NM UNIVERSITY REFORM. tl y i alltiJ WO., The - following is the answer proposed by the Syndidate,to Lord Palmerston's letter "The Syndicate appointed December 23, 1853, to take into consideration such parts of the letter addressed, December 12, 1853, to the Chancellor of the University, by her Majesty's Secretary of State. for the Home De partment as relate to tiro University, and to make such remarks thereon as they may deem fit,' for the purpose of their being transmitted by the Vice-Chancellor to his Royal - Highness, such remarks, however, being pre viously submitted to the Senate - fer confirmation, beg leave to rportio the Senate : "That in 'conformity with the terms of their appoint ment they have taken into consideration those points in the letter of her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Horne Department, which concern the University, omit ting those which specially concern the Colleges ; and that after careful deliberation they recommend that the following remarks be transmitted in the name of the Senate to the Chancellor : "L THE CONSTITUTION Or THE UNIVERSITY. "The report of the Commissioners appointed by the Queen to inquire into the state, discipline,' studies, and revenues of the University makes frequent mention of the Syndicate appointed to revise the Stat s ute of the University. That Syndicate was appointed March 7, 1849, more than 12 months before the announcement of the Royal Commission ; special preparation for the work with which it was entrusted having been made during a long time previous to its appointment by the careful collection and arrangement of the existing laws and customs of the University. The Syndicate pro ceeded in a course of long and frequent sittings, not of statutes sttult2etshgyiveeanr of her only to revise the present b ody y University by Queen Eliza be th reign, but also to. review the_eentizns:rteiesßyal oo Letters, f antecedent, of t and 'subsequent Graces h and decrees of the Heads of Colleges, With the object o f prepar i ng a new code of academical laws. - / f Ardeing the points which engaged the attention of the Syndicate on e of the most important was that which her majest y' s ' Secretary of State far the Rome Depart ment mentions as the first .af,those w ith respect to which, Rep Majesty's Government conceive that plans o f -i m provement should be entertained—viz., An alters- tion , o f the oonstitutionAd the Universities, with a view , to the more general and; efrective representation of the aev eral maip elements wfiicti . properly enter into their c omPoeitlOn.' 4 "The constitution which is now in force, by the statutes of 12th Elizabeth requireS that every Grace or Proposition for the administration , of University affairs should be approved by each of the two Houses of which the •Senate is composed ; but that previously to its being proposed to the Haulm it should be submitted to a Council, or Caput Senatacconsisting of the Chancel lor or Vice-Chancellor, one Doctor in, each of the three faculties of Divinity, La*, ankPhysic, one Master of Arts of tie Non-Regent House-4. e,, of more than five years' standing, and one Master of Arts of the Regent e., of less than five years' standing ; each member of the Caput having the power of rejecting the Grace by his sole n egative voice. "The Syndicate-made a report to the Senate respect ing the constitution and powers of the Caput on May 28, 1822, recommending that the Caput, constituted as at present, but appointed by more free mode of elec tion, should retain- its powers so far only as respects Graces for conferring degrees, and that for the considera tion of all Graces relating to other academical business a council should be formed and regulated in the follow ing manner : " The Heads of Colleges shall appoint three members " ' The Doctors in the faculties of Divinity, Law, and Physic, not being Heads of Colleges, shall appoint three members ; that is to say, the Doctors in Divinity one, the Dectors in 'Law another, and the Doctors in Physic a third. " 'The Professors, not being either Heads of Colleges or Doctors in any one of the said three faculties, shall appoint three;nriembers. "'And lastly, the gelleges shall appoint three Non- P.ogents and three Regents. " One member of each of the five classes above mentioned Shall' go out in rotation every year on NoVernber 6, being however re-eligible, and on the same day the appointments by the` Heads of Colleges, Doctors, and Professors shall be made in the Senate Rouse, the Chancellor' and the head of a college senior' in degree, the two Doctors in each Faculty senior in degree, and the two Professors senior in degree standing in scrutiny. That they have most votes in the first security shall be deemed to be ap pointed, and so, likewise if it be necessary to resort to a second or third land scrutiny. At the same time the names of the Non-Regent and . R egent appointed by the Colleges, the appointment of them resting with those colleges whose turn it may be to appoint the Scrutators, shall be certified to the Chancellor by the Masters of those colleges or their deputies. The names of all the persons appointed shall be immediately published to the Senate by the Senior Proctor. " The day after (Sunday not being reckoned in either ease) all the five persons, so appointed