We should infer from a few remarks in the current Brunonian that hazing in a mild form is still more or less prevalent at Brown University. We suppose the Brunonian will object to our terming the practices "hazing," and in truth the word "roughing" would come nearer to expressing the idea in the mind of a college man. From the article in question, it seems that it has been a custom more or less prevalent among the different classes, for the sophomores to indulge in such practical jokes upon the freshman as to sell them seats in the chapel or hymn books. A favorite trick seems to be to refer the unsuspecting young man who has just taken out his papers in that classic university to the house of some professor for a boarding place. The amiable sophomore also has the habit of making friends with his freshman victim and offering to initiate him into the mysteries of the university. We, at Harvard, feel confident that our freshmen are a superior order of being to the Brown freshmen. No Harvard freshman was ever known to be so anxious to secure a chapel seat as to pay for it, and from the affair of Monday night we have discovered that our freshmen, at least our present freshmen, have no difficulty in initiating themselves as well as their sophomore friends with the mysteries of the square. We do not know whether we ought to say that '87 has begun well, but we can surely say that she has begun early.
