312 Golleqe Lair and OrJr. [March 16O.] Gollege Law and Order. 313Among the faults of the law makers of most of our colleges, thefollowing may be reckoned. They have constructed their systemson a method purely empirical. Cases of disorder occur, and a law ismade to prevent its repetition, and the question never seems to arisewhether or no this disorder was caused by some law already existing,which is often the case. Thus it is. on a system purely empirical,without any ruling principle, regulations are enacted to meet individual case, until a vast system is erected totally inconsistent with thecharacter of those governed, and possessing in itself the most ridiculous incongruities, and to this mass of inconsistency regulation afterregulation is added until the law of a college becomes as vast andintricate as that of a State, and rears itself a lasting monument tothe folly of the legislators.l3ut the worst part of this abuse is, that it cannot be correctedwithout a radical reform, and most of our colleges have not yet beenfortunate enough to meet with men of sufficient energy and industryto undertake the reformation of their laws from the foundation.Look at the ikcts of the ease, and see if it is customary for visitors, trustees, &c., when they sit down to make college enactments,to pay any attention to the characters of those to be governed. Arethe laws founded on principles evolved from an observation of thosecharacters? Far from it. If they were, what a commentary wouldsome of these systems he on the amount of brains which the legislators had the pleasure of carrying about them ? If they did regafdthese principles all will agree that the laws would be better and better obeyed.

What a curse the regulations of some colleges are on the institution Each succeeding generation looks on them as the result of thewisdom of the preceding, Tlu the system will he handed down, asit has been to this remote age, and stands yet a barrier to all reforniation. But civilization is beginning to demand that these relics of abarbarous age should be wiped from her escutcheon. This reformation in college government would be easy if the way to it did not layover the ruins of the d system, around whieh old fugies rally withall the courage of desair. I am no advocate for the blood andthunder innovations of young America, and yet 1 (10 advocate areform, for which reason has cried so long.The mere fact that the laws of our institutions have failed to accompish their purpose, and that students with gentlemanly instinctsand gentlemanly culture are in daily violation of them, would seem

sufficient to arouse the legislators from their lethargy, and to convincethem that their method of government is radically wrong. But hasit dore so? The wrecked remains of college buildings, the brokendown cows, the heating of tin pans, the rushing to and fro of mvteri’jus marked spirits, the prolonged and deep shouts which piercethe superior vault and with reverberatiug re-echo, rushing ruthlesslyround, run riotously right into the ravaged ears of the professors, thecalathumps of the session in all their orgeastic effect, and manyother such things, have all individually screeched reform in the earsof visitors, trustees, and such cattle, from time immemorial. Yeamore, they have united their voices, and with most marked and mixedmelody have rolled up to the canopy and the visitors a shout for reform, not a parlor whimper, but a regular cainpinecting bawl. Tbehills theniscives catch the spirit of reform and echo back the shout,and yet the visitors, who from all accounts are beings of softer c nsistency and greater inconsistency than the hills, remain unmovedOh, breath, breathe on these bones!

We will now consider sonic of the principles on which collegelaws should be founded, an’l to wInch they should look for obedience.1st. As to the tone in which these enactments ought to he setforth. Tn sonic institutions, and I am happy to say it is not tlir’ casein this institution, the laws are issued with as much pomp and formas a proclamation to an empire as large as that of the Cmars. Perhaps these regulations have been passed by a set of (Tisappointcd candidates for the Legislature, who, having ensconced themselves intrustees’ chairs, are determined to rule something. To say the leastof it, tins’ tone should he avoided to prevent the enactments fromappearing a ridiculous farce. The laws to be preserved should notbe made to appear ridiculous to the students. This tone, far frominspiring respect, which is the only seeming object, will excite theresistance of every student who has an atom of pride, and hence it isa positive source of evil. In addition to this, that is a simple andsickly dignity which ha no way of inspiring respect except by thepompous tone in which it delivers itself.

In the next place, it is no unusual thing to see Trustees, Visitors,and professors, who pride themselves on their ability to rule students,and are confident of their power to wipe out all insubordination onthe part of the student. If they can do this by wholesomeregulations all honor for their pride, but if they carry it so far asto put unnecessary retraint on the students siniplv for the pleasure

of it, the pride of the students will Jo aroused to prover t this pleasure.

