THE MARSHALL CENTENNIAL.

On Feb. 4 the centennial of tho In
stnllntlon of Chief Justice Mnrshnll,
the eminent American jurist nnd fa
mous Interpreter of the United States
Constitution, was observed at Rich
mond, his former home. In view of this
the General Assembly of Virginia char
tered tho John Marshall Memorial As

buying his old home In order to pre
serve it as a permanent memorial.
Among those In' tho association nro
Chief Justice Fuller, ex-Prcsldcnt Har

Chief Justlco Marshall was born In
Fauquier County, Va., In 1765, and was
tho eldest of fifteen children. lie
fought during tho Revolutionary War,
participated In tho battles of Brandy
wine and Monmouth nnd suffered tho
hardships of Valley Forge. After the
war he devoted his attention to law.

Chief Justice Marshall maintained n
commanding position In tho Supremo

especially thoso on International law,
wcro pronounced by him. Ills decis

nuthorlly on Constitutional questions,
and In tho words of a biographer have
"Imparted life and vigor not only to
tho Constitution, but to tho body polit

under the direction of the Supreme

CUSTOM ORIGINATED IN COL
I f LEGES OF THE EAST.
Atrocious tlrntolltr to Defenaoleaa
Btudcnta Una Stirred the Country
Merita Penitentiary Term Rule of
CouJuct l'rcacrlbed for Freahtucu.
Great Interest In tho subject of col
lego hazing was stirred throughout the
cntlro country by tho startling chnrges
which wcro made In connection with
tho death of Cadet Hooz of tho West
Point National Military Academy. Tho
PA1NT1JJO A OAllKT's FACK.
Investigations of tho military board ap
pointed to look Into tho accusations
brought by tho young man's family
wcro closely followed by tho public, nnd
every nverngo American citizen read
with honor nnd disgust tho allegation
thnt tho life of tho boy was ended by,
hazing of tho most outrageous charac
ter. Tho blood of nil decent and Intel
ligent men or women boiled when they
read the revolting story that tnbasco
sauco had been poured down tho throat
IIAZISRS AND ONK
of tho student, who was nt tho mercy
of tho lingers. Tho victim was so ter
ribly Injured by tho fiendish act, so runs
tho story, that death nt last camo to his
relief as n natural consequence of tho
j wounds Inflicted. When the barbarity
of this Inhuman treatment of a defense
less student was realized there was a
demand for nn Investigation nnd tho
detection and punishment of the stu
dents who were guilty of such atrocious
brutality.
Tho demand resulted In tho appoint-
ment of tbo military board, which at
once began taking evidence. Tho caso
was not more than fairly started when
a second Incident was brought to light
through the statements of other par
ents, who alleged that they had lost a
son whose death was directly traceable
to hazing which bo had received at
West Point. These two cases provo
qulto conclusively, If any proof were
needed, that the Infamous practice of
hazing Is fur from extinct, ut least In
some parts of the country. Hazing Is
distinctly a product of eastern collego
life. It originated thero and there has
never been much of It Indulged In out
side of the colleges of the East. It has
been practiced to a limited extent In tho
universities of the West, but It nover
found a strong foothold In the Missis
sippi valley nor In tho States beyond.
Origin la tinar.
College bazlug Is so old a custom that
its origin Is somewhat hazy. Ono
theory Is that It was at least a partial
outgrowth of tbo fagging system of
English colleges, In which It wns the
custom to make new students do me
sial work for the upper classmen. The

