INCORPORATED, 1900. 435 Madison Avenue, New York City TWENTY-FIRST YEAR WILL BEGIN ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1900... The new buildings and equipment upon the old Columbia College site comprises: 1. A perfectly appointed fire-proof building, built and arranged for exactly two hundred boys-the limit of the school. 2. An assembly-room or chapel upon the main floor for daily morning exercises. 3. An armory and gymnasium without posts, measuring 80 by 6 feet, half of the roof being of glass. The gymnasium is equippe with the newest hygienic appliances. 4. A swimming-pool, measuring 30 by 15 in a room measuring 50 by 21, with steam baths, showers, and dressing-rooms; the same upon the main floor, lighted and ventilated from the roof. A physical and chemical laboratory generously equipped with the latest appliances. 6. Manual training-room for carpenter work, Venetian iron work, wood-carving, modeling, and burnt-leather work. 7. A large room for mechanical and free-hand drawing. 8. A room of the same size for elocution and debate. 9. An elaborate system of enforced ventilation, with two 15-horsepower motors-one driving the fresh warm air into the rooms and the other drawing the vitiated air from them. This is not a boarding school, but twelve boarders are received into the families of four of the teachers, where they have the best personal care and excellent table. Three hundred boys have been prepared for Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Princeton during the twenty years of the school, and their uniform success upon the college entrance examinations is due to the care and selection of teachers of the highest grade and the fact that no class is allowed to exceed the limit of twelve boys. The school has the military drill and a systematic course in gymnastics. Places in the school can be secured several years in advance, and parents desiring to enter their sons for the 21st year are advised to make early application to J. CLARK READ, A. M., Registrar.
