Natural science faculty, school of pvire science, for mathematics and 

 natural science. 



Technical faculty, school of applied science, for mining- and metal- 

 lurjj-y, chemistry, engineering, architecture," 



Here, therefore, we have a technical high school combined with the 

 university. The tendency to spread out in this direction has recently 

 developed more or less among our German universities. Columbia 

 College is not strictly separated from Columbia Universit}'. Under- 

 graduates — that is, students of the college — ma}^ take certain courses 

 of the university. 



Two other institutions are closely connected with Columbia, namely, 

 Barnard College and Teachers' College.* Both are near by, separated 

 only by the width of a street, but on their own ground. Barnard 

 College is intended for women, and corresponds to Columbia College 

 for men. Teachers' College is a seminary for male and female teachers 

 on a university basis. Barnard College was founded and endowed in 

 1889 ])y former President Barnard of Columbia. It is an independent 

 corporation, but the courses of instruction and examination are pre- 

 scribed by Columbia, and Columbia professors lecture in the institu- 

 tion besides others appointed by Columbia. Students of Barnard Col- 

 lege maj^ also attend certain advanced lectures in the university and 

 take university degrees. Teachers' College was founded in 1888 and 

 united with the university in 1898. Certain lectures may also be 

 attended by Columbia students. These two colleges, therefore, form 

 part of the universit}', have the university president as president of 

 each, but are financially quite independent. Their budgets are not 

 included in the figures given above. ^ Their students, however, are 

 included in the foregoing estimate. Barnard College has 317 students, 

 and Teachers' College 365, besides 750 whose relations to the establish- 

 ments are not so intimate, while their professors also lecture outside 

 of the colleges. The university itself had in 1899-1900 2,456 students, 

 of whom 460 were undergraduates, 1,996 graduate students, and 3<» 

 nongraduates, making a grand total of 3,888. 



Columbia is less intimately connected with the Union Theological 

 Seminary on Sixty-ninth street, about 3 miles distant; with the 

 American Museum of Natural History, where, among others, the 

 laboratories for anthropolog\^ and paleontology are located, with the 

 Metropolitan Museum of Art, both in Central Park, about 2 miles 

 distant, and with the New York Botanical Gardens in Bronx Park, 

 about 5 miles from the university buildings, where also the her-
