The Government intends to abolish the right of autonomy at present enjoyed by the Universities and to appoint a Government Commissioner to each University who will be responsible for the maintenance of order, according to a report current here to-day, if the Rectors are unable to put a stop to the student disturbances inside the University buildings.

More effective Government control over the Universities is felt to be essential, it is said, to counter the immense National Democratic influence among the students and in the University Senates.
