The Advertiser says very sensibly in regard to the Bowdoin hazing case: "Exactly why the relations of students to their faculties and to each other should not be placed on the ordinary basis of social decorum, enforced, when necessary, by the appropriate legal sanctions, it is difficult to see. Many old fashions are quaint and charming; this one certainly is not. The tone of the age is against this 'peculiar institution.' Overgrown classes, eager individual work in special lines, the advanced age compelled by high standards of qualification, largely relieve the individual student from his duty as guardian of class dignity and general corrigeur des moeurs."
