, for a period of ten, twenty, and thirty days at one time. On
one of these occasions, two of the officers were killed at the Fiji

_Harvard University_.
On the subject of the University we cannot help wishing that a
change will one day be adopted which will put an end to the foolish
bickering between the government and the students, which almost every
year breaks out into those uncomfortable fracases which are called
`Rebellions.' Cambridge is so well endowed, and offers such large
means of education, that it can easily assume the position of an
University, and leave to the numerous younger Colleges the charge of
pupils too young to be trusted from home. This is instantly effected
by the Faculty's confining itself to the office of Instruction, and
omitting to assume the office of Parietal Government. Let the
College provide the best teachers in each department, and for a
stipulated price receive the pupil to its lecture-rooms and
libraries; but in the matter of morals and manners, leave the student
to his own conscience, and if he is a bad subject to the ordinary
police.
