Minghui Yu

2025-08-21T23:51:01Z

AussieTony: updated reference to attacker

'''Minghui Yu''' was a [[PhD]] student in the [[Department of Statistics]]. Scheduled to graduate in [[2011]], Yu was struck and killed by an SUV while fleeing attackers just north of the [[Morningside Heights campus]].

==Life==

Before coming to Columbia, Minghui studied at USTC in China, in the Special Class for the Gifted Young.<ref>http://www.cucssa.org/pub/modules/tinyd0/print.php?id=34</ref>

At Columbia, Minghui was admitted to the [[Physics Department]], but transferred to Statistics in the Fall of 2007. He served on the [[2007]]-2008 working committee of the [[CUCSSA]], and was also a [[TA]] for the statistics department.

==Circumstances of death==

On [[April 4]], [[2008]], Minghui was waiting at a bus stop at 122nd St. and [[Broadway (avenue)|Broadway]] shortly before 9pm when three young Afro-American teenage males approached him. One of the males kept watch while the others assaulted and attempted to rob Mr Yu. MingHui Yu refused to give up his belongings, and the two attackers punched him in the face and kicked him. Minghui then attempted to flee from his attackers in desperation, however ran onto the street into the path of on-comming traffic. He was struck by a Jeep Cherokee.<ref>http://www.bwog.net/articles/breaking_student_fleeing_muggers_hit_by_car</ref> He was taken to
[[St. Luke's Hospital]] but passed away as a result of the severe head trauma he sustained.

The motivation for the attack remains unclear. While initially it was reported as an attempted mugging, later accounts strongly suggest that the attack had racial overtones,with the defendant stating "look what I did to that one" to his accomplices after the attack.

==Investigation and aftermath==

The driver who struck Minghui stopped at the scene and gave assistance. No charges were filed against him.<ref>http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2008/04/05/2008-04-05_student_fleeing_muggers_killed_in_traffi.html</ref> An [[NYPD]] investigation is underway and is being supported by the [[Department of Public Safety]]. Images of the attackers were caught on several security cameras on buildings in the area by the Department of Public Safety.

One of Minghui's assailants, 14-year-old Afro-American Sheldon Johnson, was arrested and charged with manslaughter.<ref>https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/albertsamaha/threesheldons</ref> He faced the charge in juvenile court.He has pleaded guilty to second degree manslaughter.

MingHui Yu's family in China has been notified, and efforts are being made to bring them to the United States. A vigil was held on campus on April 7.<ref>http://www.bwog.net/articles/in_memoriam</ref>

Columbia Space Initiative

2025-06-02T00:30:41Z

AussieTony: /* External links */ added CSI Slack

The '''Columbia Space Initiative''' (CSI) is a student group dedicated to space projects on campus and Columbia's largest engineering club. CSI competes in NASA challenges, do outreach and provide members with networking in the space science field. It was founded in September 2015 (unsurprisingly) with the help of professor and former NASA astronaut [[Michael_Massimino|Mike Massimino]]. CSI has participated in three NASA challenges (Micro-g NExT, RASCAL and BIG), launched its own model rockets and balloons. CSI organizes many events across campus, including live call-ins with the International Space Station and talks with prominent people in the space domain such as former astronauts and NASA employees.

== Membership and Participation ==
CSI is open to all current Columbia and Barnard students, with no application process required. The club encourages students to explore multiple missions and holds weekly general body meetings on Fridays at 4 PM in Mudd Building, Room 833. The annual "Liftoff Meeting" serves as an introduction for new members to learn about the various missions and opportunities within CSI.

== Notable Missions and Achievements ==
CubeSat: CSI's CubeSat team is developing LIONESS (Line Imaging Orbiter for Nanosatellite-Enabled Spectrographic Surveys), the first satellite designed by Columbia undergraduates to be launched into low Earth orbit. The mission aims to study diffuse gases in nearby galaxies using an integral field unit spectrograph. The project has received funding through NASA's CubeSat Launch Initiative, with a planned launch in 2027.

