Dedication at Columbia.

One of the most notable events in the history of Columbia University will be the dedication on Saturday of the new college site on Morningside Heights, New York City. Over 3000 invitations have been sent out, and among those who have accepted and will be present are many noted men. The morning celebration will be of a private nature, only the trustees, the faculty and the alumni having been invited. At 11.30 a. m. the trustees, faculty and graduates will form a procession and march to the Physics Building, where the first dedicatory service will take place, Rev. Dr. Vincent officiating. Dr. Rood, head of the department of physics, will lay the corner stone, and Dean Amringe will deliver the address. Then the corner stone of Schermerhorn Hall will be laid by W. C. Schermerhorn, chairman of the Board of Trustees. Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix will officiate at the dedication and Professor Henry O. DaCosta will deliver the address.

After luncheon, the trustees, faculty, alumni, students, and invited guests will proceed to the south court, where seats will be reserved for them. Prayer will be offered at 3 o'clock by the Rev. E. B. Coe, and an address will be made by President Low. Then will come the presentation of a set of the national colors by Lafayette Post, G. A. R., which will be accepted by President Low. Addresses will then be delivered by ex-Mayor Abram S. Hewitt and President Eliot. Bishop Potter will pronounce the benediction.
