ing value; but the site which viii be
dedicated next month and the new
buildings which are planned to rise
thereon will cost from S5,o00,00Q 10
$7,ooo,ooo without trenching upon the
endowment in any way. Indeed, the
general funds of the college are expect
ed to double even while the fair walls of
the new white city of learning on the
brown rocl-ribbed hills are rising.
President Low has shown how this
may be done, and other wealthy citi-
zens have taken the hint Besides the
Schermerhorn building already provid-
ed for, the closer association of the
medical school of Columbia has brought
to it $500, 900 from the vanderbilts and
Sloans, and the erection of the Sloan
Maternity hospital, which is practical
ly an appendage of Columbia univer-
sity.
If any wealthy citizen of New York
wishes to build q gymnasium or an aca-
demic theater, or school or q chapel
or dining hall, or anything of that
kind, at cost Of from 5000, 1000 to $3,-
0O0, 900, he is quite ut liberty to do so.
Meanwhile the funds of the college will
be used strictly for its educational pur-
poses-and in providing for instruc-
ton Columbia deals with instructors
with no niggardly hand. Realizing the
cost of living in great city and in such

lumbia.
The students have caught the fire of
emulation, and have arranged to build
at the foot of One Hundred and Fif-
teenth street, quite near the site, one of
the finest boat houses in the country;
and with the athletic alumni they are
expected to provide funds for the gym
nasium which can be erected at cost of
100000.
Columbia's curriculum was long ar
range on the old line of compulsory
Greek, Latin and mathematics. In the
new Columbia the utmost liberty of
choice Of subject will be given to the
student, and every facility will be af-
forded for advanced study by men and
women of mature age. The degree of
bachelor Of arts can hereafter be gained
there by any student who is such an
iconoclast as to believe that modern lam
guages are as valuable to him as Greek;
but he can get the Greek If he wants It,
and all he wants.
The new Columbia and the new Chi
cago university, two great urban centers
of culture, will be worth watching for
the next few years.

1t is upon this theory that Columbia

OF its generous endowments, was one
OF the second classinstitutions OF learn

mass of buildings which seem from this
distance almost without break of green
spaces and airy arcades. Just in the
middle of the splendid pile rises from
the lofty white wall pure round dome.
1t is the dome of the library of Columbia
college, q building capable of holding
100000 volumes, second only to the
congressional library in Washington,
and as big as two of the famed Bodleian
at Oxford, containing besides many of

This is pen picture, not of the CO.

Greater Columbia university as it will
be five years from now, if the brave and
hopeful planso of its friends and trustees
are carried out. For the present the

style as bef1ts the man of culture and
professors are perhaps the highest in
the country.
Columbia is not worrying at all about
money, but is going straight ahead with
the confidence that now as in the past
whatever is needed will be provided.
In the development. of the Greater
Columbia, President Low and the trus-
tees first obtained the finest site in the
city of New York, IS undivided acres,
high on the breezy rocky hill ten miles
from the trade center of the city. Here
a space twice as big as Madison Square
has been bought. Columbia has a pull
with the legislature, and has secured an
act forever guarding this site from
being cut up by streets passing through
it. The buildings are to be laid out
ip formal way beftting the classic 1c-
pose of their architecture, the library in
! the middle with it's white dome domi.
mating the group, the various schools
and halls arranged about it, the acad,
e1nic theater in the rear.
About one-half of the site will ulti.
mately be covered with buildings, the
remainder left in broad, well-shaped
spaces between them. For the present
the magnificent groves of oaks and
chestnuts, perhaps the finest in the city
viii be preserved. The larger build
ings, except the library, will generally
be built about grassy quadrangles as
sunny and quiet as those of Oxford it
self.