=== AQUAS ===
Launched in 2023, the AQUAS mission focuses on creating an autonomous, unmanned sampling vehicle to monitor and treat algal blooms in New York City's Morningside Park. Collaborating with the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and NYC Parks, the project aims to improve local water quality through innovative environmental monitoring.

=== Micro-g NExT ===
In 2024, CSI's Micro-g team developed the SEE LION, an autonomous camera and computer system designed to assist in unassisted egress scenarios from the Orion capsule. The device was tested at NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory in Houston, Texas, successfully identifying objects with high confidence.

=== Rocketry ===
CSI's rocketry team designs, builds, and tests high-powered hybrid rockets. Notably, they achieved successful launches of a 30k 805 lbf rocket at the Spaceport America Cup and a 25k 1200 lbf rocket at the FAR-OUT event in June 2024. The team continually works to refine control systems and develop innovative scientific payloads for high-altitude flights.

=== RASC-AL ===
Participating in NASA's RASC-AL competition, CSI students design mission architectures to support human survival in lunar and Martian environments. The 2025 objective focuses on creating a mission concept aimed at reducing risks associated with human exploration on Mars, with the goal of fostering a permanent human presence.

== Outreach and Community Engagement ==
CSI's Outreach branch is dedicated to connecting with middle and high school students throughout New York City, focusing on increasing exposure to STEM concepts and careers. In partnership with the Sophie Gerson Healthy Youth Foundation, CSI volunteers conduct educational programs, including model rocket design and launches, reaching over 1,000 students in the previous academic year. Additionally, CSI hosts public events featuring astronauts and space industry leaders, often attracting over 200 attendees.

== Awards and Recognition ==
In 2025, CSI was honored with the Zvi Galil Award for Improvement in Engineering Student Life, recognizing its significant contributions to enhancing the student experience within Columbia's engineering community.

University Commencement

2025-05-26T06:06:29Z

AussieTony: Added 2020-2021 info

[[Image:UniCommencement.jpg|thumb|400px|University Commencement]]
'''University Commencement''' is the end of the line. Just over 12,000 [[degree]] candidates and more than 30,000 guests cram into [[Low Plaza]] and [[South Lawn]] and beyond.

All degree candidates receive 4 tickets for their guests. Since some candidates host more or less than 4 guests, a relatively liquid market in commencement tickets has developed. Most years some group of enterprising students set up a website to acquire or dispose of tickets.

== The Ceremony ==
At 9:30am, the Class of 1893 bell in [[St. Paul's Chapel]] rings and marks the beginning of the the [http://www.columbia.edu/acis/networks/advanced/commencement/2007/commencement2007-student.ram Degree Candidates Procession]. This usually coincides with a loud cheer going up among the degree candidates. The soon-to-be graduates, who assemble beforehand on the upper campus, then descend down onto [[Low Plaza]] and take their seats.

At 10:30am, the [http://www.columbia.edu/acis/networks/advanced/commencement/2007/commencement2007-faculty.ram Academic Procession] begins, with faculty, trustees, and administrators proceeding from [[Low Library]] to their seating on [[The steps|the Steps]]. This marks the official beginning of Commencment.

=== President's Address ===
Whereas many schools invite a major public figure to deliver the keynote address at commencement, at Columbia that privilege has always been held by the [[University President]].

This quirk is the reason for the annual complaints from Columbia undergraduates, whose [[Class Day]] speakers tend to be slightly lower profile, since a ceremony for 1,000 students doesn't have quite the pull as Commencement does. Students who expect the Class Day speaker to be high profile to make up for commencement are usually disappointed, though there have been some fine speakers in the past.

=== Conferral of Honorary Degrees and Awards ===

The [[Honorary Degree]] recipients are usually big names. The [[provost]] presents each recipient who is then hooded on stage. Also honored are the recipient of the [[University Medal for Excellence]], the recipients of the [[Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching|Presidential Teaching Awards]] and recipients of the [[Alumni Medal]].

