Original Work at Harvard.

The agitation in England regarding the
endowment OF research as distinguished
from the purely academic function Of in
struction, has scarcely extended to this
country, and most of our college professors
are too much occupied with tutorial duties
to pursue original Investigations. Much
more is done in the latter way, however,
than Is supposed especially in our oldest
and richest institutions. How large an
amount of work the Harvard Professors,
for example, contrive to accomplish outside
OF the class room has lately been pointed out
in the Popular Science Monthly by Mr.. j. r.
w. HITCHCOCK, who visited Cambridge with
view of measuring the productive activity
OF the university.
Theoretically, the scope and aim of uni
versities are educational, not philosophical:
that is to say, their Office, in the eyes Of
their founders, is not to encourage the cre-
alton OF new knowledge, but simply TO pro-
mote the transmission and assimilation OF
existing stores. AS matter Of fact how
ever, the dignity and influence of partcu-
lar institutions have been proportioned less
to their efficiency in instruction than to
their reputation for original achievements
in the domain of thought. Throughout the
Middle Ages indeed, it was the presence OF
this OF that great master OF theological or
metaphysical speculation which forthwith
attracted q concOurse OF students, and con-
ferrred transient preeminence ON Paris,
Bologna, Oxford, or Wittenberg This had
come to be SO well understood when the
University OF Leyden was established,
toward the close of the sixteenth century,
that the foremost thinkers and writer's OF
Europe were tempted thither by the prom
ise, not only OF handsome stipend,
but OF relative immunity from aca-
demic drudgery. So, too, the fellow
ships OF Oxford and Cambridge, though
too often wasted, as n Parliamentary COM
mission has conclusively shown, were yet
turned now and then, even under the old
system to fruitful account. What, for in
stance. in their practical outcome, were Dr.
WHEwELL's headshlp of Trinity, Cambridge,
and MAX MULLER's fellowship at All Souls,
Oxford, but endowments of research? AS
to the German universities, we have lately
had occasion to note the loud complaints
now made that at the rival institutions the
business of instruction is more and more neg
lected for the work of independent inquiry
ny WHICH pIoIcsSoT SechS 10 make IhmSel1
name. Thus we see that there has always
been tendency to diverge from the strictly
educational intent of universities and TO ac-
cept Mills definition OF the capital end for
which an endowed academy ought TO exist
viz, to keep alive philosophy Mills idea
was that each professor should be allowed
one year In three for original research, but
perhaps the same object might be gained by
80 largely increasing the tutorial corps a.

school Of agriculture known as the Bus
sey Institution" the labors of the Profess
sors are said to have always been more in
the line Of research than OF instruction, and
among the important papers lately pub
lished by them may be mentioned discus
sions Of The Potato Rot" OF the Black
Knot" in plum and cherry trees, a compari-
son Of the various folders, and OF the rela-
tive merits OF different fertilizers. We may
note finally that the staff OF specialists at
the Museum Of Comparative Zoology is
almost entirely occupied in the classifica-
tion and arrangement Of different collec-
tions and the publication of tho results OF
their researches.
1t must be manifest, we think, oven from
hasty and partial glimpse Of the observa-
tions made by Mr.. HITCHCOCK, that the
amount of original work performed at Har-
ward is not only very considerable, but that,
in view Of the conditions under which much
of it is done, 1t must be pronounced extreme
ly creditable. No better argument could be
furnished for the adequate endowment of
research at given university than such
demonstration that strenuous and fruitful
labors are undertaken from disinterested
love of knowledge amid tho harassing and
exhausting tolls OF professional routine.

How Will the Election Go ?-What II
All DeDends On.

The Republican plan Of conducting the
campaign is now fully developed. The
whole stress of the contest is placed upon
the issues Of the civil war. Gen. GARFIELD
himself sums it all up in a sentence. "All we
mean to do" he says, sis to stand sacred
guard by the truths for which we fought"
The result OF the election, it seems to us,
depends wholly upon the extent to which
the Republican speakers and writer's can
make the people believe that the safety Of
the principles established by the war re-
quires the continuance of the Republican
party In power. II they can make this
generally believed, Gen. GARFIELD, in spite
OF his spotted personal record, will be
elected.
large number OF business men, who
have been accustomed to voting the Repub-
lican ticket, are Of opinion that the Re-
publicans have been continuously in power
long enough. and would like to vote for
HANCOCK; but they will not vote for him IL
they think he will open the way to the
Treasury for rebel war claims.
In this respect Mr.. TILDEN through his
bold and decisive letter on the subject, was
very strong. But for that letter we think
he would not have been elected.

