Hazing Ritual at the University of Pittsburgh

1940 University of Pittsburgh hazing ritual captured on 16mm home movies. Music provided by the Hal Otis Trio, recorded on a home record-cutting unit in 1946 shortly after Hal was featured on the cover of DownBeat magazine. One of the great fiddle players of all time. Be sure to watch in High Quality.

People thought in those days if one held the cigarette upright it would burn slower.

Students are being killed in the brutal hazings today. I guess that is what they call progress.

Awesome! So rare to see the real thing from back in the golden age of hazing (roughly 20's to early 70's). But where are the pledge olympics like the olive race and the elephant walk? you can't bond without that stuff. lol.