=== Conferral of Degrees ===

Following Bollinger's speech and the honorary degree conferrals, each of the schools' deans (first of the undergraduate schools in chronological order, followed by those of the graduate schools in reverse chronological order) approaches the podium and presents his class to President Bollinger, asking (in an obsequious and typically witty fashion, e.g. "I beg you, sir") to accept them and confer upon them their [[degrees]]. Bollinger then accepts a scroll from them and following all the presentations officially confers upon the graduates their [[degrees]].

Graduating members from each school typically wave (or throw) items representing their discipline during their presentation- apple cores for [[Columbia College]], shredded newspapers for the [[J-School]], a giant toothbrush for [[College of Dental Medicine|Dentistry]], etc.

=== Distribution of Diplomas ===

After the ceremony ends, student [[a capella]] groups sing [[School Songs#Alma Mater|"Stand, Columbia"]]. This is followed by a rendition of Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York," and assorted sappy songs typically associated with graduation. After "Stand, Columbia," in any case, students make their way down from Low Plaza to meet their families and guests and proceed to a pre-designated location at which they can pick up the [[diploma]] for their respective school. For CC, this is usually the upper levels of [[Lerner Hall]]. For SEAS it is with their departments.

== Commencement History ==
Commencement had traditionally been held at churches near campus. When Columbia moved to its [[Midtown campus]] in [[1857]], commencement exercises were often held at the Academy of Music, a popular theater located on the corner of 14th Street and Irving Place. On the [[Morningside Heights campus]] Commencement exercises were first held in [[1898]] in the gymnasium in [[University Hall]] (now the [[Blue Gym]].) Space was extremely limited and each student was only allowed a limited number of guests. Sound familiar? Since [[1926]] the ceremony has been held outdoors on [[Low Plaza]], with some exceptions.

===1786===

In [[1786]], New York was still the capital of the United States. The first commencement of the newly-renamed [[Columbia College]] was considered such an important event in the city that, on [[April 11]], [[Congress]] actually shut down to mark the occasion "to support the important interests of education by their contenance, and grace the exhibitions by their august present".<ref>''The Massachusetts Spy'' (Worcester, Mass.), April 30, 1786</ref>

===1789===

[[George Washington]] reportedly attends Commencement after being sworn in as [[President of the United States]].

=== 1811 ===
The [[1811]] commencement, held in Trinity Church, has gone down in Columbia history as "The Riotous Commencement." A student was denied his diploma after he decided not to alter his commencement oration. He appealed to the audience and disorder broke out, leading to a number of arrests.<ref>Frederick Keppel, '''Columbia''', pg. 221</ref>

===1941===
Commencement [[1941]] was tinged with sadness over the passing of baseball legend [[Lou Gehrig]], who had attended Columbia, from his eponymous disease just one day before.<ref>http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/29/sports/baseball/for-the-columbia-class-of-41-it-is-always-the-day-after.html</ref>

=== 1968 ===
In [[1968]], commencement was not held on campus and the university president did not deliver the address, thanks to the fallout from the [[1968 protests|protests of that year]]. Instead history professor [[Richard Hofstadter]] delivered the address to the students gathered in [[St. John the Divine]], many of whom staged a walk-out on a pre-arranged signal- [[WKCR]] played "The Times They Are A'Changin"- and held a counter-commencement in [[Morningside Park]].

===2020 and 2021===
Due to restrictions imposed by the [[COVID-19]] pandemic, in-person commencement ceremonies and [[Class Day]]s were cancelled and replaced by virtual events. As the pandemic waned and restrictions eased the Classes of 2020 and 2021 were jointly celebrated with in-person university wide and school specific ceremonies during 2022's [[Commencement Week]].

