THE CAP AND GOWN. 1868. Prospectus issued on April 27, 1868. In
troductory number had the date of June, 1868. First volume com
menced October, 1868. " All politics , college as well as national, "
were excluded from the opening numbers. The terms were $ 2.50 per
annum, 10 numbers, afterwards reduced to $ 2.00 . Each number con
sisted of at least eight pages , size , 9½ x 12 in. In November, 1873, rep
resentatives from the School of Mines were admitted to the posts of
editors, and the name changed from THE CAP AND GOWN to ACTA
COLUMBIANA to satisfy the following condition : " That the name
of the paper be changed, so that it shall not be a name which shall be
long peculiarly to the Academical School or to the School of Mines."
The number of pages was raised to twelve and the size diminished to
7 x II in. A tinted cover was put on, October, 1875 , the name run
ning diagonally across the same , and the paper was made the
present size , 8 x 10% ½ in . , and the pages varied in number from six
teen to twenty-four as the occasion demanded. In October, 1876, the

SONGS OF COLUMBIA, May 1876. During the college year 1875-76 the
Acta agitated the subject of a Columbia Song Book, and finally an
nounced that the editors had undertaken the task of producing a
book which would shortly be issued. In May, 1876, the SONGS OF
COLUMBIA appeared, and was a most creditable publication , typo
graphically as well as otherwise . It was handsomely bound in blue
cloth with silver stamping, and contained all of the familiar Columbia
airs, with several new songs. By the end of the next college year the
entire edition was disposed of. The book was published by the
Board of Editors of Acta Columbiana, and was edited by John B. Pine,
'77, then Managing Editor of the Acta.

THE MINER . The Class of Seventy- Nine , School of Mines, in its junior
year decided that there were enough reasons to warrant the publication of
ayear book similar to the COLUMBIAD, which would represent more fully
the Scientific Department. So in the Spring of 1878 the MINER NO. I
appeared. It contained lists of the members of all the Societies and Or
ganizations connected with the School of Mines, records of the Ath
letic achievements of the University and grinds on members of the
editing (junior) class.

THE WEEK. On April 29th, 1879, a four-page paper edited by the famous
" Richard Roe and John Doe, " appeared on the college grounds with
the promise of appearing weekly, provided sufficient cash inducements
were offered. Apparently these were not satisfactory, as but one
number appeared . The title assumed was THE WEEK, and the editors
adopted the pronoun " I " in their editorials, after the style of Labou

BURIAL OF THE ANCIENT .
The Class of '66, at the close of their sophomore year, desiring to show
in an emphatic way their delight in leaving behind them the study of
Ancient Geography, then a part of the sophomore Curriculum , resolved
to publicly bury their detested foe . The services were simple, yet very
pathetic, consisting of a funeral procession up Fifth avenue to the College
green, where an oration and elegy were delivered , followed by an adjourn
ment to a neighboring beer saloon , where friends of the rejoicing sopho
mores were convivially entertained . Succeeding classes deemed the
precedent an excellent one, and have more or less enlarged on the original
idea . Sixty -seven had the honor of really burying Ancient Geography, but
deliverance from Bojesen's Grecian Antiquities has proved an equal source
of joy. Two of the classes, namely, '69 and '70, were sufficiently wealthy to
purchase an ancient urn for the ashes of their foe. Seventy-one and Seventy
three decided not to have a Burial. Seventy-four varied from former
classes by having a " Burial of Animosities " between themselves and the
freshman ('75) class. In place of the customary epidɛinvov, or beer-drink
ing, the two classes headed by a strolling German Band marched to Del
monico's for a "love feast." Seventy-five, however, returned to the old
custom. Eighty-one most effectually buried Bojesen , being the last class
tormented by that study. Eighty-two was, therefore, compelled to choose
a new study and buried an Anglo- Saxon reader. Eighty-three held a
Roman Triumph over their conquered foe, " Legendre. " In the following
lists the dates refer to the class and not to the year.

COLUMBIA COLLEGE
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
IN the Cap and Gown of January 20th , 1869, there appears an interesting
letter from Cambridge University, England, written by George L. Rives,
'68, in which he advocates the formation of an athletic association at Col
umbia. A previous issue of the Cap and Gown contains a call for a meeting to
organize such an association -David B. Ogden,'69 , having agreed to preside.
The result of these efforts was the formation of the Athletic Association of
Columbia College, on March 10th, 1869. To encourage athletic sports the
Trustees generously made an annual appropriation of Two Hundred Dol
lars. The first field meeting was held Wednesday, June 2d, 1869 , on the
Capitoline Grounds, Brooklyn ; no records being kept , however, of times,
distances, or heights . On May 15th , 1874 , aquatic sports were held under
the auspices of the Association . In the autumn of 1878 it was decided to
make the fall sports consist mainly of handicap events , a decision followed
by succeeding officers. In the spring of 1881 class games were given ,
open to members of the sophomore and freshman classes .

INTER-COLLEGIATE
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
Columbia Winners.
It was not until 1873 that Columbia could really boast of a genuine
COLUMBIA COLLEGE BOAT CLUB. Previous to 1860 a Boat Club existed,
but a writer in the University Quarterly that year ( 1860) states that the
main object of the club was to obtain initiation fees and dues from fresh
men . The interest in boating was subject to fits and starts, and boat
houses were rented occasionally for the use of clubs. The boating enthus
iasm, that extended so widely among the colleges in 1873, reached Columbia,
and a crew was sent to Springfield that year. While they did not win, a
very creditable record was made . The next year at Saratoga the Columbia
crew were victorious . This so stirred up the students that with the very
substantial aid from the Trustees a Boat House was erected at a cost of
ten thousand dollars and completed in April , 1876. Of this ten thousand
dollars the Trustees gave six thousand , and made for its maintenance an
annual appropriation of twelve hundred and fifty dollars , accompanying
their gifts with the condition that the Boat House and the expenditure of
the appropriation should be under their direction . The varied successes
and defeats are given below; but it is to the credit of the College that
Columbia crews have never been disqualified nor ever won a race on a
foul . In addition to the boating record and list of boat club officers is
given the summaries of the various boat club regattas. The first College
regatta was given , however, under the auspices of the Athletic Association
on May 15th , 1874.
