In view of the approaching end of the millennium, this edition of FACETS takes a look back at the people and places that have contributed to the complexity and diversity of Columbia University. Notable historical events, including the movement of Columbia’s campus to Morningside Heights in 1897 and the demonstrations of students in the 1960s, appear on the timeline in the beginning of this edition of FACETS. Throughout this edition, you will find snapshots of Columbia through the years. Along with such historical references, FACETS continues to provide essential information to all of Columbia’s students—undergraduate, graduate, professional, and postdoctoral —as well as those attending its affiliated schools.

 Campus Security cases are seen immediately. The Emergency Room can get very crowded, so if you do not need immediate attention, it is best to go to Health Services at John Jay Hall.

Emergency Telephones

For immediate communication with Columbia Security, use one of the bright yellow emergency call boxes visible all over campus and its surrounding areas. For better visibility, a blue light is affixed to the telephone pole. The boxes work like radios—just pull the handle to open the box and press the red button inside to speak. To hear a reply, release the button. Give the security officer your location, and personnel will be dispatched right away. If you can, tell the dispatcher the nature of the emergency.

Do not carry more cash than you need. If you must carry a purse, keep it close to your body and do not resist if it is snatched. If your wallet is stolen, cancel your credit cards and your checking account at once and report the incident to the police. If someone is following you on foot, remain alert: look behind you, cross the street, ask for help. If you are being followed by car, turn around and walk in the opposite direction. Try to get the license plate number and call the police if the problem persists. If a driver stops to ask directions, do not approach his or her car. Do not worry about appearing rude. When using automatic bank teller machines, always be aware of the people around you. Be especially careful if the cash machines are located directly on the street. Try to use machines during the daylight hours. If you are suspicious of any person near the machine, do not use it. Try to have a friend accompany you to ATM machines.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

If you are traveling by subway, have your token, Metrocard, or money ready before you go into the station. Try to stay near people at all times—pick a car that is occupied by other passengers. If you are suspicious of anyone, get off the train at the next stop and notify the
