About Columbia University
Columbia University is a private Ivy League school whose main campus is located in Morningside Heights, Manhattan. The campus takes up an equivalent of six city blocks, not including the 7,800 apartments belonging to the university. Most undergraduate and graduate studies take place in this campus just as former university president, Seth Low, had envisioned. Some sections of an underground tunnel system, built over more than a century ago, are still open to public.
The university is the oldest higher education institution in New York state and the fifth oldest in the U.S. It is considered as a Colonial College as it was founded in 1754, before the American Revolution. Originally, the university was named King's College for George II of Great Britain but the name was changed in 1784.
Some notable features of Columbia University include its responsibility in granting the annual Pulitzer Prize and also has stronger ties with the Nobel Prize than any other academic institution. In addition, the university was the first school in the U.S. to administer a M.D. degree and is also one of the founding members of the Association of American Universities.
The Morningside Heights campus features a number of buildings on the National Register of Historic Places including the Low Memorial Library for its architecture and Philosophy Hall where FM radio was invented. Another site, Pupin Hall, includes the physics and astronomy departments where uranium atom was split just ten days after the first success in Copenhagen.
The largest library on the Morningside Heights campus is the Nicholas Murray Butler Library named after a former president of the school. It is one of the largest buildings on the campus and also the eighth largest library in the U.S. with its collection of 10.4 million volumes.
