HAULED UP.  In many colleges, one brought up before the Faculty is said to be hauled up.

HAZE.  To trouble; to harass; to disturb.  This word is used at Harvard College, to express the treatment which Freshmen sometimes receive from the higher classes, and especially from the Sophomores.  It is used among sailors with the meanings to urge, to drive, to harass, especially with labor.  In his Dictionary of Americanisms, Mr. Bartlett says, “To haze round, is to go rioting about.”

Be ready, in fine, to cut, to drink, to smoke, to swear, to haze, to dead, to spree,—­in one word, to be a Sophomore.—­Oration before H.L. of I.O. of O.F., 1848, p. 11.

  To him no orchard is unknown,—­no grape-vine unappraised,—­
  No farmer’s hen-roost yet unrobbed,—­no Freshman yet unhazed!
    Poem before Y.H., 1849, p. 9.

  ’T is the Sophomores rushing the Freshmen to haze.
    Poem before Iadma, 1850, p. 22.

                                Never again
  Leave unbolted your door when to rest you retire,
  And, unhazed and unmartyred, you proudly may scorn
  Those foes to all Freshmen who ’gainst thee conspire.
    Ibid., p. 23.

Freshmen have got quietly settled down to work, Sophs have given up their hazing.—­Williams Quarterly, Vol.  II. p. 285.

We are glad to be able to record, that the absurd and barbarous custom of hazing, which has long prevailed in College, is, to a great degree, discontinued.—­Harv.  Mag., Vol.  I. p. 413.

The various means which are made use of in hazing the Freshmen are enumerated in part below.  In the first passage, a Sophomore speaks in soliloquy.

                      I am a man,
  Have human feelings, though mistaken Fresh
  Affirmed I was a savage or a brute,
  When I did dash cold water in their necks,
  Discharged green squashes through their window-panes,
  And stript their beds of soft, luxurious sheets,
  Placing instead harsh briers and rough sticks,
  So that their sluggish bodies might not sleep,
  Unroused by morning bell; or when perforce,
  From leaden syringe, engine of fierce might,
  I drave black ink upon their ruffle shirts,
  Or drenched with showers of melancholy hue,
  The new-fledged dickey peering o’er the stock,
  Fit emblem of a young ambitious mind!
    Harvardiana, Vol.  III. p. 254.

A Freshman writes thus on the subject:—­

The Sophs did nothing all the first fortnight but torment the Fresh, as they call us.  They would come to our rooms with masks on, and frighten us dreadfully; and sometimes squirt water through our keyholes, or throw a whole pailful on to one of us from the upper windows.—­Harvardiana, Vol.  III. p. 76.

HEAD OF THE HOUSE.  The generic name for the highest officer of a college in the English Universities.
