"Statute Forbidding Any One to Annoy or Unduly Injure the Freshmen.
Each and every one attached to this university is forbidden to offend
with
insult, torment, harass, drench with water or urine, throw on or defile
with
dust or any filth, mock by whistling, cry at them with a terrifying
voice, or
dare to molest in any way whatsoever physically or severely, any, who
are called freshmen, in the market, streets, courts, colleges and
living
houses, or any place whatsoever, and particularly in the present
college,
when they have entered in order to matriculate or are leaving after
matriculation."
Leipzig University Statute (1495)
Does this mean one would have to stop throwing poop at the frosh on
the first day of class? No more passing around a bowl of rat boli in
class
and saying that it's black jelly beans? Man, teaching is just no fun
anymore! ;-)

P.S. The quote above says "Unduly Injure the Freshmen". One
wonder under what conditions one is allowed to "Duly Injure the
Freshman"?
P.P.S. One wonders what went on at colleges without such a statute.
And students think today's colleges are hard! ;-)
