Greenwich Village

2007-06-23T22:00:26Z

Xandrious:

'''Greenwich Village''' (more often known as '''The Village''', sometimes in conjunction with the [[East Village|East]] and [[West Village|West Villages]]) is [[NYU]]'s neighborhood. At times more upscale and at times more seedy than [[Morningside Heights]], it is acknowledged by all to be much more fun. If your stash is running low, [[Washington Square Park]] is a good place to start.

Originally, Greenwich Village was an area where local artists lived and worked. Due to their presence, the neighborhood because popularized and was considered "hip". Ironically enough, this let to the eviction of most true artists ([[gentrification]] at its finest).

Xandrious:

Some, (okay, maybe most) of Columbia's most famous students never actually graduated. That's right, a Columbia education is SO good, that you don't even need a full 4 years to take the world by storm!

* [[Alexander Hamilton]] (joined the Revolutionary War)
* [[Lou Gehrig]] (Signed a contract with the Yankees and bolted)
* [[Langston Hughes]] (Mining- That's right, one of the great american poets was a [[SEAS]] drop-out...)
* [[Eudora Welty]] (Business)
* [[Jack Kerouac]]
* [[Alicia Keys]]
* [[Lauryn Hill]]
* Jake Gyllenhaal
* Isamu Noguchi (Famous Sculptor. Dropped out of CC's Premed program to sculpt full-time)
* José Raúl Capablanca (World Chess Champion, 1921-1927. Dropped out of Mining after one semester because he spent too much time playing chess)
* Mortimer J. Adler (Spread the gospel of the [[Core Curriculum]] to the University of Chicago and St. John's College in Annapolis. Didn't bother to take the Swim test, and came back to teach Core classes with [[John Erskine]])
* [[Theodore Roosevelt]] (Law School, elected to State Assembly)
* [[Franklin Roosevelt]] (Law School, passed the Bar)
* [[Utada Hikaru]]
*[[John Parke Custis]], [[George Washington]]'s stepson

Alexander Hamilton

[[Image:AlexanderHamiltonByJohnTrumbull1806.jpg|thumb|240px|From Wikipedia's article on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_University Columbia University]]]

'''Alexander Hamilton''' failed to graduate from Columbia's predecessor, [[King's College]], over 220 years ago. (Really, it wasn't his fault. While many maintain Hamilton was a dropout, he only left because the school closed during the Revolutionary War). He remains the most famous person ever associated with the school. Even though he never got a degree and it wasn't even called Columbia at the time.

Hamilton was originally interested in attending [[Princeton University|Princeton]] (then hideously named the "College of New Jersey"), but was rejected. When he became a general during the Revolutionary War, he famously ordered a cannonball fired at Princeton's Nassau Hall when a battle was taking place on the college's campus.

A proud pseudo-alumnus, Hamilton was instrumental, with [[John Jay]], in reinstating King's as [[Columbia College]] when the war was over.

[[Hamilton|Hamilton Hall]] is named after him, and that statue outside Hamilton, yeah, that's him too. You might have also seen him featured on the $10 bill. Oh, and he was murdered in cold blood by the sinister [[Aaron Burr]], who happened to be a graduate of darkest [[Princeton University|Princeton]].

Literature Humanities

2007-06-01T06:46:28Z

Xandrious: /* Lit Hum II lite */

Sing, Muse. '''Literature Humanities''' is popularly known as '''Lit Hum'''. "Hum" rhymes with "bum", not "Hume".

The course is taken by all [[Columbia College]] first years. The first semester covers mainly Greek literature, with some Bible-stuff at the end. The second semester starts with Virgil and ends with Virginia Woolf. For your convenience, we have prepared a "lite" guide to the course. That said, you probably won't get most of it until you've actually done the reading.

== Lit Hum I lite ==

*Achilles is a whiny momma's Boy
*Odysseus has crazy sex appeal
*Herodotus makes stuff up
*Thucydidies likes to think he's a real historian. Makes up quotes.
*Oedipus loved his Mother.
*Clytemnestra is a stone cold bitch
*Medea is a psycho femi-nazi
*The greeks had sex with little boys. And Socrates makes stuff up.
*The old testament God is schizophrenic
*It sucks to be Job

== Lit Hum II lite ==

* '''The Aeneid''' is an epic poem, most of it plagiarism, by Virgil. Remember Aeneas the Trojan from back in September? Probably not. He travels to Italy and fights a battle, thus founding Rome. It's two for the price of one; you get an Iliad and an Odyssey. Sadly, however, Aeneas is the pussiest hero in all of literature.
* Babies are evil!
* Which circle of hell will your i-banker and lawyer parents go to?
* Ten people had an orgy in the countryside.
* Find out all about my medieval eating and shitting schedule.
* Time for some '''Shakespeare'''. In '''King Lear''' a dozen characters get seriously fucked up when the King stupidly decides to retire. Lesson: work till you drop. In '''Hamlet''' you discover that the protagonist is deep down just a poor emo kid.
* Don Quixote's fucked up too.
* A woman's place is in marriage (and in the kitchen - make me a sammich, Barnard girl!). Don't elope.
* Murderer!
* Time passes. There's a window. More time passes. There's a painting. More time passes. Welcome to the boring world of modernist garbage.