shall be separately proposed to the Senate for election by Grace for three years ; and fifteen persons so elected shall, with the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor of the pre ceding year, constitute the said Council. " 'ln case of a vacancy by death, or by any other cause which shall be deemed sufficient by the Chan cellor and two senior Doctors present in the - University, the class or college which appointed before may appoint again within a time to be prescribed by the Chancel lor ; every person so appointed may hold the place of a member on the council for the same period as that during which the person, whose substitute he is, would have held it. But if the cause of vacancy be not deemed sufficient, or if any appointment, whether of an original member or of a substitute, be not duly made or certified, or if the person appointed be not elected by the Senate, then the election shall be made in the manner* prescribed in chapter v., section 9, of the draught of the revised statues. " On every occasion, when any member of the coun cil intends to absent himself from the University for a limited period of time, not exceeding one term, he shall be at liberty to appoint a deputy during such absence, who shall be offered to the Senate for election by Grace. " If any ,member shall have been absent from all the meetings of the council during two successive terms his place shall be ipso facto void. " ' The place of a member of the council shall not be rendered void either by his resuming his Regency, if a Non-Regent, or by his promotion to Non-Regency, if a Regent. - • ‘" The duty of the Council shall be to consider and prepare all Graces to be offered to the Senate, except ing those for conferring degrees, whether proceeding from individual members of the Senate or from Syndi cates ; nor shall any Grace, except for conferring a degree, be offered to the Senate without the previous sanction of the major„ part of those voting upon it in the council. " 'No business shall be transacted in the council unless five members, at the least, be present, of whom the Chancellor shall always be one ; and he shall have the casting vote when the votes are equally divided. In case of a diTerence of opini,n between the Chancellor and a majority of the council shall be valid without the approval of a majority of the whole number as to the Chancellor may seem fit.' " Meetings of the council shall be held at least in every alternate week during term time, ancl,also at such other times as to the Chancellor may seem fit.' " The scheme thus recommended by the Syndicate was intended to accomplish the object mentioned in the letter of her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department—viz., to secure the more general and effec tive representation of the several main elements which properly enter the composition of the University, and it has received the approbation of the University Commis sioners in the following terms. (Report, p. 15.) f" We cannot hesitate to express our pleasure to find such a proposiii emanating from the University itself. It has evidently been framed with careful deliberation, and with an especial view as well to preserve a balance of power among the several colleges as also to prevent the excitements and rivalries of a more popular and un: limited mode of appointment. The suggested scheme has received the unanimous approval of the Syndicate ; and we hope it may in due time receive the sanction of the Senate.' "A Grace was passed by the Senate Feb. 15, 1853, for the introduction of the above scheme into the pro posed- new body of statutes ; and the sanction of the Crown only is naw required to give the form of law to the amended constitution. " 11. UNIVERSITY EXTENSION. " The question of reducing the expenses of residence in the University within the narrowest limits, and • hereby extending the benefits of academical education to as large a number of students as possible, has long engage d the anxious attenti on o f the authorities of th e University and colleges ; and it is gratifying to find that the University Commissioners declare th e result of their ofWe have great satisf ac ti on in expressing inquiries upon th is sub j ect in the following t erms (Re port, p: 1 8 ) our opinion that - the expenses of the great majoritye the students are moderate. The fact reflects credit both on themselves and on th e authorities of t he University and the several colleges. By reference to the ev i dence, it will be seen that the necessary expense of residence is small, and that the actual expense .does not exceed a reasonable limit.' " The Syndicate believe that it is the .desire of the authorities of the University and of the several colleges to take adv&itage of every opportunity to reduce, as far as is practicable, the expenses of students. " The Syndicate have taken into consideration seve ral schemes' which have been proposed for altering the conditions of academical residence, with the view of di minishing the expenses of students ; but they are of opi nion that, while such schemes are in many respects more or less objectionable, they do not 'present equal advan tages in point of economy with the present system of re sidence in connexion with colleges .; and they wish to draw especial attention to the fact, that