===2024===

Despite being partly set up already, University Commencement in [[2024]] was completely canceled a week before the event as a result of the fallout from the [[Gaza Solidarity Encampment]], which resulted in the sealing off of the [[Morningside Heights campus]] and fear of further protest action. Even [[Class Day]]s were relocated to the [[Baker Athletic Complex]].

COVID-19

2025-05-26T05:54:10Z

AussieTony: Added Spring 2022

{{wp-also}}

The '''COVID-19''' Novel Coronavirus pandemic profoundly changed student life during the [[2019]]-[[2020]] through [[2021]]-[[2022]] school years.

== Timeline of Events ==

=== January 2020 to early March ===
*Concerns building around the pandemic, especially for [[New York City]].
*Near the end of this period, Columbia administration keeping in eye on the infection rates, peer schools like [[NYU]] and other [[Ivy League|Ivies]], and creating their own University COVID-19 Task Force with infectious disease professors, upper-level administration, and other appointees.

===March===
*After a period of uncertainty, students were told to leave campus, barring special circumstances. This was relatively well-received, compared to peer schools like [[Princeton]].
*Columbia Housing directed students to two external moving and storage companies. Due to extreme load, this ended up working out badly, and many students were forced to leave their belongings or pay large amounts to ship them to their home addresses.
*Commencement and Class Day ceremonies for 2020 graduates are cancelled and replaced with virtual events.

=== Remainder of Spring 2020 ===
*The semester moved to P/F (not P/D/F) for both [[SEAS]] and [[CC]] students.
*Many professors chose to cancel their final exams in favor of projects due to the P/F policy and timezone differences.

=== Fall 2020 ===
*Both Summer 2020 and Fall 2020 were shifted back to letter-grading.
*Most student concerns centered around too much [[Zoom]] and screen usage, academic honesty, and timezones. Only classes under the Engineering department were required to be recorded and asynchronous.
*On November 16th, 2020, [[ESC]] announced that they had convinced the Columbia administration to allow [[SEAS]] undergrads to take one class P/D/F, regardless of class level or subject, including major requirements. This policy came in stark contrast to the usual SEAS P/D/F policy, which allows students to P/D/F one 3000+ level humanities class per semester. With this new policy, students had a chance to select the P/D/F grading option up until the last day of classes, and after learning their final grade in the class, had the option to uncover the Pass if they chose.
*Soon after, on [[November 18]], [[CCSC]] announced the same policy would also apply to CC students. No such policy was extended to GS or Barnard students.

=== Spring 2021 ===
*Despite many high hopes, Columbia did not return to normal in the spring of 2021.
*CC and SEAS seniors were guaranteed housing, while everyone else got the boot (students with extenuating circumstances had the option to petition for housing, and many received it).
*Barnard guaranteed housing for seniors and freshmen, while sophomores and juniors got the short end of the stick. As with Columbia, Barnard students could also petition for housing if they had extenuating circumstances, but because of [[Barnard]]'s limited dorm space, very few were accepted.
*Despite it's best efforts to de-densify campus, around 70-80% of the undergrad population returned to NYC, scattered across dorms and off-campus apartments in [[Morningside Heights]].
*To safely allow this much higher volume of students, Columbia developed a rigorous [https://www.wikicu.com/Columbia_testing_program testing program].
*Courses were shifted to a hybrid modality, where each professor had control over how much they wanted to teach in-person or online, with in-person teaching staying within NYC guidelines of course. The vast majority of professors decided to stick with the online format, and classes that did go hybrid had mixed effectiveness.
*Facilities slowly opened up. Libraries were available to students who signed up for 4-hour time slots. [[Dodge Gym]] reopened for use. Undergrad labs once again began hiring undergrad students.
*During the winter, Columbia set up heated outdoor tents for students to have a safe place to socialize without freezing to death.

=== Spring 2022 ===
*[[PrezBo]] announces a special ceremony recognizing the Classes of 2020 and 2021 to take place during Commencement week.

