New York City, Feb. 18, 1903.
Dear Nebroskan: Columbia Univer
sity Is situated on MornlngBldo
Heights, several miles from the con
gested portions of the city, and close
to the Hudson. The grounds are no
larger than the campus of tho Uni
versity of Nebraska, and the necessary
crowding of buildings detracts from
the impresslveness of tho University.
The library building 1b excellent from
the point of view of architecture, and
several of tho other buildings are very
good. But thore Is one unsightly struc
ture, a relic of the Insane asylum which
occupied this place before Columbia
took posse88lon,whlch mare the beauty
of the campus. Before many years,
however, it Is likely to bo torn down.
A number of Improvements are con
templated. In his report last fall,
President Butler mentioned tho need of
sufficient funds to finish University
hall (whlcb has been begun), to build
a law school building, to buy a few
acres of land across the street, at the
rate of about five hundred thousand
dollars an acre, and to pay off the
university debt. He estimated tho
needs of the university at about ten
million dollars, and rumor has it that
the money has been promised.
OO
A university with as great resources
as this one has offers many advan
tages In Instruction and equipment We
find it very convenient, for Instance,
to have bo good a library that we can
work up almost any subject with a
fair degree of completeness. There
are between three and four hundred
thousand volumes In the Columbia
library, and large numbers of books
are bought every year. If a student
needB to refer to a book which 1b not
In the library, the authorities get It for
him whenever they can. In this library
free accesB to stack rooms cannot be
had without permission from the libra
rian. But graduate students In his
tory, political economy, sociology, etc.,
are allowed to work In a large seminar
room containing a hundred thousand
volumes, and they may take books
from the shelves and keep them on the
tables as long as they please. Students
of philosophy and pure science have
similar privileges In another somlnar
room. I understand that tho equip
ment of the science department 1b also
very good.
OO
Tho undergraduate department Is
much weaker than I expected to find
it Out of about four thousand stu
dents registered this year, only five
hundred are undergraduates in, Colum
bia College. Thore are five hundred
graduate students In the political
Bclences, philosophy and pure science;
five hundred students of law; eight
hundred in the school of medicine, and
seven hundred In applied science. Bar
nard College, which is for girls alone,
and Teachers' College, which Is co
educational, have about a thousand
students. Some of the professors think
that It wduld be good to lop off Colum
bia College altogether, and make Co
lumbia University a graduate and pro
fessional school exclusively.
OO
One of the mpst striking character
istics of Columbia la lta lock of college
spirit Thfs is due partly to tho sniall
ness of the undergraduate college, but
Lchlefiy to the bigness of the cjty. There
are .too many things of interest out
side of the university. There seems
to be-some enthusiasm, however, for
inter-cQllegllfto basket all games an1
gymnastic contests, but tholr popular
ity may bo duo In part to tho dances
which always follow them. Tho equip
ment of the gymnasium is very good.
Tho gymnasium is fairly large, and
thero is a big dressing ropm with a
plethora of lockers. Thero are alBO
shower baths and a good swimming
pool. Private lessons In fencing and
boxing aro given at moderate rates.
Undorgraduates aro required to take
certain courses fn the gymnasium.
OO
I cannot say from exporienco what
the character of tho work done by
Columbia undergraduates is. I have
heard that It averages very well when
compared with the work In western
universities. Some of the men do no
work at all, while others work very
hard. Regular attendance at class Is
required. Four unexcused absences
result In a condition which can bo
romoved only by extra worn, an extra
examination, or both.
OO
It seems that the Btudonts aro al
lowed Borne liberties which are tabooed
in the University of Nebraska. Last
summer when I read a notice In tho
halls of the library that "Smoking 18
not allowed above tho ground floor,"
I was surprised at tho permission Im
plied. Thero Is a great deal of smok
ing on the ground floor, and between
classes many cigarettes aro consumed
on tho fourth as well. The evening
I attended a meeting of King's Crown,
a literary society which holds forth
In University hall, and nearly every
body there smoked during the buslnes3
meeting and lecture, and at tho end
of the program they used up a keg of
beer.
OO
Columbia University is an excellent
place for graduate work and for pro
fessional Btudles, but I cannot see that
It has any great advantage over a west
ern university for undergraduate work.
Of course it Is an advantage for stu
dents to have within reach a largo
number of books; but that is not es
sential for undergraduates. Tho spe
cialists hero, too, generally lecture only
to seniors and graduates. Lower
classes aro under tho tutelage of In
structors, who are only waiting for the
tlmo when they can devote all their
attention to more advanced students.
So, oven leaving out of account tho
high tuition fees and tho great coot
of living in New York as compared
with student's oxponBcs in a city like
Lincoln, I should consider a western
university fully as good a placo for un
dergraduate work as 1b Columbia Col
logo. H. T. J0HN80N, '00.

boiler house) under the conditions of
hand firing and natural draft, in order
to determine tho efficiency of tho boiler

Tho Palladian Literary society will
