/. The Alumni Of Columbia College held a
meeting yesterday to review the report of
Committee appointed to confer with the
Trustees with reference to the recent elec.
ton of Q Professor Of chemistry, and also
to make arrangements for celebrating the
one hundreth anniversary of the founding
OF the College. The Trustees have acted,
IL seems, rather cavalierly towards the Com
mittee, declining TO have.sa any conference
with them aud declining the centennial cele-
brtion inexpedient. The Committee re-
commended, and il was resolved by the AL.
nmni, to make vigorous efforts to procure
such change in the charter Of the COL
lege as will make the Trustees elective by
the Alumni. 1t is hoped that some ener-,
gy and activity may thus be infused into
them, and th..t the concentrated old fog,
eyism which has SO long hovered over tn.
institution may be finally dispeIled. With
the vast resources Of the college, which
when it shall have converted its present
valuable grounds inio building lots and
moved into the upper part of the city will
not tall short of 100000 u year, il ought
to stand at the head of educational insti-
tutions in this country. This the Alumni
feel and they are deslrous OF doing all in
their power TO prevent the present fine
prospects of their alma mater from being
sacrificed to the old fashioned notions and
narrow-minded prejudicss Of those who
now control it.
