BY James r. Murphy

Five months have elapsed since the
auction sale of the Washington
Heights holdings of the James Gordon
Bennett estate, which opened the 1919
auction market. Prior to June 10. the
day of the sale, the future of the auc-
ton market was problematical. Own
ers of large tracts specialized on how
to dispose of their holdings and
whether or not the present was the
psychological time to offer them at
Wholesale, in the auction mart. or to
dispose of them at retail, through
private treaty.
The auction room was crowded with
mixed gathering when the first lot

sale showed that, with few notable ex-
ceptlons, this class did not purchase.

The third class represented was the

either to improve the property or to
resell it at a profit.

Purchase by Columbia University of
the campus, the eleven-story apart
lnent house at 80 and d Claremont
Avenue, intimated in The Tribune of
Friday, was verified last night by the
announcement of Frederick A. Goethe.
The campus is the fourth apartment
house acquired in the last ten days by
Columbia, the others being Janus
Court. 1O6 Morningsidc Drive and
Eton and Rugby Halls, at 1896 Clare
mont Avenue. The apartment houses
on Claremont Avenue are located OPP
posite Students Hall, Barnard, and
will be used as residence halls by
women students. Janus Court was pur-
chased by Teachers College.
BY the purchase of the Claremont
Avenue houses the housing space of
the university will be increased by $50
rooms, accommodating 1888 persons.
Janus Court will add 353 rooms to the
capacity of Teachers College, which
also bought the Bancroft Apartments
earlier in the summer.
Details of the universities building
program, involving millions of dollars.
were made public yesterday in state
ment by President Nicholas Murray
Butler. Dr. Butler described the sit
uation as particularly serious. and said
that it demands "a vigorous and coura-
geous handling of the residence hall
problem.
Cheaper Construction Not Expected
After pointing out that there had
been no new buildings erected at Co.
iumbia since 1913, when Furnald Hall
was completed, the statement blamed
the high cost Of building material and
labor or the postponement of the
building program.
9TH best opinion is that there is
no lence that this cost is likely tc
decii. in the near future" said the
staten ent, "and the situation must be
raced with all its difficulties. 1t is
plain that unless the work of the uni.
versity is to be thrown into confu.

to provide new buildings both for AGA