deserving stu dents, more particularly those of limited pecuniary means, derive greailidvantage3 and assistance from the colleges to which they belong, by the enjoyment of scholarships, sizarships;, exhibitions, and other contribu tion from collegiate endowments. "The Syndicate have considered in particular the scheme which has been propoied of allowing students to reside and graduate in the University without being connected with any college, and they are of opinion that that scheme cannot be adbptsd without seriously weaken , • ing the proper securities for discipline, and depriving the stedents who might be so admitted of much that is of great 'value in the' pi-esent be so admitted of much that is of great value in• the present system of acedemical • * The eT.ie of election referred to is that the Senate 41act- one, c.tf , two -persons nominated by the Vice. Chancellor and Heads of Colleges. _ --- dtieatiCirL They are further of opinion that, while the I want of proper securities for discipline in the case of such students would be the cause of &jury to those students themselves, the evil would extend necessarily, by the 'force of example and association, to other students ad. mitted as at present to reside in connexion with colleges. "The advantages of such connexion with colleges in , 'respect to discipline appear to the Syndicate to be justly described by the University Commissioners in.page 16 ' of their report. They remark that t h e moral disci pline of the University 'is in a very great measure sus tained by the internal system of the several colleges. The domestic constitution of a college contains in itself a combination of the most wholesome and bene ficial influences for this end. In the first place, all the; members of it are subject ' to a code of internal laws and rules framed for the maintenance of good order suggestions and recommendations of the Commissioners ;1 and they finally made a fourth report, dated Nov. 30, 1852, recommending such modifications of, or additions to, the proposed statutes as, after mature consideration, appeared to them desirable. ' Graces embodying the recommendations of the Syn dicate were offered to the Senate on three successive days in February, 1853; and it will be seen in the co pies of the Syndicate's Reports attached to these re marks what the several propositions are, which, having been approved by the Senate, may be considered, so far as depends on the University, to form part of its future power, though not necessarily so in knowledge, influ ence, or experience; is the Master. The Masters of the Several foundations collectively are called the "Heads" of their respective houses, and it is into the hands of these college officers, to the exclusion of every "main elemeht" in the University constituency, that the whole government of the. University has fallen. The choice of the Senate in the' election of the Vice-Chancellor and Council was confined to'certain restrictions, which gave to an upper class of electors the power of " nominating." Two persons were nominated for the Vice-Chancellorship, of whom the Senate selected one, and two " lists" were proposed of the Caput, from which that body was formed. Originally, the nomination for the Vice-Chancellorship was confided to the Doctors in the several faculties, and, as these graduates were in those days a consider able and independent body, there was some reason in the regulation. Gradually, however, the heads of col leges; who were mostly doctors themselves, eliminated the independent doctors from the nominating body, and confined this privilege to their own small class exclu sively. Having done this, they passed a rule of their own, deliberately providing that no person but one of their class should ever receive a nomination for the office in question. The consequence was, that the chief magistrate of the University ceased to be a representa tive officer, that the choice of the Senate was utterly nullified, and that this important appointment went in rotation through a small body of 17 individuals, who monopolised its advantages most completely. The University, Council was just as effectually de molished by the same process. Of the two " lists'! provided, one was given in by the Vice-Chancellor, and it soon became prescriptively the list adopted. The heads, therefore, after establishing the Vice-Chancellorship as a perpetual inheritance in their own class, nominated every single member of the Caput. This, however, was of no great importance, for as a single negative vote in the Caput could stop all legislation, and this the heads always possessed in the person of their own nominee who presided, it was of little consequence how the rest of,the Council were upplied. But the results did not stop here. The Heaillig, who every year appointed one of their own class to the Vice-Chancellorship, were by no means disposed to part with their own power for the interval. They claimed to be the Vice-Chancellor's "natural advisers," to be by him consulted on all occa sions ; and they thus substituted themselves as the acting " Council " of the University, monopolizing the initiative in all its business, and demeaning themselves as the true University representatives, to the utter de struction of the statutable Council, the members of which were left