hnzlng which has been Indulged In hns
largely been practiced upon freshmen,
but occasionally other classmen havo
been hazed, To hazo means to disturb,
harass, annoy, and It was In some way
figured out that this was Just what
ought to be dono to men entering col
lege for tho first time. It was decided
that they should bo Bervlle and that
they should do whatever they were told
by tipper claBsmcn, no matter how
absurd or degrading nn act should bo
demanded of them. As early as tho
year 1700, sixteen years beforo tho
breaking out of the Revolutionary War,
tho following regulations wcro enacted
at Yale University:
"It being tho duty of seniors to teach
freshmen tho laws, usages and cus
toms of the college, to this end they
nro empowered to order tho wholo
freshmnn class or any particular mem
ber of It to nppcar, In order to bo In
structed nnd reproved, nt such tlmo
and placo as they shall appoint, when
and whero every freshman shall attend,
auswer all proper questions nud behave
decently.
"Tho freshmen aro forbidden to wear
their lints In tho collego ynrd until tho
Mny vacation, nnd whenever a fresh
mnn cither speaks to a superior or Is
spoken to by one ho shall keep his hat
off uutll he Is bidden to put It back on.
"A freshmnn shall not play with any
of the members of au upper class with
out being nsked.
"Freshmen nro required to perform
nil reasonable crrnnds for nuy su
perior." "Freshmen shnll not run In tho col
lego ynrd nor up nnd down stntrs, nor
call to any ouo through a college win
dow." ,
In tho "Ancient Laws nnd Liber
ties" of Harvard similar restrictions
upon tho freshmen are found. Among
them nro:
"No freshman shnll wear his hat In
tho college ynrd unless It rains, halls or
BiiowB, provided he bo on foot and huvo
not both hands full.
OF THEIR VICTIMS.
"Freshmen nro to consider all other
classes us their seniors,
"No frcsliuinu shnll speak to n senior
with his hat on, nor have It on in n
senior's room, nor In his own If a senior
bo thero.
"When nny person knocks nt a fresh
man's door, except In studying time,
ho shnll Immediately open tho door
without Inquiring who Is thero."
I'IkIiIiiik I'rcahniHii huitiilneil.
Tho death blow to tho hat law and
most of theso other absurd regulations
was struck over 100 years ngo, when
Levi Hedge, who was afterward a fa
mous professor, thrcateied to knock
down u senior who demanded that ho
removo his hat. Tho troublo was
brought beforo the president of Har
vard for adjudication and hu decided
In favor of Freshmnn Hedge.
Although (hose regulations wero early
overthrown the spirit underlying them
was kept alive and frequently mani
fested Itself In tho mlstrciitmeut of
members of tho freshmen class. Tho
now college men wero "smoked out,"
taken 'from bud nt midnight and doused
uudcr tho town pump, painted with
green or red paint, made to eat or drink
vllo combinations, blindfolded and
made to run three or four miles, made
to sing or danco or deliver orations,
while very often they wero shorn of
their hair completely. Ttero have been
many Instances of the most vicious
kinds of practices. Young men have
been thrown luto rivers or hikes, head
ed up In barrels aud rolled down hill,
etc. Occasionally freshmen have re
sisted tho perpetration of theso out
rages. Revolvers hnvo been drawn by
both sides, but when tho freshman who
was thus Inclined to defend himself has
been caught unarmed ho has often been
mado to pay dearly for his self-defense.
With tho progress of education uud
civilization theso practices have be
come lesa common Iu many of the largo
universities, but that they still exist to
some extent and In their worst form
Is evident from tho developments In tho
West Point case. This fact led an old
college man to remark the other day:
"Tho time has coino when tho brutal
college hazer should bo treated In ex
actly tho same way as any other crim
inal. No effort should bo spared either
by the collego or civil authorities lo
catch the culprits and when appre
hended they should bo given the full
penalties ullowcd by the law, If a few
of tho young wretches, who nro nothing
but brutes In human form, were sent to
tho penitentiary ns they should ho for
five or ten years It would hnvo a most
salutary effect upon collego hazing."
AMERICAN POETS LONG-LIVED.
With Route Kxceptlouii, Our llarilalluvo
Iteuchcd the Allotted Akc.
A most striking fact Is tho longevity
of our poets. The typical American
poet when ono thinks of It and no
tices tho faces that look down from his
library walls Is found to be nn nged,
hoary man, says Oscar Lovell Tclggs In
tbo Forum. Of tho eight poets pic
hired on tho frontispiece, six nre gray
beards aud Incline to baldness uud of
tho black-haired heads, Laulcr'llved to
bo U0 nnd Poo to bo 40. No American
poet has had tho advantage of John
Keats of dying young with still enough
nccompii8iica to uo compared wiiu
Shakspearo on the ground of his prom
ise. Many fair hopes centered In Corn
Fnbrl, Anno Aldrlch nud Winifred
Howclls, tho youngest of tho sister
hood to lay down their pens; but their
work wns too Incomplete to glvo
prophecy of their maturity. Joseph
Rodman Drnko nt 25, Stephen Crano
nt 20, James Kerry Itcnsel nt SO nnd
Francis ltrookH at :il had hardly begun
their true poetic enrccr. Probably our
lltcrnuro sustained Its greatest loss In
tho denth of Richard Hovey, who wns
destined to nccompllsh grent works nnd
to win high renown; nt .'10 ho wns Just
prepnred for bold ndventure. Tim rod
