...with the methods of Harvard, and, as rapidly, making active use of this knowledge. Within recent years Columbia started on the enlightened road of liberal ideas, following the policy which Harvard has so long endeavored to maintain; their last move is in a worthy direction. Some recognition of the vast amount of work done by college instructors is altogether proper. A professor's life is not a life of ease, as business men delight to describe it-it is a life of hard work,- year after year, and these men deserve more gratitude than they have ever received.

The building itself is all than can be desired, everything that a complete knowledge of the wants of an athletic team can propose has been put into it, and it is a model of its kind. When it was finished it was accepted, we understand, in the regular prescribed way by the corporation, but, strange to say, all authority over thecontrol of the building seems to have gone to the winds. It is impossible to find...
