HARLEM AND THE BRONX.

    A movement has been started among the graduates and friends of Columbia University, West Harlem, to erect on Amsterdam avenue, at the entrance to the university grounds, a memorial to the Columbia men who gave their lives for their country in the late war. The plan is to erect a gate typifying war and victory, and to dedicate it to the memory of Sergeant Hamilton Fish, jr., First United States Volunteer Cavalry; Dr. John Blair Gibbs of the Marine Corps, and George W. Lindhelm, M. D., volunteer surgeon. The committee intrusted with the collection of the $10,000 necessary is composed of Valentine Mott, M. D.; George G. DeWitt, Beverly Robinson, Leonidas M. Lawson, John H. Prentice, Alfred Cooley, H. E. Pierrepont, jr., and D. W. Wyncoop, M. D.
