THE BowpoIN CHARTER.-Bro. Tenney of
the Brunswick Telegraph wakes exceeding
wroth over the unpleasant state of things aris
ing from the provisions of the Bowdoin Col
lege charter, which deprive the Board of
Overseers of any original jurisdiction in the
affairs of the college and make the Trustees
virtually absolute and the whole thing "a close
communion" He concludes that according to
the decision in the celebrated Dartmouth Col
lege case the charter is not amendable, and that
joint jurisdiction cannot be given to the Over
seers and Trustees, in conformity to modern
IDEAS or academic government. Our own
opinion is that the decision referred to does
not preclude an amendment to the charter of
the nature demanded in this case, since il
would not seem to come within the purview of
the clause of the constitution that forbids
States to pass laws impairing the obligation of
contracts.
