[Continued from December 3 (reply #8).]

December 8. Trustees of Columbia College met yesterday. That board is fast sinking back into its normal condition of chronic coma, stupor, and lethargy, after a brief period of unnatural liveliness, produced by stimulants. Another Gibbs controversy must be got up, or the College will doze off for another hundred years. . . .

Lamentable to relate, moreover, the faculty contemplate Peck’s appointment as instructor in drawing, so Jack Ehninger’s game is up. Probably he is ill-qualified for a large (if not the larger) portion of the course proposed, which is mathematical and industrial rather than aesthetic.
