FAGGING, a term used more particularly to denote a degrading species of servitude still (1855) authorized at Eton, and perhaps imitated in one or two other schools, by which the junior boys (or those of the lower school as it is called) are compelled to act in the capacity of servants, or "fags," to the older or more advanced pupils. Several attempts have of late years been made to abolish this remnant of barbarism,—a reform, it is to be hoped, that will soon be effected.
