Reihe: Columbiana

Marking Columbia University's 250th anniversary, this is the definitive history of one of America's oldest and most redoubtable urban institutions in the country's largest, most culturally diverse city. This comprehensive history of Columbia University extends from the prefounding discussions about New York City being "a fit Place for a colledge" in 1704 to the recent inauguration of Lee Bollinger as president.
