=Columbia University=, on Morningside Heights, has a fine outlook,
crowning a noble site worthy of the old college, whose sons have been
to the fore since the days of the Revolution in promoting the glory

"Morningside," which extends from 116th to 120th Streets, "The

are held in it every Sunday. Near at hand will be seen the beautiful
dome of St. Luke's Hospital.

Harrison in 1892 and dedicated April 27, 1897, on the seventy-fifth
