Seeks to Stop Hazing.
CHICAGO, Dec. 5. An appeal to col
leges, parents and the press to unite in
an effort to stop hazing has been is
sued by President Edmund J. James, of
the University of Illinois. He describes
hazing as a sort of annual epidemic.
"It breaks out at the beginning of the
year," the appeal reads, "and rages
for a time like a fever. It is difficult
to eradicate, owing to the sentiment of
parents and public officials, who, while
condemning the thing In the abstract In
a mild sort of way, practically support
It by refusing to regard it as anything
more than a harmless play."
