 '''Hartley Hall''' is one of the two residence halls that make up the [[Living Learning Center]]. It was built in [[1904]] and is the oldest residence hall on campus.  It is noted for having the narrowest double on campus, 2C5, where a tall man (or woman) can touch two walls at any point in the room.

 ==History==
 Hartley Hall is Columbia's first and oldest dormitory. Opening in 1905, the building was donated by senior [[Marcellus Hartley Dodge]] (and his aunt, [[Helen Hartley Jenkins]]) on the event of his gradaution. Dodge thereby condemned all future [[Senior Fund]] collection drives to exercises in futility. Spurred by the gift, the University coughed up an equal amount of money from it's own funds to construct a twin dormitory, [[Livingston Hall]] (now known as [[Wallach Hall]]).
-It should also be noted that Hartley, and its twin, [[Wallach]], were dedicated exclusively to undergraduate housing, a rather odd move in the days when Columbia was still considering shutting down the College outright ([[SEAS]], or rather the School of Mines, was still a graduate-and-professional faculty, and a fairly profitable one at that, and thus was spared the budgeter's wrath).

 Until [[1970]], the building housed a lounge for students in the now-banished [[ROTC]] program. It was taken over in that year by black student activists and renamed the [[Malcolm X Lounge]].