316 (Wiege Law and Order. [March 1860.] College Law and Order. 317best judge of the manner in which the time should be allotted,We are not surprised that colleges with such regulations as these, failentirely in their discipline.

Another thing is of very material importance. If there are anylaws which bind the professors or officers to the students, and thestudent to the offleets, and the officers fail to perform their part asrequired by the regulation, the student, just as in every other contract, is liberated from his part. For example, no one can blamea student as much for failing to attend the recitations of a professor,who is negligent iii attending to his duty, as for refusing to attendthe recitations of one who is conscientious in his attendance. Wewill take another example from this institution. A student here isbound to the boarding-house keepers by several regslations, forevery violation of which they are strictly reported ; and the hoarding-house keeper is bound to the student by a much larger number,not one of which is enforced. Is not this unjust? I Itnow it issaid that it is in the power of the student to report them, but whatstudent has the time to be hunting up evidence and reporting boarding-house keepers? Moreover, if a student is reported, the penaltyis dismissal, whereas no practical result follows from reporting aboarding-house keeper, probably a reprimand, which is equivalent toan interchange of compliments between the Chairman and the boarding_house keeper, and next day the beef is as tough as ever.

Look, fhr example, at the following enactment, and yet the boarding-house keepers, mean as the fare is, are seldom reported :—“ Thekeepers of hotels shall not furnish luxurious fare to their boarders,(martyrs to the cause of tough beef and weak coffee, what solemnmockery ) hut the fare shall be plentiful, plain, of good andwholesome viands, neatly served.” (Martyrs to the ominous sound,

no more of that dish,” to food as plain as dirt, to good and wholesome viands in the shape of tough beef served up on the semi-dirtstyle, hew ridiculous! ! I !) If there was a law which relieved the

“ student from obligation, when the hotel keeper failed in his duty, allparties would perform their duty better. Such a regulation wouldbe one allowing the student to change his boarding-house, if the hotel keeper violated his part of the contract.

In conclusion, the number of students attending an institution depends mostly on the standard of scholarship, and this is intimatelyconnected with the discipline. Few instances can be furnished wherethe standard of scholarship has been raised while rows were preva

lent. We must wait until the professors have time to extnd theircourse, and the scholarship of the student will lear it. And if thetime of the one be spent in enforcing disciplinary r’gulations, andthat of the other in resisting the laws, little opportunity will he afforded for raising the standard. Thus all the vital interests of aninstitution depend on the system of discipline. how the majority ofthe systems have continued so long at variance with the dictates ofcommon sense, is truly a subject of amazement.

In view of these facts, we would ask, in’wliat nobler work can aman engage than in a crusade against such a system of laws? Oh,for SOme Peter the hermit, who with lips not iiernuim”a17,’f sealed,might muster the world in one grand calathump, where the plowsand swords would he boat ism’o tin pans and then Ic heat as tin pans.until reform would ring in every professor’s and visitor’s ears withthe concentrated force of the cannons of a million WTat erloos

And then, to prevent our vain arid avaricious souls from grasping at god—like iinnsor—tality, nirlv not evil spirits ho rub wed to caress our tiny forms, shapeour feeble characters in matters which pertain to the unknown future,which receives us as we make our final leap in the dark ? It appearsalmost plausible ! Yet there are intances, rare though they be, inwhich a discerning wisdom saw in the shapeless, unsullied soul of infancy the germ of virtue, innocence an] humility, which in manhoodbore fruit corresponding to the seed from which it sprung. OurAmcri”an artist, Yest, was almost such an one ; this quaker painter,whose long life was spent in true devotion to his art, unmarked byany of those dark spots which so sadly blemish the characters of manyof his brotherhood. The peculiarities of these men are to he noticed.and their tenacity in holding to them in preference to fame and fortune. The class is large and we may choose our subjects at random,being cautious only to compare those whose course was similar, andfor this purpose, lot us first inspect the lives of two men—the one apoet, the other a painter—both undoubtedly men of geniu, and, sorrowful to tell, both erratic and so consistent in their opposition to thedictates of reason, that we may truly exclaim that, ‘‘ having eves,they saw not, and having ears, they heard not.” George Morland.the English prtintor, and our own lamented Poe, present a parallelin their lives so striking, that had they both lived two centuries ago,they had surely been born snider the same star. ‘!orlrsnd came of arace of painters, and indications of hi,s power were exhibited at anearly age. At four, live and six years of age, lie drew sketchesworthy the inspection of the ‘‘ ocicty of Artists,” which was not slnto bestow praise upon tins inflict artist. accompanied, unfortunately,with such substantial evidence of their admiration iii the shape ofgold, as injured his father to urge him on. His progress was rapid,but soon his body and mini gave e ilenco of over—work. 11 is flit herstimulated him by praise, indulged his palate, and to insure the performance of allotted tasks, confined him in a garret, thus doing hisson a double injury, enfeebling los body and depriving bins of educational advantages. At (lie age of sixteen, Ins fame was spread farand wide, and although his proluctiosis were far inferior to those of

