Who, for example, could forget the 1939 Nazi-Soviet Pact? Not Poland! For that matter, mutu- ally-beneficial exchanges play an integral role even at our fine school. Between Columbia College and SEAS students: “You do my problem set, I’ll read the Iliad for you.” Between the ladies of Barnard and Columbia: “You Take Back The Night, we’ll give you back your men.” Between the Office of University Development and the United Arab Emirates: “You give us 2.1 million dol- lars, we’ll give you an Edward Said Chair for Middle Eastern Studies.” Over the last two years, the Varsity Show and The Blue and White have enjoyed their own especially rewarding relationship. For instance, dur- ing tonight’s performance of Off Broadway, the Varsity Show will prove remarkably adept at wowing the audience with catchy tunes, flashy lights, and jokes at Barnard’s expense (it’s so easy). But what is the audience expected to do while waiting for the show to begin? Enter The Blue and White.

Ground- breaking ceremonies for the $9 million edifice will be held early next month.” Two weeks later it is reported that there is a delay “until early 1967.” OCTOBER 1966 Tenants in a Columbia-owned residence organize “to protest living condi- tions in the building.” One resident “charged yesterday that there had been no hot water and no steam ‘for some weeks.’ She said, too, that Columbia had ofered tenants $50 to $75 to relocate.” A new student magazine—“a forum for the war on Vietnam”—is pub- lished.

    Columbia University

    Columbia University BASIC FACTS Columbia University is located in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York, New York at West 116th and Broadway. The university was founded as King’s College in 1754. The university has three undergraduate colleges; Columbia College (CC), The Fu Foundation School of Engineering (SEAS), and the School of General Studies (GS) with an overall undergraduate population of about 8,500 students. According to the Wall Street Journal/ Times Higher Education 2019 Rankings, Columbia University is ranked #4 among U.S. Universities and 16th among global universities. Columbia College (CC) Columbia College is undeniably the most famous of the three undergraduate schools as it is the oldest of the undergraduate colleges at Columbia. The school currently has an acceptance rate of 5.8% and is known as a liberal arts college conferring B.A. degrees to their students. CC hosts mostly traditional college students who are no more than 1 year out of high school. The average age of a first-year student is therefore around 18. The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) SEAS is the engineering and applied sciences undergraduate school at Columbia. SEAS maintain close research ties with other institutions including NASA, IBM, MIT, and The Earth Institute and is known for their applied mathematics, biomedical engineering, computer science, and financial engineering. The school maintains close ties to CC by sharing housing. In many ways, the two schools are known as combined even though they each have their own administration - including separate Dean of Students. The acceptance rate is currently around 7%.