=== Fall 2022 ===
*All students were welcomed back to campus with vaccine documentation or a really good excuse
*In-person classes resumed, while restrictions remained for the sizes of other gatherings
*After an uptick in cases in mid-September, which the administration blamed on on and off-campus parties, students were banned from inter-dorm travel. About one week later, the ban was amended to allow students to sign in one [[Undergraduate Guest]] to their dorm at a time.

Peter Allen

[[Image:PeterAllen.jpg|thumb|200px|Peter K. Allen]]
{{dir-also|pka1}}

'''Peter Kirby Allen''' is a professor in the [[computer science department]] who builds and plays with cool robots. One particularly apt review of him on [[CULPA]] states, "Professor Allen will not hold your hand, he will not take any shit, and he '''will''' teach you data structures." He's known for being a very clear lecturer, but tends to be overly exhaustive in describing example code.

Donald Keene

AussieTony: updated first paragraph

{{wp-also}}

'''Donald Keene''' (1922-2019) [[Columbia College|CC]] '[[1942|42]] [[MA]] '[[1947|47]] [[PhD]] '[[1951|51]] was a [[University Professor]] Emeritus and Shincho Professor Emeritus of Japanese Literature. As a student at Columbia, he studied under [[Mark Van Doren]], whose philosophy of engagement with primary literary texts shaped Keene's approach to Japanese literature. He taught Japanese literature and culture for over fifty years, and is a celebrity in Japan, where his memoirs were serialized in the country's highest-circulation newspaper. In [[1986]], the [[Donald Keene Center of Japanese Culture]] was founded in his honor.

Keene retired in [[2011]]. In [[2012]], his popularity in Japan culminated when he became one of the few Westerners ever granted Japanese citizenship. A museum will even be built in his honor containing a replica of his study in New York.<ref>http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/03/world/asia/with-citizenship-japan-embraces-columbia-scholar.html?ref=global-home</ref> In the meantime, he's taken up all kinds of unique Japanese customs - like adopting 60 year old men.<ref>http://blogs.wsj.com/japanrealtime/2013/05/08/donald-keenes-latest-japanese-adventure/</ref>

'''Robert Leo "Bob" Sheppard''' (1910-2010) [[MA]](?) '[[1933|33]] was the iconic public announcer at [[Yankee Stadium|New York Yankees]]. In his 58-year career, he witnessed in person 22 of the Yankees' 26 World Series wins. His announcing is so closely associated with the baseball club that he has earned the nickname "The Voice of the Yankees." Sheppard received a master's degree in speech from Columbia in 1933.

{{wp-also}}

'''The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art''' is a privately funded college in the East Village neighborhood of [[Manhattan]].

Cooper Union mostly offers degrees in engineering, though in fewer disciplines than [[SEAS]]. It also offers degrees in Art and Architecture.

Cooper's abundance in male students make it a popular hookup place for nearby male-deprived [[NYU]] students. (There are many.)

It seeks to bring together those members of the Columbia & Barnard community that share our interest in the social, cultural, and political milieu of Pakistan and Central & South Asia. The club was founded over a decade ago with hopes of fostering understanding and diversity at our campus - and still strives to achieve that vision today.

Columbia University Information Technology

2025-05-25T23:31:33Z

AussieTony: link update

'''Columbia University Information Technology''' is the computing group of the university to support the general student and faculty population. It was formed by the merger of '''AcIS''' and '''AIS''' in [[2006]], and before that from '''CUCCA''', the Center for Computing Activities.

It is so awful and behind the times that the [[law school]], [[business school]] and [[SIPA]] maintain their own information technology departments.

However, CUIT still controls all the physical internet and telephone connections.

They keep a [[computer graveyard]] outside of the [[Marcellus Hartley Dodge Physical Fitness Center|Dodge Fitness Center]].

