...enthusiasm. Guided by the philosophy that "we have to act, not react," Evans has worked to prepare his richly forested state for the inevitable day when it moves "from a scattered open society to an urban society." Surrounded by a profusion of lakes and mountains, the Governor has the foresight to proclaim: "We have not suffered the silt and smoke of overindustrialization?yet.

The great irony of Columbia's agony is that it all could have been avoided if the university trustees had only demonstrated a little bit more foresight back in the 1890s. The Morningside Heights area was then mainly countryside and, in moving Columbia from its old mid-Manhattan campus, they could have bought all the acreage they needed at giveaway prices...
