Gln the 'iiilitnra nf thv Qlnlnmhiam E hear from time to time voices on the Campus bewailing vdmafci- v the lack of a Columbia spirit. But is it non-existent? x ln reference to your undertaking, two things may be C, noted. There is the fact that year after year the COLUM- ULAN appears in its elaborate form, finding men enthu- siastic in the difficult task of producing it: and there is also the fact that the publication of so costly an annual j i-1 ' is warranted by the sales. This means the presence of a strong and en- during spirit from which such a work proceeds and to which it can make confident appeal. But there is a characteristic Columbia spirit of wider scope and of such elusive form that it may escape the notice of the man on the Campus. Situated as our University is in the great metropolis of the VVestern Viforld, it is inevitable that its spirit cannot be that of the College in a small town which the College men seem to themselves to own, nor that of a University in some lesser city, which the University domin.ates. Columbia is after all, however great it is, or may become, but one element in a vast and mighty life. From that immense and varied social life, in which it is well nigh submerged, it draws its own peculiar inspiration, takes on a quality of men- tal attitude, which the Faculty and student body of no other institution can acquire. There ought thus to be with us a more many-sided attitude, a larger grasp on life, a better adjustment of the elements of life to each other, a better sense of proportion, because of the manifold life that en- velops us. This inevitable bro.ader type of -mind, in which the student tends to become something other than a mere college man, may come to be recog- nized as the characteristic Columbia spirit. To gain this, pilgrims will be seen coming from afar, seeking a thing at once so unusual and invaluable, and to be acquired better here than elsewhere.
