More information on Columbia University

In 1754 a Church of England minister was made the first president of what was then known as King's College. After the Revolutionary War, it was renamed Columbia University. In 1897 this Ivy League school moved to its present location; the notable faculty has included over 50 Nobel laureates. Notable buildings include the Low Library, which is built in a Roman Pantheon style—it houses offices and the visitor center. Organized tours are arranged or visitors can take a brochure and look on their own.
