...lectures on archaeology that Dr. Charles Waldstein is delivering at Columbia College are, like all his utterances, not mere resumes of the researches, discoveries and opinions of other scholars, but the result of his own special studies and "finds." The first one, given under the auspices of the Alumni Association of Columbia, on the evening of Jan. 11, was on "The Influence of Athletic Games upon Greek Art." A number of large drawings were used by the lecturer to demonstrate his theory. The Association invited painters, sculptors, writers, and others to attend, and the crowded audience was thoroughly interested throughout...

This of course places our nine on a much better footing than it was on last year, but still we shall be at a disadvantage for a year or two to come or at least until...
...refitted at comparatively small expense in such a way as to provide pleasant quarters to a great number of men. It is but a few years since the building was altered to its present condition owing to doubts as to the strength of its walls, and as a result it stands empty and useless for weeks at a time. Now it seems as if the old hall could be again made useful by building interior partition walls of brick so as to strengthen and bind the structure together; and by dividing it off into suites of rooms like those...
