Notice To Knights and Squires Is Given by Adams
"A rather unfortunate circumstance has arisen in the last last few days in regard to the hazing of the Freshmen during Chapel Period directly in front ot Bovard Auditorium. 1 feel that perhaps some of the Squires and Knights have not been informed that during this period there should be no disturbance. but nevertheless I will have to ask that there be no more hazing of the Freshmen during this period. In addition I would appreciate the cooperation ot those students who do not attend Chapel, if they would retrain from loitering in front of the Auditorium during that period.
"1 greatly appreciate the co. operation of the Students in regard to this matter and I feel that the situation will be improved in the future.
