...opposition down and weary the alumni into indifference and subsequent forgetfulness, but we think they under-estimate the strength of their opposition. No college, and especially such a college, remote from the great centres, crippled in finances, troubled by internal discord, decreasing in class attendance, suffering from the keen competition of wealthy sister colleges, can afford to alienate any considerable body of her alumni and friends, from whom alone aid must come to replenish her treasury and to keep up her numbers; and yet, if we are not mistaken, the present policy in retaining President Bartlett is gradually bringing...

The work is destined to exert a large influence...

Columbia College in 2000 is no doubt a very readable article to those who can appreciate all its grinds. A Climb and Its Results is flat, and not by any means up to the writer's usual standard...
