I think you are using an old version of PostgreSQL. AFAIR this
functionality was implemented on 7.3. Here is mine:

*******************************************
postgres(at)[local]:test=# SELECT version();
version
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 7.3.4 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.2.2
20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)
(1 row)

postgres(at)[local]:test=# ALTER TABLE institution drop column name;
ALTER TABLE

*******************************************

Maybe you should upgrade your PostgreSQL.
