FROM time to time certain disturbances take place in Cambridge, of which the authors are probably students; and last week an unusual violation of private property occurred in the abstraction of a skeleton from the Natural History Museum. Whether the Faculty have taken any steps to discover the guilty parties is not known, but one thing is sure. Whatever steps the governing body might take against the thoughtless perpetrators of this boyish mischief would be sure to be unpopular among the great body of the students. Harsh measures, as has been well shown on various occasions, only stir up ill-feeling between the ruling and the ruled. At the same time, wanton destruction of property is in fact condemned by the public opinion of the majority of the undergraduates; and if certain notions of etiquette did not seal the lips of many, this public opinion would be so generally expressed that the persons whose animal spirits find a vent in these periodical disturbances would discover that their proceedings are generally considered rather foolish than heroic. And if they recognized this fact, it is highly probable that they would soon choose some more thoughtful and less injurious method of amusing themselves and their friends.
