		Much of Columbia’s work in the fields of political science and international relations is carried on through a large group of research institutes (e.g., the East Asian, the European, and the Russian, now Harriman, institutes).
		Columbia has formal educational ties to the Juilliard School of Music and the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, to Oxford and Cambridge universities in England, to the Univ. of Paris, to Kyoto and Tokyo universities in Japan, and other educational institutions.
		Columbia College remained the undergraduate school and in 1919 originated the modern Contemporary Civilizations Core Curriculum requirements, for which it is still well known.

	The Earth Institute at Columbia University (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The Earth Institute is the natural outcome of Columbia University's commitment to enhance understanding of global sustainability and its recognition that true success depends upon the concerted efforts of physical, biological, and social scientists in cooperation with an informed and involved citizenry.
		A joint venture of Columbia University and The Rockefeller University, the Laboratory of Populations provides insight into population increase/decrease, the spread of diseases in households and communities, and the social structures that are essential to human health and well-being.
		Columbia University's physical and social scientists are motivated by a clear and compelling need to reduce the catastrophic impacts on society from natural and human-induced hazards.

	Pulitzer Centennial Lecture: 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The founders of most institutions at universities are, for better or worse, committees; or presidents and provosts; or, probably most often, committees whose composition has been artfully stacked by presidents and provosts to recommend whatever they wanted in the first place.
		The school didn't actually open for business until the fall of 1912, a year after Pulitzer's death (the long lag time meant that the University of Missouri's journalism school, which opened in 1908, got the distinction of being the nation's first).
		There is the statue of Thomas Jefferson out front of the building, which he endowed separately from the school; an inscription to his daughter Lucille, who died young, in a stone set into the floor of the lobby; and a stirring quotation from Pulitzer on a bronze plaque on one wall of the lobby.

		Columbia's faculty and alumni have a long and illustrious history of contributions to the world of science including well over 45 Nobel Laureates, more than any other University.
		It was named after George B. Pegram, vice president of Columbia University and Dean of the School of Mines, Engineering and Chemistry from 1918 to 1930.
		Pegram's quiet experiments helped to set in motion the nuclear age and he was the individual responsible for assembling at Columbia the group of scientists (the Manhattan Project) whose work led to the atomic bomb.

	Books: Pulitzer's School: Columbia University's School of Journalism, 1903-2003
		Columbia moved with alacrity — even unseemly haste — after Pulitzer's death on October 29, 1911, to open the school in September 1912.
		It thought that the school might take over the Columbia College newspaper, the Spectator (a bad idea that was a long time in dying) but eventually leaned toward a laboratory publication.
		Columbia's dealings concerning Pulitzer, external and internal, are free of any references to him as a Jew, yet it hardly seems possible that Butler and his trustees — hypersensitive as they were to the supposed encroachments of Jewishness — would be unaware of that identity.

		At Columbia's founding, no such discipline as "physics" existed, but the physical world was a world of wonder for those who termed themselves "natural philosophers." Columbia's Physics Department came of age in 1896 when one of the initial buildings constructed on the new campus was "the physics building," now Fayerweather Hall.

	Walter P. Douglas - Bisbee Deportation 1917- UA Library (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		He was naturalized in 1913 and attended the Columbia University School of Mines, arrived in Prescott as an engineer in 1890, and in 1901, at age thirty-one, he was appointed General Manager of the Copper Queen Mine, property of Phelps-Dodge Corporation, the dominant mine in the Bisbee area.
		Unlike his father, who was concerned with the technical side of mining and inclined to labor-management cooperation, Walter had strong organizational and executive skills and was the prime force behind the 1915 corporate counteroffensive to the progressive coalition which had dominated early Arizona politics.
		He regarded ridding the state of organized labor as a crusade, and united mine management behind that goal, which culminated in the 1917 deportations of strikers in Jerome and Bisbee.

		Nikki Krawitz, the system’s vice president for finance and administration, also noted in her report to the curators that tuition and fees together make up the most flexible source of funding for the university and, in many cases, the only source that can be increased during budget crises.
		Along with the increase, curators discussed possible avenues to increase efficiency within the university, including an internal audit that would determine which programs and classes are being best utilized.
		The university was established in 1870 under the moniker Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy.

		Butler was University president from 1902–45 and died two years later, but not before transforming the University and earning himself an impressive level of national and international fame — and sometimes notoriety.
		Having moved north from Park Place in lower Manhattan in 1857, the School of Arts, as the liberal arts undergraduate division was then called, occupied the block between 49th and 50th streets, stretching from Madison to Fourth [now Park] Avenues, on a site purchased from the Lexington Institution for the Deaf and Dumb.
		Stressing his deep feeling for the university, Low explained the pull of duty that required him to “burn his bridges behind him” so that he could function in the coming political campaign without compromising the institution that was so firmly embedded in his heart.

		Then in 1900, Columbia fulfilled its part of the Low gift of professorships to Columbia by hiring seven women instructors (including Virginia Gildersleeve) who, though listed as Columbia faculty, would have as their primary responsibility the teaching of Barnard students – thereby freeing the new chaired professors for Columbia teaching.
