Student Customs (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Student Customs
The varying conditions of this life, from those of early asceticism, when students had no fire, went out to walk only under Special restrictions, were poor and had to work for self-support as up to recent times in the Scotch universi ties, rose to early prayers before light, had hard beds, found no vent for their superabounding animal spirits in athleticism, conformed to the rigors of monastic life with its fasts and penalties, or were exposed by overwork and restraint to the reactions of excessive license, rioting, dis sipation, theft, pillage, vandalism, and even assaults, rapes, burglaries and murders, such as often occurred in the universities of the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, illustrate almost every phase of the secret asso ciations so characteristic of savagery with elaborate initia tions, abuses perpetrated on new students, the great religious and sceptical movements, athleticism, self-gov ernment, ideals of honor, personal encounters, warfare with faculty and town, amusements and all phases of subcivilized human life.
