Description
Commemorates Columbia University's 100th year at its current campus with a discussion of the genesis and legacy of McKim, Mead, and White's master plan; a photographic essay of the construction of the Low Memorial Library; and a catalogue of centennial exhibitions held at Columbia in 1997 and 1998. The exhibition celebrates the first day of classes held on Morningside Heights on October 4th, 1897, and in the tradition of a research university is as much a moment of self-examination and discovery as of commemoration. Many color and b&w photographs and architectural drawings are included. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