without any more connexion or communication with the Vice-Chancellor than the other members of the Senate. This system has now been pursued for so many generations that it would be unjust to attach any per sonal imputations to those who are at present carrying it out, but the reader will admit, we think, that a more perfect example of" political appropriation was never brought before him. Some of the deliberative business, of. the Senate is transacted by means of committees termed "Syndi cates," and the authority claimed for the conclu sions thus established is sometimes imposingly paraded. The point will illustrate very conveniently the manner in which the University constitution, as at present interpreted, is found to act. A Syndicate is "appointed by the Senate," but, as the whole proposition to "this effect must come from the Heads, they, in fad,_ possess in every committee the controlling voice of their own Vice-Chancellor, who is always made to preside,. as many places for themselves as they choose to take, and the nomination to all the places which remain. The Senate, it is true, can reject the proposal for appointment, but only at the cost of getting no Syndicate at all. It can also reject a report, but only at the cost of getting no report at all. As it is not a deliberative body, and as no amendment can be moved to any proposition, the class monopolizing the initiative in all proceedings can always reduce it to the alternative of taking their measures or none. After these explanations of the. University consti tution, the reader will not be unprepared to find that the University proposals for its amendment, though purporting to issue from the whole com munity, are somewhat defective in providing for this community's emancipation. They simply recommend the establishment of a new representative Council, according to regulations which we shall examine on another occasion. This, in point of fact, is nothing burarestoration of one department of the constitution-- that of the University Council—to something like its proper functions, nor would there, in reality, have been any great necessity even for this, if the existing Caput had been formed and elected as it still might have been, and treated by a representative Vice-Chancellor as his real and proper Council. We do not enter more par ticularly at present into the further bearings of the new proposal, but what every reader will at once discern is, that it deals with only one-half the abuse—viz., that concerning the Council, leaving that concerning the chief magistracy entirely unamended ; that it still pre serves the elements of unconstitutional monopoly, to conflict with the elements of self-government and free dom ; and that, when a true University Council has been once established on such important and compre hensive foundations as those now suggested, it will as nsuredly be both disposed and entitled to undertake a good many duties beyond those to which it is designed .o confine it. statute law. " A few matters which it is considered desirable to regulate by statutes are now under consideration by. the Syndicate of Privileges and the Syndicate of Studies, hereafter to be mentioned ; and when those syndicates have completed their labours, and the judgment of the Senate has been obtained respecting the propositions which may be submitted by them, the entire draught of a new code of statutes will be proposed to the Senate, and, if approved by that body, will be then finally sub mitted to the Crown for its sanction. and decorum' and moral and religious habits. Again, the Master and the Fellows, if they are true to their duty, stand in the relation of rulers, guardians, advisers, friends, and examples to the students. As some of the Fellows are but little removed from the students in - _ point of age, facilities for personal intimacies and friendly companionship between the two classes blend happily with the more grave and paternal authority which the senior members of the society exercise in their official functions. Again, the students exert no small or unim portant influence on each other. Though.sprung from " V. SYNDICATE FOR CONSIDERING THE STUDIES o➢' THE UNIVERSITY. " The general system of study in the University, in eluding as well the course of instruction in the - several branches of learning and science as the examination for 4egrees, forms a prominent subject in the Commis sioners' Report ; and the suggestions and recommenda tions made by them, are entitled to the utmost attention. " After much deliberation respecting the best way of bringing this subject under the consideration of the Uni versity, the Vice-Chancellor offered a Grace which was passed by the Senate, Feb. 2,• 1853, to appoint a Syndi cate to consider whether it is expedient to adopt any measures, and if so what, for augmenting the existing means of teaching the students of the University by public professors and public lecturers, and for regulating and encouraging the studies so taught ; and to report thereon to the Senate from time to time, until the end of the Eastern Term, 1853. _ _ _ _ _ different ranks, with different fortunes, different pros pects, yet, as members of the college, they. meet to a certain extent on a footing of equality. Living under the same domestic rule ; many of them lodged within