this; but it has its advantages.

There is a handsome library attached to the College, which the young
men can use; but it is not as extensive as I had expected. The
University is not well off for funds by which to increase it. The
new museum in the College is also a handsome building. The edifices
used for the undergraduates' chambers and for the lecture-rooms are
by no means handsome. They are very ugly red-brick houses standing
here and there without order. There are seven such, and they are
called Brattle House, College House, Divinity Hall, Hollis Hall,
Holsworthy Hall, Massachusetts Hall, and Stoughton Hall. It is almost
astonishing that buildings so ugly should have been erected for such
a purpose. These, together with the library, the museum, and the
chapel, stand on a large green, which might be made pretty enough if
it were kept well mown like the gardens of our Cambridge colleges;
but it is much neglected. Here, again, the want of funds--the res
angusta domi--must be pleaded as an excuse. On the same green, but at
some little distance from any other building, stands the President's
pleasant house.

The immediate direction of the College is of course mainly in
the hands of the President, who is supreme. But for the general
management of the Institution there is a Corporation, of which he is
one. It is stated in the laws of the University that the Corporation
of the University and its Overseers constitute the Government of the
University. The Corporation consists of the President, five Fellows,
so called, and a Treasurer. These Fellows are chosen, as vacancies
occur, by themselves, subject to the concurrence of the Overseers.
But these Fellows are in nowise like to the Fellows of our colleges,
having no salaries attached to their offices. The Board of Overseers
consists of the State Governor, other State officers, the President
and Treasurer of Harvard College, and thirty other persons,--men of
note, chosen by vote. The Faculty of the College, in which is vested
the immediate care and government of the undergraduates, is

 spirituous liquors may be used, & c. It is not a picturesque system, 
 this; but it take its advantage. 

 There is a handsome library attached to the College, which the youthful 
 men can use; but it is not equally extensive as I had expected. The 
 University is not well off for funds by which to increase it. The 
 fresh museum in the College is also a handsome construction. The edifices 
 used for the undergraduate' chambers and for the lecture - rooms are 
 by no means handsome. They are very ugly red - brick houses stand 
 here and there without order. There are seven such, and they are 
 called Brattle House, College House, Divinity Hall, Hollis Hall, 
 Holsworthy Hall, Massachusetts Hall, and Stoughton Hall. It is about 
 astonishing that buildings thus ugly should have been erected for such 
 a function. These, together with the library, the museum, and the 
 chapel, stand on a large green, which might be make pretty enough if 
 it were kept well mown like the gardens of our Cambridge colleges; 
 but it is a lot neglect. Here, again, the want of funds -- the res 
 angusta domi -- must be pleaded as an excuse. On the same green, but at 
 some little distance from any other construction, stands the President's 
 pleasant house. 

 The contiguous steering of the College is of class mainly in 
 the hands of the President, who is sovereign. But for the general 
 management of the Institution there constitute a Corporation, of which he is 
 one. It is stated in the laws of the University that the Corporation 
 of the University and its Overseers establish the Government of the 
 University. The Corporation consists of the President, five Fellows, 
 so called, and a Treasurer. These Fellows are chosen, as void

 But these Fellows are in nowise like to the Fellows of our colleges,

 consists of the State Governor, other State officers, the President 
 and Treasurer of Harvard College, and thirty other persons,--men of
