Here are some more activities to keep Mom and Dad busy because Bwog loves you and your parents and because Bwog has secret tour guide aspirations....

Wallach Art Gallery

Columbia has its own mini-museum in Schermerhorn! Who knew? The Wallach Gallery's classy digs will undoubtedly impress your parents. Maybe you'll even impress them with your Art Hum skills. Except the gallery is currently exhibiting Delight in Design: Indian Silver for the Raj, which doesn't fall into the masterpieces of Western Art category. But it's free and that's always a crowd pleaser.

Inwood Park

If you're going to the Baker Field for the football game, be sure to pass through Inwood Park on your way back. Located just beyond the stadium, Inwood Park is a lovely copse-filled plot of land on the very tip of Manhattan island. The northern edge of the park offers views of both the Hudson and Harlem Rivers and makes a great place for a picnic. For additional fun, try to spot the Columbia boathouse and the big 'C' rock.




Whether you plan on going to the Big Game or not, Bwog recommends taking advantage of the pre-homecoming breakfast taking place in the EC 2nd floor lounge this morning at 11:00.

It's free! School spirit not required.


Recapitulation of this weekend's football success by CML:

Thousands of fans from both Columbia and Cornell converged upon Baker Field today, each to witness firsthand the contest that would determine the best Ivy League football team in New York — and whether Columbia, after two years, would finally notch a conference win. The sun shone high above the somewhat seedy tenements that comprise the stadium's environs, and the trees in Inwood Hill Park had turned pretty shades of green, orange, and red. The tranquil weather and natural beauty were to be the perfect ironic contrast to the slaughter that was about to occur, or so I thought.

What ensued was a series of incredible events, each more improbable than the last. First, the Lions didn't fumble the kickoff. Next, they made a first down. Then they made another one, and yet another, sprinkling a few effective running plays amongst much improved passing game. The drive — certainly the offense's best all season — culminated in a one-yard touchdown run. A few minutes later, the Cornell quarterback threw an interception, which the defense returned for a touchdown. And just like that, the Lions were up 14-0.
