  • 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.

In fewer than nine years, it has gone from oddball idea no investor would touch to cultural phenomenon. At first just the wacky idea of co - founders Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia, and Nathan Blecharczyk, Airbnb has disrupted the $500 billion hotel industry, and its $30 billion valuation is now larger than that of Hilton and close to that of Marriott. This is the first book solely dedicated to the phenomenon of Airbnb and is also the first in depth study of Airbnb's leader, Brian Chesky, the quirky and curious young CEO, as he steers the company into new markets and increasingly uncharted waters.
