Twenty years ago at Amherst College a sophomore, who is now a distinguished Western lawyer, introduced a new method of hazing. At midnight, accompanied by ten or twelve of his classmates, he would enter a freshman's room with a basket of young chimney swallows.

The fun then consisted in witnessing the poor freshman's attempts to catch them which often lasted until dawn. [Harpers Weekly.
