Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of Columbia University, 1754-1904 It is now nearly three score years since Nathaniel F. Moore prepared "An Historical Sketch of Columbia College," which was published in 1846 while its author was President. A revision of Dr. Moore´s history, undertaken by Professor Van Amringe and published in 1876, continued the annals of the College down to the earlier years of the administration of President Barnard. To an elaborate work of reference, entitled "American Universities and their Sons," published in 1898, Professor Van Amringe contributed a history of Columbia, from its foundation as King´s College to its removal to Morning-side Heights; and numerous historical articles have from time to time been published by George H. Moore, John MacMullen, John B. Pine, and others. It has seemed to the Trustees of the Columbia University Press, however, that a more comprehensive work was needed, and that such a work would most appropriately commemorate the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the College. They have accordingly appointed a subcommittee to take charge of the publication of a history of the University, which shall record the successive phases of its expansion and trace the development of each of its component schools and colleges.