Hancock TO sherman.

Gen. HANCoCK's letter to Gen. SHERMAN
Is very timely and very valuable docu-
ment. 1t sets at rest forever all questions
OF Gen. HANCoCK's civil acumen, and it puts
to open shame the reckless partisans who,
unable to deny the power and the value OF
the orders and l0tters promulgated by him
in Louisiana, attributed their authorship to
some one else. But there is no such refuge
for his detractors in this case. The SRER-
MAN letter was manifestly thrown off in the
freedom and ease of confidential private
correspondence, and 1t is all the more in
teresting and important because it is COM
plete but unstudied transcript Of his mind
At the time 1t was written.
The views concerning the relations OF the
civil and military authorities in times of
public peril and disturbance, which he lays
down aud Celebrates with running pen in
mere private discussion, would do no dis
credit to the most learned publicist. With
steady hand he draws the delicate lines OF
distinction; and his statements Of legal and
constitutional principles are as clear as
the clearest judicial deiyeranCe. 1t Is a
great misfortune that the two letters OF
Gen. SHERMAN to which this is the reply
we're not published along with it. 1t would
be interesting to compare the opinions of
these officers OF the highest rank and dis
tinction in the service, upon questions OF
such vital moment TO the peace, order, and
liberties OF the country.
Gen. HANCOCK did not approve the mill
tary proceedings OF Gen. RUGER In South
Carolina, where, it will be remembered, an
army officer was stationed at the doors OF
tho Capitol to pass upon the credentials OF
members of the Legislature. and otherwise

1t can hardly be claimed, even by his most
admiring friends, that Capt. THOMAS f.
RILEY, late OF the Twenty-iirst Infantry, Is
the kind of officer of whom there are too few
in the service.
short time since Capt RILEY was tried
by court martial at Vancouver Barracks.
The charges were five in number, and
ranged from drunkenness on duty to mutt
ny. The evidence showed, according to the
findings Of the court, that while on guard
duty as officer Of the day, at Fort Klamath,
Oregon, Capt. RILEY "did become so drunk
as to be unable to perform his duty, and so
violent as to necessitate his confinement
under guard" and further. that he did,
while in that condition, "yell, roll, and wal
low, and did swear, cry, and give forth, in
an exceedingly loud tone of voice, profane
insulting, and vulgar utterances, in the
presence Of enlisted men and officers, to the
scandal and disgrace of the service" This
performance was about half an hour before
midnight OF the first of February, 1880.
Drunkenness on duty was not the only
offence that Capt. RILEY was guilty OF ON
that memorable night. The court found him
guilty OF these specifications also:
In this: That he did repeatedly apply abusive and
opprobrious epithets to his commanding officer Capt
STEPHEN q. wnPPLK First Cavalry and did also say re-
peatedly. You are only Captain, - you, same as
am, and you can't put me In arrest nor no other
cavalry - or words to that effect
In this: That he did. while In custody OF his
manding officer, Capt STEPHEN G. wniPrLl First Cava
ry who was assisted by Lieut. J. W. DUNCAN Twenty.
nrst Infantry. Post Adutant call loud tone OF
voice, Men OF , Company, my company come to the
rescue Of your Captain. We whip the cavalry
- repeating the same in similar words and
phrases many times attempting thereby to cause his
company to nutny and release him his lawful
todans, and by his yes causing many OF the enlisted
men to turn out Of their beds"
Finally, 1t appeared on the trial that Capt
RILEY had pledged his honor as an officer
and gentleman. by written promise, to tho
department commander, "to abstain from
the use OF all spirituous. vine or malt
liquors." unless prescribed as medicine by
physician, and that he "did, In violation OF
said pledge, become drunk" to the scandal
and disgrace OF the service
The sentence of the court was that Capt
RILEY should be dismissed from the service
of the United States, and dismissed he was
Considering the penalties visited upon en-
listed men for drunkenness while ON guard
duty for disrespect to superior officers, and
for attempts to excite mutiny, the sentence
OF Capt. RILEY will hardly be considered too
severe. We hear much OF strenuous efforts
worthy officers; no doubt such efforts have
been and are still put forth; but the service
