. Martin, Rev.
Dr. M. E. Sentelle, of the faculty,
and Rev. Dr. T. W. Lingle, field rep
resentative of Davidson, and then by
scores of enthusiastic students.
After the discussion, before any ex
pression of opinion was asked for
from the students the faculty retired
from the room and a mass meeting of
the students proper was called with
George E. Wilson, Jr., president of
the body, in the chair. The sopho
more class without a dissenting voice
pledged itself to support the resolu
tion now introduced, and all the
officers of the other classes pledged
their respective organizations to the
same end. Unanimously and enthu
siastically the resolution was then
adopted, rounds of applause greeting
the anouncement. No one here doubts
that what was done last evening, will
be far reaching in its effects. ' The
abolishment of this long entrenched
custom means a wonderful stride for
ward in the betterment of campus con
ditions and the permanent advan
cement of the college in every way.
It will make its hold upon a loyal and
devoted clintele the stronger and in
crease the interest and affection that
every friend and patron has felt in and
for it. It will make the task of those
seeking to enlarge its endowment far
easier and dissipate the force! of any
criticism that its students tolerate and
uphold a vicious system that has long
since had its day among progressive
and growing institutions of learning
Charlotte Observer. f
Wake Forest, N. C, Sept. 13. A
large number of loyal sons of ; Wake
Forest met here today and formed the
Wake Forest Alumni Athletic As
sociation. This is undoubtedly the
greatest step in favor of athletics at
this college that has ever been taken.
This association, will, through its
Students' Association, finance the ath
letic teams of Wake Forest, particu
larly football and baseball. Football,
which is in its infancy at this place,
will be placed on a firm foundation,
and itisafe to say that within a
short time Wake Forest will be a can
didate for championship honors. The
prospects are bright for football this
fall. News and Observer.
. With prospects for a brilliant team
the coming season, and the certainty
of plenty of material, football enthu
siasm is at the top notch at the Uni
versity of Virginia, and the team
which takes the field for the universi
ty this fall will be supported solidly
by every man who was ever a student

ginia. Charlottesville , Va., Dispatch,
