New Workers Find GoIoshes
Too Much for Checkrooms

the Museum of the City of New
York to signalize the induction of
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower as pres
ident of Columbia University. It
gives colorful review of the history
of the institution from the start as
Kings College with an enrolment
of five boys to present times with
an enrolment of 81 900 with myriad
branches of learning.
On display is the old lottery sub
scription book of 1748; the charter
granted in 1854 and identified as
the property of John Day, and the
Hebrew psalter held by the uni.
versity's first president, Samuel
Johnson. Other treasured antiqui-
ties include the original seal of
Columbia made in 1916: a Latin
exercise book of John Curtis, WASH
ington's stepson, and the famous
black book" listing the misdemean-
ors of Kings College students and
the punishments prescribed.
Legends confirmed by bronze
plaques connect Manhattan's points
of historical interest with the lives
of Washington and Lincoln in this
their natal month. There is No. 3
Cherry street, where Gen. and Mrs.
Washington lived when he was
first President. The Sub-treasury
building dedicated on February ~,
1843, stands on the site of Federal
Hall where Washington was admin
istered the oath of Office as the new
republics first President.
Viewed Troops From Balcony.
Lincoln visited New York City,
but never lived here as Washing
ton did. Lincoln's first visit was to
deliver a political address at Cooper
Union, February 27, 1860. From the
balcony of Conte's Restaurant on
Lafayette street just south of Wan-
amaker's, Lincoln is said to have
reviewed the Union troops. 1t was
on a visit to mission school for
underprivileged children he deliv-
cred his now-famous homily to
youth: Make it rule Of life to do
the best you can. No one can blame
you if you do that
Today, on Broadway, in front of a
Scribner's window display of Lin
colniana passersby stand in the cold
to read portions of the Gettysburg
address from the beautiful edition
with designs by James Daugherty
Other volumes attracting attention
are Genevieve Fosters Abraham
Lincoln's World" and Barton j.
Hendricks "Lincoln's War Cab
met"
In the Metropolitan Museum ex-
hibition, From Casablanca to Cal
cutta," which displays splendors OF
dress and fabrics derived from many
countries by 81 manufacturers, 1t
was amusing to hear this from a
group Of schoolgirls: "Why Is 1t
teachers cannot be as much fun
and as interesting in school as they
are out?"
Holding its own with out-of- town
visitors is the American Wing
Here one revels in the treasure OF
the Colonial period. I was fascinat-
ed anew by the room whose panels
were brought from "Marmion" in
King George County, Va, and which
are said to be the handiwork Of a
Hessian who stayed on in the land
to which he had been brought as
paid soldier of fortune.
