I looked up the twitter account for Trinity Church (@TrinityWallSt) so I can send them links to George’s diary entries that concern Trinity. I saw that one of their tweets from Friday starts out, “How Can Queerness Inform Church Activism?”. Poor George would not know what to make of that at all.
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.