the same walls ; all assembling in the same common dining hall ; associating in their course of study and in the routine of the their daily habits, they are naturally drawn to each other by attractions of mutual kindness. While particular individuals and snialler groups form for themselves their own closer intimacies and friend- ships, a general spirit of sympathy pervades the whole ; and there is one predominant feeling not to do anything that tends to bring discredit on the college, of falls below the tone of good manners and the standard of honour able conduct. In this way social sympathy becomes auxiliary to moral discipline and academical authority. The students are at an age when they cannot be subjected to the minute surveillance and rigid con- ' straint exercised in a school, and' when; on the other hand, they are not fit to be intrusted with Absolute liberty and independence in acting for, themselves. They are in a state of transition from the subjection of boy hood to the freedom of manhood ; and no system of dis cipline.can be properly suited to such a state, unless it contains in itself a mixture of constraint and liberty— so much constraint as may guard the inexperienced against the temptations of youth and the dangers of wasteful extravagance; so much liberty as may serve to develops the qualities of their moral character, and pre pare them'gradually for the weighter responsibilities and fuller freedom of after life.' _ " A Grace was subsequently passed, May 25, 1853, to continue the power of the Syndicate until the end o: Easter Term, 1854. " The points to be considered being so many and so important, and affecting (so materially the interests of the University and all the colleges, it was thought de• sirable to extend the composition of the Syndicate be yond the usual number of such a body. The Syndicate appointed thus consists of 39 members of the Senate, and comprehends two or more from every college, toge ther with the Regius Professor in each of the faculties of Divinity, Law, and Physic. " The Syndicate have been engaged in a course of long and regular sittings during three successive terms in the consideration of the questions submitted to them, but they have not yet made any report to the Senate. " VI. ADDITIONAL LECTURE Roo ms AND MUSEUMS SYNDICATE. " The opinion of the Commissioners upon the advan tages of residence in connexion with colleges is again expressed in similar terms, but at greater length and with the mention of details, under the head of ' College Discipline and Expenses,' in pp. 145-149. " With reference to the admission of the proposed class of students, the commissioners remark (Report, page 143) : • . '!' It has been contended that it would be desirable to modify this usage' (viz., that every student should be ad mitted a member of some college before he can become a matriculated member of the University), ' and to revert to the ancient practice so far as to allow of matriculated students of the University not attached to any college or hall. This question has received our careful considera tion, and we are of opinion that it would not be expedi ent to adopt any change of that nature in the present system of the University. It appears to us that one of the most striking and valuable characteristics of our English Universities is to be found in the domestic sys tem of their education, by which habits of order and moral control are most satisfactorily obtained. . . . The two systems of collegiate and unattached students seem to us to bo hardly compatible with one another ; at least we cannot doubt'that great difficulties would be ' experienced in blending them harmoniously together, if the class of students not affiliated to some collegiate ' body were recognized, and afterwards received any con siderable accession of numbers. We come, therefore, to the conclusion that the extension of the benefits of the University, so as to embrace a larger number of stu dents than at present exists, and more proportionate to the great increase of our population and national wealth, must be sought in a corresponding growth of our colle giate system, and in such improvements of the existing foundations as may render them more generally acces sible and more practically useful. It has long been the practice of the University to allow students belonging to the colleges to reside in lodgings in the town. By this' means great facility has been given for the accom modation of, an increased number of students, inasmuch as the power of colleges to accept admissions has thus been limited only by the extent of their halls and chapels and their own sense of what was due to a proper provi sion for the instruction and superintendence of the mem bers admitted.' " • "It appears , by a table printed in the Report of the Commissioners, p. 145, that on Nov. 14, 1851, while the number of undergraduate members of the University, whether actually residing or not, was 1,760, the number residing in lodgings was 736. " After describing the conditions under which students belonging to colleges are allowed to reside in lodgings in the town, and noticing the arguments which have been urged for and against the practice, the Commissioners remark (Report, page 144) :---' We should be unwilling to interfere materially with the liberty at present