TIE HOY. EDWARD EVERETT.

Mr. Warrior. II gives us great pleasur,
to know that the press generally throughout
the country, has very favorably noticed the
installation Of this gentleman, as President Of
Harvard University, hiass,--sll agree that
more iudicious appointment could not have
been made. and many have expressed The be-
lief. that the young men Of our land, who
enjoy. or may enjoy, the privilege OF sitting
under hisinsiructions. will be peculiarly quail

guide the young student, while in college how
10 prepare hinselt 10 meet its buffciings and
pass successfully through ia ordinary scencs
OF success OF adversity;--this can be said OF
bat few OF the teachers Of our popular insti,u-
lions. IL Is truth almost generally admitted
that our colleges turn out but few truly ed
pceted young men. Now this is the fault OF
their instructors. They are either unaualif-
cd, or If qualified, they neglect 10 discharge
their duty.
We know that IL Is not expected that our
young men should finish their education al
these institutions. but we expect, that they
should come forth with their diplomas having
acquired the shility TO educate themselves and
70 fit themselves for their appropriate stations
IN society. The college should be the place
where the social and moral as well as intellec-
tunl bring should receive cultivation. Butt.
