The Trustees' baller hideout inside Low Library. The portrait over the fireplace is of the first president of King's College, Samuel Johnson
The Board of Trustees truly pwn the university, and meet in their own special power-trippy room of Low Library once in awhile. Campus is always made spiffy clean for their semi-regular summits.
Among their other duties, it is the trustees who have the true power to grant degrees to any Columbia school or affiliated institution (although Barnard has its own trustees, only Columbia's can confer degrees to Barnard students). Degrees accordingly begin with (in English variations) "The Trustees of Columbia University" or (in Latin variations) "Curatores Universitatis Columbiae".