Core Curriculum

2007-06-01T06:40:01Z

Xandrious: /* Background */

{{Construction}}

The '''Core Curriculum''' is the distinguishing characteristic and hallmark of an undergraduate education at Columbia. Often imitated, rarely credited, and very hyped, the Core is the centerpiece of the undergraduate curriculum at [[Columbia College]]. [[SEAS]] students take a modified version of the core, as do [[GS]] students. Barnard College has an entirely seperate curriculum, built around the [[Ways of Knowing]].

== Requirements ==
The Core consists of two sets of requirements. First are the 6 classes that every [[Columbia College|CC]] student must take in order to graduate, a collective, shared, experience, the "core of the core," so to speak. These are the year long courses [[Literature Humanities|Literature Humanities (Lit Hum)]] and [[Contemporary Civilization|Contemporary Civilization (CC)]], and the semester long courses [[Art Humanities|Art Humanities (Art Hum)]], [[Music Humanities|Music Humanities (Music Hum)]], [[University Writing|University Writing (UW)]], and [[Frontiers of Science]].

Additionally, [[Columbia College|CC]] students must fulfill a series of requirements for which they are free to choose the classes. These are 2 [[Major Cultures]] classes, 2 semesters of Science/Math, 2 semesters of PE, 4 semesters of a Foreign Language (placement in an advanced course/placing out are options), and of course the [[Swim Test]].

All this adds up to a lot of credits. The required 6 classes alone are a minimum of 29 credits. Major Cultures is a minimum of 7, 2 science courses are 6 more, and PE is at least 2 half credits. That's 43 credits, or more than 1/3 of your degree requirements if you placed out of foreign languages. Add 4 semesters of that and you're well on your way to having half the necessary credits to graduate with narry a mention of electives or major.

== Registration ==
Freshmen are assigned a section of [[Lit Hum]] and either [[University Writing]] (if your last name is in the first half of the class alphabetically) or [[Frontiers of Science]] (if you're last name is the second half of the class alphabetically) for the Fall. You can change your section if it conflicts with other classes during the pre-semester registration period on Labor Day Weekend, however since all sections are already filled, you won't have much flexibility. In the spring semester freshmen must register for all of their classes, including Lit Hum and UW or Frontiers. Most students will opt to register for the same section of Lit Hum or CC the second semester for continuity, since with rare exception the same instructor teaches a section both the fall and spring.

You will not know the name of your instructor for Core classes until classes start. Columbia does not disclose the names of each sections instructors in order to "level the playing field" in terms of getting a good instructor. It should say something about the uneven quality of instruction in core classes that this policy even needs to exist. There are some workarounds.

After fall of freshmen year, and with all core classes other than Lit Hum and UW/Frontiers, you register on your own. Getting a section of Art Hum or Music Hum as a freshman is difficult, and requires a little luck and a good registration time. Most students advocate registering for art hum and music hum every semester, finding out the instructor on the first day, checking [[CULPA]], and then dropping the course if you're unhappy, and repeating until you land a good section, or find yourself on the verge of graduating.

== Criticism ==
Despite the hype and praise, the Core has a number of critics. The primary charge levelled against the Core is that it's just a collection of "Dead White Men" with a few token minority and women authors.

In addition, the Core is hardly a uniformly positive experience. Your experience in each class will be contingent on two factors: 1) The quality of your instructor and 2) the quality of your classmates. Don't underestimate the impact that the 20 other people in the room can have on your class experience. A good group of classmates can easily redeem a class with an average teacher.

A common complaint about Core classes is the relatively high percentage of sections that are NOT taught by Columbia faculty, and instead are led by graduate students ("Preceptors" is the official term). Landing a section with a graduate student is not the kiss of death- in fact some of the best core class instructors are grad students, and some of the worst are high profile professors.

=== Lit Hum ===
*In Spring 2007, 9 of 58 sections of Lit Hum are being taught by Senior Faculty, including one taught by a retired professor and another by an assistant dean at the Law School, another taught by a visiting professor from the University of Chicago, and another faculty member teaching only section open to GS students.
*17 are being taught by junior faculty, of whom 2 are temporary appointments, 1 is a post-doc fellow, and only 2 hold the more seniors Associate status. *9 sections are taught by graduate students
*15 are taught by 10 instructional lecturers, 5 of whom teach 2 sections each.
*8 Section leaders are not in the directory.

