A Fine Example.

The West Point military college has set a splendid example for other colleges In sentencing Cadet Wallace B. Scales to two years of punl&ment In hazing Cadet Roberts, a “plebe,” until the latter fainted. Unfortunately the law does now allow college faculties to impose a sentence of punishment, technically speaking, upon refractory students, except In such institutions as those at West Point and Annapolis; but It lies within the power of colleges of *ll kinds to expel the students for hazing. If every college In the land would take a firm stand In this matter and adhere rigidly to the rule it would not be long before hazing wonld be an institution of the past in this country. —Troy Press.
