Columbia Alumni Meetings.

A meeting of the Columbia Alumni was held recently at the Hotel Brunswick in New York City. Among the guests was Edmund Wetmore, president of the Harvard Alumni Association, who spoke on behalf of Harvard. He was followed by Chauncey M. Depew, Yale, '56, who spoke for Yale. Among other things he said: "Yale is always first in war, and as Harvard is always second, I suppose she is first in peace. But Columbia is always first in the hearts of our college countrymen, for she always cheers impartially and then attends the banquets of the winner. Columbia exactly fills the gap as no other does; no man with brains stays in Boston or Philadelphia that's the reason the cream of the colleges comes to New York."