enjoyed by the colleges of admitting a greater number of students than they can accommodate within their walls. We think, however, that it would be very advantageous, if buildings were erected for the reception of students in immediate connexion with, .and under the direct control of, the collegiate bodies. For such affiliated halls we apifehend that no fresh powers are required.' "Upon the same subject, again, the Commissioners remark (Report, page 19) :—`The system itself'•• (of allc4ing students belonging to colleges reside in lodgings in the town) ' if carefully and vigilantly guarded, appears to be capable of securing, to a great extent, the substan tial benefit of collegiate superintendence, and at the same time affording free and ample facilities for the ad mission of any number of students desirous of the advan- tages of an University education. An opinion has been expressed in some quarters that it would be more con , ducive to the ends of discipline if, in connextiou with, and dependence on, the colleges, there were hostels or public buildings established for the reception of students under a system of closer inspection and stricter control than can be attained while they are dispersed in private lodgings throughout the town. There does not appear to be any impediment to the execution of such a design, if adequate funds can be provided for the purpose.'" " The Syndicate concur in these remarks of the Com missioners, and would observe that, in cases where col leges do not possess the means of building, the purpose of providing accommodation for a greater number of their students might be effected, if occasion required, by hiring houses in the town. "111. PROFESSORIAL AND OTHER UNIVERSITY FOUNDA TIONS. " The present state of the University with regard to museums, laboratories, and lecture rooms for the use of the professors, is described by the Commissioners in 1 pp. 115-124 of their report ; and they recommend measures : to be taken for obtaining a site erecting the necessary buildings. • " With a view of adopting some practical measures for the supply of urgent wants in this respect a Grace was passed by the Senate, Feb. 2, 1853, appointing a Syndicate to consider whether any and what steps should be taken for appropriating to the use of the Uni versity the site of the Old Botanic Garden, and to confer with the trustees of the Botanic Garden thereon ; also to consider whether any and what steps should be taken for erecting additional lecture-rooms and museums.' "The Syndicate made a report to the Senate March 7, 1853; on the first of the questions submitted to them, communicating an arrangement, to which the Governors of the Botanic Garden had expressed their willingness to consent, for appropriating the site of the Old Botanic Garden to the use of the University free from trusts and conditions,to which it was subject, and recommending that the necessary steps should be taken to procure by competent authority the confirmation of that arrange ' ment, and the appropriation of the ground. " The report was confirmed by the Senate March 11, 1853, and the Syndicate were authorised, in conjunction with tbe Governors of the Botanic Garden, to take the necessary steps for the above purpose. "A further report made by the Syndicate Oct. 25th, 1853, informed the Senate that upon application to the Court of Chancery an order had been made July 29, 1853, directing that the above-mentioned arrangement should be carried into effect, and that upon the comple tion of that arrangement the land and premises consti tuting the site of the Old Botanic Garden should be and continue vested in the Chancellor, Masters, and scholaris of the University, released and absolutely discharged of and from the trusts created with respect thereto. "The arrangement, involving the outlay of a large sum of money by the University, has been 'since com pleted, and an ample and eligible site has been thus obtained, applicable for the erection of the required buildings. " The Syndicate have recently, December 31, 1853, made a further report, containing detailed recommenda tions respecting the nature and construction of the pro posed buildings, and recommending the employment of an architect to prepare plans and an estimate`for the execution of the work. A copy of this report is attached to these remarks. Vll. SYNDICATE FOR CONSIDERING THE PRIVILEGES OF THE UNIVERSITY, AND ITS RELATIONS WITH THE TOWN. " The Commissioners, in their report, make mention of a memorial received by them from the mayor alder men, and burgesses of the borough of Cambridge con cerning certain privileges of the University which affect the relations between the University and the town. 