Columbia University. 



Address. New York City, N. Y. President: Nicholas Murray Butler. 

 History. Chartered in 1754 and established as King's College; name 

 changed to Columbia College by act of May I, 1784 which incorporated 

 the Regents of the University of the State of New York and placed 

 the college under their direction. In Apr. 1787 the government of 

 the college was transferred to a self-perpetuating corporation "The 

 Trustees of Columbia College in the City of New York." The cor- 

 porate title remains unchanged, but since Feb. 1896 the various depart- 

 ments have been designated collectively as Columbia University of the 

 City of New York. The College of Physicians and Surgeons, founded 

 in 1807, became the Department of Medicine in 1860 and was con- 

 solidated with Columbia College in 1891. The affiliated colleges, which 

 retain their separate corporate existence, are: Teachers College 

 (v. infra) ; Barnard College (for women), chartered in 1889 and 

 formally admitted as a department of the university in 1900; College 

 of Pharmacy.