LionMail

AussieTony:

[[File:LionMail_Pilot_Inbox.png|200px|thumb|right|Screenshot of a LionMail inbox during the March 2012 Pilot Phase]]
LionMail is the replacement for [[CubMail]]. It uses the Google Apps program, and appears nearly indistinguishable from gmail. Note that as of March, 2012 LionMail does not offer Google Docs,

In March 2012 [[CUIT]] began rolling out the service first to a handful of pilot users, then in several phases (Phase one, early April 2012, was 1,000 undergraduates) with a goal to migrate the entire user population to LionMail by the end of 2012.

Although LionMail did not initially have storage limits, Google, being the bait and switch cheapskates that they are, announced in January 2022 the end of free unlimited storage for their higher education clients. As of 2024, [[CUIT]] updated its quota allocations to 100GB for current students, faculty, staff, and retirees, and 5GB for alumni. Although some alumni expressed frustration on Reddit's Columbia subreddit page, other universities reneged on their email for life policies and promises in the wake of Google's changes and booted their alumni into the abyss, so kudos to CUIT for not being daft.

Email

2025-05-25T23:18:28Z

AussieTony:

'''Email''' is the primary official form of communication at Columbia. All students, including [[Barnard College]] students, are issued an email address @[[columbia.edu]]. Students at some [[:Category:Schools|schools]] are issued an additional email @barnard.edu, @gsb.columbia.edu, etc. All email addresses come with 100 GB of storage.

Most students check their email using [[LionMail]], which replaced [[CubMail]] in 2012. A small number of people still regularly use Pine to check their email.

The smarter method is to use [[w:Microsoft Outlook|Microsoft Outlook]] or [[w:Mozilla Thunderbird|Mozilla Thunderbird]]. Outlook has more features, but it costs money, you probably won't use the extra features, and you'll come to hate the program after a few years in the [[real world]]. So you should consider using Thunderbird. Configuration instructions are [http://www.columbia.edu/acis/software/thunderbird/config-home.html here].

Steven Bellovin

AussieTony: retirement info

[[Image:StevenMBellovin.jpg|thumb|200px|Steven M. Bellovin]]
{{wp-also}}
{{dir-also|smb2132}}

'''Steven M. Bellovin''', [[Columbia College|CC]] '[[1972|72]], is a professor in the [[Computer Science Department]] who specializes in computer security and networks. He worked at Bell Labs for over 20 years before joining the Columbia faculty in [[2005]]. He sort of resembles Santa Claus, despite being Jewish. In Fall [[2006]], he was hit by a car and returned the next week on a cane and jokingly suggested, "Maybe my next paper should be an examination of how a person and a motor vehicle cannot occupy the same space at the same time."

== Teaching ==
Bellovin started teaching in 2005. He's a pretty big name in computer security, so he's often out of town on talks and receiving awards and stuff (~90% attendance rate). You can really get all the information you need from his slides, which he posts online, but then you miss out on all the cool tangents he goes on in class about the early days of the internet.

Steve announced in May [[2024]] he would be retiring and no longer accepting advisees, but would focus on writing in retirement rather than settling back in his rocking chair.

'''David Horowitz''' [[Columbia College|CC]] '[[1959|59]] was an American conservative writer and activist. He wrote a book called ''[[w:The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America|The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America]]'', listing nine Columbia professors, more than at any other university. The list comprised [[Lisa Anderson]], [[Gil Anidjar]], [[Hamid Dabashi]], [[Nicholas de Genova]], [[Eric Foner]], [[Todd Gitlin]], [[Manning Marable]], [[Joseph Massad]], and [[Victor Navasky]].

Horowitz has planned an Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, to be held at multiple campuses, including Columbia. In response to critics at Columbia, he wrote a column for the [[Columbia Spectator]]<ref>http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2006/03/29/horowitz-explains-professors</ref>.

Despite his attempts to defame Columbia at all costs, [[William Theodore de Bary]] likes him, and has proclaimed him "a good student". Because he remembers him when he was a student. In the 50s.

{{wp-also}}

'''Edwin Howard Armstrong''' [[SEAS]] [[1913]] was an American electrical engineer who invented FM radio and its underlying receiver and transmitter technology.

