* Early Brown University hazing

Page 3 has an article: "The Difficulty at Brown University" between students and faculty. It begins: "A custom has long prevailed in the college and has latterly increased, of 'hazing' the freshmen. At first the ceremony was little more than a harmless pleasantry...the 'hazing' has grown more severe..." with details as to what is involved.
Four pages, nice condition. The folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.
