The '''''Columbian''''' is the official [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yearbook yearbook] of [[Columbia College]] and [[SEAS]]. The book is produced over the course of the academic year by the staff of the Columbian. The staff members of the ''Columbian'' are CC or SEAS undergraduates who join the yearbook staff, which functions much like any other student organization. However, the ''Columbian'' does not fall under any of the five [[governing boards]] at Columbia, and instead reports directly to [[Student Development and Activities]] (SDA).

Previous volumes of the ''Columbian'' are available for viewing in the [[Columbiana Collection]] of the [[University Archives]] in [[Butler Library]], and in the [[Columbia Alumni Center]] on W. 113th Street.

== Publication ==
The book is published annually by Josten's of Pennsylvania. The book usually consists of roughly 350 to 400 pages, including portraits of the graduating class (or at least those who opt to sit for a portrait in the fall of their senior year), along with names and majors. The book traditionally measures nine by twelve inches and is bound in a hardcover. The cover art of the book varies from volume to volume at the discretion of the editor-in-chief and staff.

==History==
The Columbian traces its roots back to 1848, the first year a something that resembled a "College Annual" was published at Columbia. In 1848 the senior class published an "[[Annual Catalogue of the Officers and Students of Columbia College]]" including a list of graduates, members of the societies on campus, and overall enrollment at the College. It was inspired by a

In 1890, the then junior class of 1891 published its first annual, titling it "The Columbian." In subsequent years each junior class titled their publication The Columbian, which eventually became the sole yearbook. Today, The Columbian takes the establishment date of its predecessors as its own date of founding. 2010 marks the 162nd continuous year of publication of a student annual on campus, predating the ''[[Columbia Daily Spectator]]'', as well as every other collegiate yearbook, with the exception of Harvard's ''Crimson''.