Armstrong did some work for [[Michael Pupin]] while a student, then after graduation. Eventually, he managed to work his way into a Columbia professorship this way somehow.

Much of Armstrong's work, including the regenerative circuit, super regenerative circuit, and superheterodyne receiver was conceived in the basement of [[Philosophy Hall]], doing much of the work as an undergraduate in the [[Electrical Engineering]] Department.

The [[Supreme Court]] later awarded Lee De Forest the patent for Armstrong's receiver technology after a prolonged 12 year patent dispute. Armstrong was later pwn3d again by RCA in a patent dispute over FM technology.

The patent dispute proved so financially and emotionally ruinous that Armstrong subsequently committed [[suicide]] in [[1954]], jumping out of his 13th floor apartment; coincidentally, Columbia's electrical engineering department is housed on the 13th floor of [[Mudd]].

Armstrong is one of Columbia's most distinguished alumni and his work with FM led to the declaration of [[Philosophy Hall]] as a National Historic Landmark in [[2003]].

[[Image:moeneil.png|thumb|Moe Berg: MLB catcher and CIA spook]]

'''Moe Berg''' [[Law]] '[[1930|30]], is perhaps the most interesting personality to ever have stepped onto Columbia campus.

Moe Berg was a Major League Baseball catcher from 1923 to 1939. In his career he played for the Brooklyn Dodgers, the Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians, the Washington Senators, and the [[Boston Red Sox]]. Possessing sound baseball instincts and defensive abilities, he rubbed shoulders with many famous players, including Casey Stengel and Ted Williams.

Later, during World War II he served with the OSS (a government organization which would eventually morph into the CIA), parachuting into Nazi Europe to aid and assess resistance groups there. In the last years of the war, he rendezvoused with several German scientists to attempt to persuade them to defect to the United States and contribute to the [[Manhattan Project]].

He also spent several months in Japan to take photographs and videos. These would be used to plan the Doolittle Raid.

He studied at Columbia Law School while simultaneously playing professional baseball. An undergraduate alumnus of [[Princeton University]], he regularly read 10 newspapers everyday. He was also multilingual; it was said of him "he could speak eight languages, and couldn't hit in any of them."

His biography, authored by Nicholas Dawidoff, is entitled [https://www.amazon.com/Catcher-Was-Spy-Paul-Rudd/dp/B07G28Y3XV ''The Catcher was a Spy'',] which was also made into a [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4602066/ 2018 full length feature film].

President's House

[[Image:PresidentialPalace2.jpg|300px|thumb|Rear View, [[116th Street]] side, showing [[Wien Hall]] (left), President's garden, and [[Faculty House]] (background)]]
'''President's House''' is the official residence for the [[President]] of the university, currently occupied by [[Minouche Shafik]]. Located at [[116th Street]] and [[Morningside Drive]], its sole purpose is to make students living in nearby [[Wien Hall]] feel even more miserable.

== Renovations ==
During [[George Rupp|President George Rupp's]] tenure, it was decided that President's House needed repairs and renovation due to faulty electricity systems. The budget was initially set at $2m. However, the final cost of renovating the structure, completed three years after [[Lee Bollinger]] moved in, exceeded $20m.

Following these renovations, President's House now features a dedicated Gigabit network connection, the use of which is unknown.

Lee C. Bollinger

AussieTony: updated Office of the President link

{{dir-also|lcb50}}

[[Image:LeeBollinger.jpg|thumb|Lee C. Bollinger]]
[[File:PrezBo and Bloomberg at MVille.jpg|thumb|Bollinger and Bloomberg look over Manhattanville from a new building]]

'''Lee Caroll Bollinger''' [[Columbia Law School|Law]] '[[1971|71]] was the [[University President|president of the university]] from 2002 to 2023, a tenure surpassed only by the likes of [[Frederick A. P. Barnard]] and [[Nicholas Murray Butler]]. He is affectionately known as '''PrezBo''' (alt. spelling '''Prezbo'''), a term coined by the [[Varsity Show]].

