See also Wikipedia's article about "Columbia University".

Columbia University was founded as King's College in 1754. King's College was renamed Columbia College after the American Revolution - a decidedly patriotic name. Other colleges were then founded, but Columbia College still referred to the undergraduate institution. Thus, Columbia University was incorporated.