'The Commissioners sent a copy of this memorial to the - Vice-chancellor, with an intimation that they were ready to receive any remarks which the authorities of the University might desire to make respecting it. As this memorial involved matters deeply affecting the dis cipline and good government of the University, the Vice- Chancellor offered a Grace which was passed by the Senate, March 26, 1852, appointing a Syadicate to take the memorial into consideration and to make such re marks thereon as they might deem fit for the purpose of their being transmitted to the Commissioners. The memo rial, as well as the remarks of the Syndicate thereon, have been printed by the Commissioners among the evi dence attached to their report. (Pp. 35-46.) " The Commissioners having considered the statements of the University and the town respectively, have made several important suggestions and recommendations (Report, p.p. 5-4) respecting the matters which aff e ct the relations between the two bodies. " With the view of submitting these suggestions to the consideration and judgment of the University a Grace was passed October 29, 1852, appointing the same Syndicate to consider generally the - privileges of the University. "The Syndicate proceeded to consider carefully and in detail the several suggestions and recommendations of the Commissioners, but they have not yet made any report to the Senate, in consequence of a proposal made, by the council of the borough for a conference between committees of the two bodies, " A Grace was passed by the Senate, February 2, 1853, giving the requisite powers to the Syndicate ; and the Council of the Borough having also named a com mittee for the purpose, several conferences have been held, with the view of making arrangements for the adjustment of the relations between the University and the town, which arrangements, if satisfactory to the two bodies, may be finally confirmed by a special act of Par liament.

"The Syndicate have directed their attention to the remarks made by the University Commissioners respect ing those provisions of the foundation deeds of some pro fessorships and lectureships with the lapse of time and altered circumstances have rendered inapplicable to the present state of things and' highly inexpedient, if not im possible, to be observed ; and they are of opinion that in all such cases the spirit of the founders' intentions would be more effectually complied with, if a careful revision were made of the statutes and regulations framed to govern the foundations, with reference to present and future wants and means of usefulness. The same re mark may be applied to some of the University scholar ships and other endowments. " It is believed that in some of the cases referred to an act of the Legislature would be required to enable the University, in conjunction with the trustees or other per sons interested to make the desired alterations ; and even in cases where the authority of her Majesty's courts of equity would be sufficient, a great advantage would be gained, if an opportunity were given of accomplishing by, less expensive and more expeditious means an object involving the consideration of a multiplicity of details. "The Syndicate are encouraged by- the letter of her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department to express their desire that the aid of Parliament should be given to the University for this purpose; and they beg leave to submit that the object in view might be accom plished in a satisfactory manner if enabling powers, to be exercised for a limited term, were given by an act of the Legislature to a board of persons, who should desire the confidence of the University and of the country in the execution of a work requiring the greatest care and prudence, and an intimate acquaintance as well with the wants and duties of the University as with its constitu tion and government. In suggesting this mode of pro ceeding, the Syndicate are mainly influenced by a desire to avoid the evil of repeated and minute interference by Parliament of the University. " They venture further to suggest, that it should be the duty of the board to receive and consider all schemes proposed to it jointly by the Senate and the trustees or' other persons interested in any University foundati ons, respectingthe application of the property or, the regulations framed to govern such foundations ; and that it should have the be to the spirit of the p a c l i t w en er tio a n d s h o e f rin t g he as fo m un ue d h er as s, traoay ra tify and establish such schemes subject to the sanction of t he Q ueen in Council. "It is fully believed, that, if such au authority were created, both the University itself, and the persons in trusted with the charge and management of university foundations, would willingly avail themselves of the aid so afforded to give to those foundations the most useful and efficient form which they are capable of receiving. IV. SYNDICATE FOR REVISING THE STATUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY. "The,Syndicate appointed to revise the Statutes of the University, beside the proposal abovementioned for a new council of legislation, made reports to the Senate, dated Dec. 10, 1851, and March 23, 1852, respectively, in which they recommended that graces should be of fered to the Senate for the introduction into the pro posed new body of statutes of various laws and regula tions effecting important alterations in the existing law and practice of the University. And having revised the whole body of statutes, with reference to existing and authorised practice, they also printed and circulated in the Senate a draught of the statutes representing the form they would bear, if all the proposed alterations were adopted. " The - University Commis sioners, in many passages of their report, express their a pp roval of th e proposi tions submitted by the Syndicate to the Senate.