=== CC ===

=== Art Hum ===
*In Spring 2007 only 3 of 30 sections of Art Humanities were taught by Columbia professors, including 1 temporary appointment.
*The rest were taught by 16 graduate students, 4 post-doctoral fellows, 2 "Lecturers" (including one who's listed as a student at the School of Continuing Education), and 4 unlisted in the directory but not listed on the department faculty page either.

=== Music Hum ===

The Core will ultimately be what you make of it. If you don't do the reading, it's your own fault for finding the classes boring. Then again if your instructor sucks, just grin and bear it, or beg the core office to change your section.

== History ==

=== Background ===
In the late 19th century, American institutes of higher learning were undergoing a period of major change, as each experienced a "university movement", turning colleges into graduate research centers. This move prompted stiff resistance by involved alumni at a number of schools. The resistance proved so strong at [[Princeton]] that to this day Princeton has no Business, Law, or Medical school, among other graduate programs. At [[Harvard]], President Charles William Eliot developed a compromise- the elective system. Faculty would be allowed to pursue their own research so long as they taught undergraduates classes in their specialization. This spared senior faculty the onerous task of teaching introductory courses, while satisfying alumni that undergraduate education still received the attention of the university.

At Columbia, there was no such problem of alumni resistance. The relatively small and disenfranchised alumni base proved no obstacle, and Columbia skipped the 'elective system' phase of education. The lack of opposition was in part the reason for Columbia's meteoric rise as a University. The lack of an elective system, and a college faculty somewhat estranged from the graduate faculty led to the development of an innovative new type of curriculum, General Education. Columbia would pioneer this new form of mandatory course education, eventually exporting it to a number of schools around the nation.

=== The beginning ===
The idea of a seminar style class devoted to a weekly reading and discussion of the "Great Books" was first floated by english professor [[John Erskine]] in 1917. Erskine's request drew skepticism for a number of reasons, not the least because he also made the near-heretical call for reading the greek and roman classics in translation.

In 1919 Columbia began a course titled "War Issues" in response to World War I, addressing contemporary thinking on a wide variety of subjects in the social sciences. Many of the texts were written by Columbia faculty members who also taught the classes. This was the beginning of the course that evolved into [[Contemporary Civilization]]. There was no Plato or Aristotle on the War Issues syllabus though.

=== General Honors ===

=== Humanities A and Humanities B ===

=== Major Cultures ===

Established due partly to the efforts of [[William Theodore de Bary]].

=== Frontiers of Science ===

Formally established as a requirement for all CC students for those freshmen entering in Fall [[2004]] (the Class of 2008).

== Imitators ==
Columbia's Core Curriculum has often been imitated. In fact two of the most celebrated Core Curricula in the country, at the [[University of Chicago]] and St. John's College in Annapolis, were established by a Columbia graduate, [[Mortimer J. Adler]], who had been hired by each school for the explicit purpose of implementing a "Great Books" curriculum.

Anything else that dares call itself a "Core Curriculum" is either watered-down or basically a [[distribution requirement]].

'''Labyrinth''' is a bookstore on 112th St. between [[Broadway]] and [[Amsterdam Avenue]]

== Textbooks ==

Most students in humanities classes are forced to use Labyrinth because their professors decided to support this mom & pop operation, rather than the [[Columbia Bookstore]]. In any case, it has friendlier, more helpful staff, but like all off-campus locales, does not take [[Flex]], forcing students to use real money they can't just bill their parents for on the fly.

At the beginning of each semester, everyone entering the store is accosted by a clerk demanding he or she surrender their bag. The second floor of Labyrinth will be arranged so students can find books by course, and roving salespeople will be more than willing to help should this still prove challenging. Business gets a little crazy at the beginning of the semester, so expect to wait in line.

== Trivia ==

Occasionally professors will launch their books at wine and cheese gatherings at the store.

Lots of people (mostly girls) tote around Labyrinth-branded bags; when you see these people outside of [[Morningside Heights]] it is safe to assume they have been affiliated with Columbia at some time, although the store recently opened a new branch in New Haven, Connecticut, home to [[Yale]]. In any case, people who wear or use Labyrinth merchandise are infinitely less annoying than those who do so with products from [[Strand]].

The '''Weathermen''' was a radical left-wing group that emerged from the [[1968 protests]]. The name was inspired by a line from the song Subterranean Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan that went “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows”. In [[1970]], they attempted to blow up [[Alma Mater]], but wound up blowing up themselves (and their [[Greenwich Village]] townhouse) instead.

Members included [[Mark Rudd]] and [[Ted Gold]]. The latter died in the townhouse blast.
