...fortunate that attendance at Commons for any portion of the undergraduate body has not been compulsory. The food question is entirely too important to rest in the hands of a caterer who is sure of every man for every meal. Our eating joint, like the poor, we have always with us. If the meals are not satisfactory the collective disposition of the undergraduates is bound to develop raw edges. Under the plan for next year, however, the food must be good or Commons will be peopled by cooks and walters only. In other words it must be appetizing. --Yale News
Next year's enrolment at Morningside Heights will probably approach close to 30,000.

Nevertheless as a social force the University does obviously operate through these supplementary activities. Furthermore, if Columbia counts its auxiliary student membership by the thousand, it is also an institutes which today confers about 850 Master of Art degrees.

...present plan calls for the erection of stables on an unused portion of Soldiers Field sometime within the next few months, probably during the summer vacation. Provision will be made for all the horses of the unit, and for the materiel, trucks, and other equipment. Space for equitation will also be provided. A bridle path near the proposed site furnishes a place for students to ride, while on mounted passes. It is probable that the enlisted detachment will also be quartered near the stables...
...question would be far more worthy of serious discussion if its presentation at this time were not so obviously part of the wide-spread "red" scare which still grips no small portion of our population. We are paying too much attention to the "red" menace as it is; to put through such a bill at this time would make us the laughing stock of all sensible people...
