Famous quotes containing the words british and/or columbia:

    Gorgonised me from head to foot,
    With a stony British stare.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    The young women, what can they not learn, what can they not achieve, with Columbia University annex thrown open to them? In this great outlook for women’s broader intellectual development I see the great sunburst of the future.
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