his manhood, yet engravers found it prohtab to copy them. But

even before this time, Morland had began to form those habits which

were to clog and darken his life. At ten yearS of age, a slave in his

father’s house, the merry scho°l°Y din without penetratdtl his cc

elusie I garrct anl he panted to be free ; and yet lie was without hope

of enjoy lug boyish sports in a legitimate manner. OplreSsion keeps

the selinol of cunning. Morland resolved to share the profits of his

talents, ruin] also to snatch, clandoStt0Y, an hour or two for amuse

ment. When he had made three drawings for his father, he made

one secretly for himself, and giving a signal from isis window, low

ered it by a string to we or two knowing boys, who easily sold it at

a reduced price, and s1snt the money with the young artist. A corn-

molt tap-rootli was an indifferettt school for manners and morals,

whiat’Ver it may have been for painting. A young and talented ar

tist carousing with ostlers and pot-boyS singing songs and eagerly

i1uirih1g low vulgariSU15 is truly a lamentah.hle picture. His father

disessvf’rCd his ruse, and apparentlY more from a love of gain than pa

rental love, changed his course in regard to tin’ young lOan. To

nialce his studies as pleasant as poì11 he was indulge1 at table and

dressed gaily. Yet the earnings of his pencil were poured into the

father’s po’ket. Morlaud’s eager spirit pined for freedom lie de

sired lila rty, and to enjoy the fruits of his labors. Nor was he long

in obtaining what he so earnestlY desired, for isis father, in a fit of anger,

OSiO day said to his sofl, ‘I ant determitled to encourage your idleness

no longer. There, take that guinea, apply to your art and support

yourself.” And he did support himself, for his reputation being

wide, he was soon overwlIelmdl with co,uTuiSSiohms, but while at work

Painting and I’oetry.

West, born under sacred and peculiar auspiceS. marched onward in

his profession of painting with an evenness of mind, freedom from

jealousies and morality of life, which was wonderful for an artist

of his day and fortunes. lie was the very opposite of Morland, of

happy temper. sedate sobriety of sentiment, and a happy propriety

of manner, which resulted from his early devout education. liberal to

a fault. Yet this good man must have his whim, and the broad.

brimmed hat crowned an amount of vanity and presumption which

the plain manners, childlike expression. and benevolent face con

cealed from the world, until his spirit was expressed upon canvas.

His long and laborious life produced many works, the mere list of

which causes us to shudder at human presumption. Inspircd by early

success. he won his way to Fame too easily. his vanity led him to

suppose himself competent to execute whatever his presuIiIPtiOfl de

signed. and blind to his fault, yet lie followed it, titus creating for

himself many failures. The young artist, taking his first lessons in

painting from a tribe of wild Mohawk Indians, is a lesson to be

membered. The man of fame, pursuing his profession wit)’ solemn

earnestness, treading the streets of London with sober step and quiet

mein, must have been an edifying sight to the ruffling gallants, who,

with painting for a profession and gallantry for an occiIpftl0). showed

their proficiencY rather in compliments and fencing. than in the hand

ling of the palette and brush; and finally, the artist, whose life was

one of peace and virtue, sobriety and henevolettee, laying aside the

earthly crown of fading laurels, receiving, in its steal, the crown of

a well_spent life, is a subject worthy of more than mere cursory Con

templatiot’.To detract from one’s own merit, if a fault, is pardonabl0 and we