==Presidency==

Bollinger came to Columbia after serving as president of the [[University of Michigan]], where he did now unthinkable things like host house parties for students. Occasionally, though, he will invite students for cotillions at the [[President's House]], where he will deftly avoid providing substantive answers to any of their questions or critiques.

His presidency has been marked by the vague goal of making Columbia a "[[global university]]," including the creation of the [[World Leaders Forum]] and the [[Committee on Global Thought]].

The massive [[Manhattanville campus]] project is another of his brainchilds.

==Other activities==

Once, in his spare time, he did something important involving law and [[affirmative action]]. Now, he mostly teaches undergrads how to behave like law students, luring them with a class on free speech, where he exercises Socratic Terror to compel debates that are still 1000 times more interesting than anything most actual lawyers do.

PrezBo also promotes physical fitness, inaugurating the [[5K Fun Run]]. The event, which occurs in September every fall, features free t-shirts and is led by PrezBo himself.

==Characteristics and interests==

He is rarely, if ever, seen walking to and from his official residence at [[116th Street|116th]] and [[Morningside Drive]]. Rumor (though confirmed by many who have actually seen it) has it he is driven the 1.5 blocks from his office in [[Low Library]].

He is recognizable for his wispy hair, trim physique, and vague, tepid statements about everything and everyone except perhaps [[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]].

Bollinger submitted an op-ed (his first and only submission to a campus publication) In response to a Spectator staff editorial which called for the firing of the Athletic Director, [[M. Dianne Murphy]]. This was responded to by CCSC President Daphne Chen, who asked Bollinger to "really speak to us" in a Spectator op-ed.

He loves the word "global" and uses it about five times in each sentence.

Asked by The Daily Beast what book everyone must read before graduating college, Bollinger said, "Montaigne’s Essays. Why? Because they teach you how to learn, how to observe the peculiarities of life, how to be a good friend, how to know and be honest about yourself—and how to spend the last years of your life once you have done your part to make the world a slightly better place."<ref>http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/06/04/the-books-everyone-must-read-before-graduating-college.html</ref> Because it would have been pretty embarrassing if he'd mentioned a book that wasn't part of the [[Core]].

Bollinger's salary was $1.93 million in 2010, which made him the 7th highest-earning college president.

His favorite TV shows are Mad Men, Saturday Night Live, the Wire, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. He has gone hiking in an area densely populated with grizzly bears to test his endurance. He is a fairly interesting man.

==Personal Life and Early Career==

Bollinger was born April 30, 1946 in Santa Rosa, CA, the son of Lee and Pat Bollinger. He received a B.S. in intellectual history from the University of Oregon in 1968, where he met his future wife Jean. They moved east to Columbia University where Lee attended law school and Jean received a masters degree in curriculum and teaching from Teachers College <ref> http://www.columbia.edu/cu/alumni/Magazine/Fall2002/Bollinger.html </ref>. They were married in 1968.

After graduating, Bollinger clerked for the Court of Appeals and then for Chief Justice Warren Berger. He taught at University of Michigan's law school in 1978 and became dean of the law school in 1987. He became provost of Dartmouth College in 1994, and then president of University of Michigan in 1997.

Bollinger has a son and a daughter with [[Jean Magnano Bollinger]], Carey and Lee Carroll. Carey Jean Bollinger graduated from Harvard in 1998 and from Columbia Law. She is on a leave of absence from a doctoral program in research psychology at Teachers College. <ref> http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/22/fashion/weddings/carey-bollinger-benjamin-danielson-weddings.html?_r=0 </ref> Lee Carroll Bollinger graduated from Berkeley, and received his law degree from University of Michigan, and an LLM from New York University. <ref> http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/22/fashion/weddings/carey-bollinger-benjamin-danielson-weddings.html?_r=0 </ref>
