Teacher Hazed by Collegians.

The first case of hazing for more than a dozen years took place at Lehigh University, South Bethlehem, Pa., Friday night. The victim was Howard Logan Bronson, Instructor in physios. He became unpopular as the result of "plucking” a large number of students at the recent examinations. Bronson was decoyed from home by a 'phone message and the hazers blindfolded him and compelled him to do all manner of things. On his refusal to jump Into the Lehigh river he was beaten with switches and thrown In. He ran home with dripping clothing.
