  • LOW MEMORIAL LIBRARY, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, North of the College Walk (West 116Th Street Between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue), Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission September 20, 1966, Number S LP-0304 LOW MEMORIAL LIBRARY, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, north of the College Walk (West 116th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue), Borough of Manhattan. Begun 1895, completed 1897, architects McKim, Mead & White. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1973, Lot 1 in part, consisting of the land on which the described building is situated. On June 14, 1966, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of Low Memorial Library, Columbia University and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site. (Item No. 36). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Two witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. In a letter to the Commission, Grayson Kirk, President of Columbia University, said that the University was "happy to accept this designation." DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Low Memorial Library is a majestic building of truly monumental proportions. It is situated on a slight rise overlooking the south campus of Columbia University. This Roman stone building, designed in the form of a Greek cross, displays great classic grandeur. One of its chief features is an imposing Ionic portico (porch), consisting of ten superb fluted columns, supporting a simple cornice and high attic story, inscribed with references to the original King's College charter. An oct~gonal shaped drum, containing large semi-circular (lunette) windows, rises above the central portion of the building. Crowning the whole is a round low dome. Modelled on the Pantheon in Rome, the library building exhibits but little orna­ mental decoration and relies for its beauty on the strength of its pure classic form.

    WILLIAM KEYLOR Graduate student, History/Fayerweather Hall occupier THE SPECIAL CASE OF THE FAYERWEATHER OCCUPATION s a second-year graduate student in Columbia University’s History Department during the spring of 1968, I heard the daily speeches A reverberating from the sundial by Students for a Democratic Soci- ety (SDS) militants with a mixture of approval and dismay: approval of the ardent denunciations of the war in Vietnam and the demand that the university sever its connections to a think tank that conducted weap- ons research for the Pentagon; dismay at the infammatory revolutionary verbiage that accompanied what I considered that eminently reasonable demand. Te occupation of Low Memorial Library in the early hours of April 24 by SDS students—afer they had been gently evicted by the Students’ Afro-American Society (SAS) from their joint occupation of Hamilton Hall—flled me with the same feelings of ambivalence. On the one hand, my deeply felt opposition to America’s war in Southeast Asia prompted me to support the Low occupation as an appropriate gesture of condem- nation directed at our university’s complicity, however indirect, in the conduct of that war. On the other hand, I was disconcerted by the stream of diatribes emanating from Low Memorial Library that revealed the SDS regarded opposition to this particular war as merely a pretext for a full- scale ideological indictment of “Amerika.” I was an enthusiastic supporter of the antiwar campaign of Sen.

    COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK Morningside Heights Self-Guided Walking Tour Welcome to Columbia University. Maps and other materials for self-guided tours are available in the Visitors Center, located in room 213 of Low Memorial Library. The Visitors Center is open 01 Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. A current Columbia I.D. is required to enter all buildings except Low Library and St. Paul’s Chapel unless accompanied by a University tour guide. A virtual tour and podcast are also available online. Columbia University was founded in 1754 as King's College by royal charter of King George II of England. It is the oldest institution of higher learning in the state of New York and the fifth oldest in the United States. Founded in 1754 as King's College, Columbia University is today an international center of scholarship, with a pioneering undergraduate curriculum and renowned graduate and professional programs. Among the earliest students and trustees of King's College were John Jay, the first chief justice of the United States; Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the treasury; Gouverneur Morris, the author of the final draft of the U.S. Constitution; and Robert R. Livingston, a member of the five-man committee that drafted the Declaration of Independence. After the American Revolution, the University reopened in 1784 with a new name—Columbia—that embodied the patriotic fervor that had inspired the nation's quest for independence. In 1897, the university moved from Forty-ninth Street and Madison Avenue, where it had stood for fifty years, to its present location on Morningside Heights at 116th Street and Broadway.

  • Welcome to the SUNY College at Plattsburgh
    Welcome to the SUNY College at Plattsburgh President’s Welcome Angela Weiler Welcome to the SUNYLA Conference! Each year we gather together, as colleagues, professionals, and friends, to share what we've been working on during the past year and to learn from each other. Of equal importance, though, are the bonds we form and strengthen, bonds that are forged through personal, human contact. Regular face-to-face communication within a large university system is always difficult to arrange (particularly in the winter!), but on occasions such as this conference, when we can actually get together, eat together, learn together, and play together, we find once again that no e-mail list, blog, or telephone can quite match the "being there" experience. May you have a wonderful time here, and leave the SUNYLA Conference inspired, refreshed, and rejuvenated! Welcome from the Conference Chair Shannon Pritting Welcome to the 43 rd SUNY Librarians Association Conference. Our theme for this year, “Shared Borders: Collaborating for Success,” embodies what libraries have always been good at: sharing and collaborating. These two core principles of librarianship have kept libraries relevant, and will continue to keep us as important voices in diverse conversations. The program planning committee, especially Kim Davies Hoffman, has put together an agenda that could sustain a conference of several days. And, most importantly, Debra Kimok and the local arrangements committee at Plattsburgh have designed a conference experience that promises to entertain, stimulate conversations, and hopefully further collaborations across SUNY. I have thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with many SUNY Librarians who have helped with planning this conference, especially Logan Rath, who makes the complications of registration seem easy, and Pat Maxwell for her diligence, diplomacy, and creativity in working with our generous sponsors and exhibitors.