FALSE DATES IN WATERMARKS OF PAPERS.—LateIy, in cutting up some paper for photographic purposes, I found in one and the same quire two sheets without any mark, two of the date 1851, nine bearing the date 1853, and the remaining eleven were 1854. I can imagine a case might occur in which the authenticity of a docu ment might be much questioned were it dated 1853. 'when the paper would be presumed not to have been made until a year afterwards. I think this is worth making a note of, not only by lawyers, but those in terested in historical documents. —From Notes and Queries.

On 'three out of the five points sub mitted, conclusions are excusably delayed, but the first and most important point of the academical constitu tion receives particular notice. Of this constitution and of the real questions involved in its amendment, it is now time to give the public some idea. The University of Cambridge is incorporated under the title of " the Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars" of the said University. The Chancellor is an elective officer of exalted rank, but whose duties are performed by deputy ; the Scholars, as being in statu pupillari, have no share in the government, but the " Masters," under which term is included all complete graduates in any faculty who keep their names on the College boards, meet for business in an assembly called the Senate. The Senate is divided into two Houses, one composed of members above five years' standing, and, the other of members below that mark. Legislation is carried on by propositions termed "graces," which are laid before the Senate, and on which the two. Houses decide, sepa rately, by a majority of votes, so that one House serves as a check upon the other. The Senate, however, is not a deliberative body ; it can only say "Yes" or "No" to the actual propositions brought before it. For the purposes of government, the University sta tutes provide a vice-chancellor, being the chancellor's deputy, who is the chief magistrate of the community, and a council, styled in its Latin designation, the " Ca put." The Vice-Chancellor and the Caput are elected annually for one year's service, the latter being com posed of five representative members, one from each of the three faculties of divinity, law, and physic, and gine from each of the two houses in the Senate. Every grace or motion before being introduced to the Senate must be first considered in the Caput or Council. and must pass it without a dissentient vote—the Vice-Chan cellor being President of the Council ex o f ficio. The general reader will probably be not a little perplexed to understand what features of this constitution can have excited so much dissatisfaction, or provoked such a de cided condemnation as the Ministerial rescript conveyed. Undoubtedly the framework is narrow compared with the expansion of the University, but the " main ele ments" of the community do ,pertainly, with one excep tion, appear to obtain "effective representation," and the system in itself is exactly that which has been ap proved in all similar cases by the experience of centuries. IVe have only to change the scholastic names of " Vice- Chancellor" and " Caput" into the more familiar "Mayor" and " C ounc il," an d we get precisely the e les of go vernment which every corporation requires. What, then, are the circumstances which, to the great, satisfaction of the University, have extorted from Ministers so direct and imperative a demand for reform in this one particular ? The answer can be very clearly given. The University includes 17 endowed foundatifms termed " Colleges" or "Halls." These foundations are administered respectively by bodies of their own officers, and the first of these officers in poSition and statutable FROM THE G FOREIGN-OFFICE, JAN. 14.

Millers and dealers this morning seemed to be more of curious lookers-on as to the effect of the large supplies upon our trade, than active operators. The business done f was at Friday's full decline, of 3d to 4d per bushel on 0" wheat, and is to is 6d per barrel on flour. Indian corn - is per qr. lower, but there was no change in the value of any other article. IPSWICH—JAN. 17. The supply of wheat was larger than we have noticed for many weeks, and as the millers are afraid to buy any ; more than they can weekly consume, now that the price is so extremely high, a heaviness prevailed, and sales were made with fully 2s and 3s per qr. abatement upon last week's prices. Although the supply of barley was nothing to that at our last market, the trade was very heavy, and a reduction of 3s per qr. was experienced. Beans and peas nominal as under. PER QUARTER.
