| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Columbia University is the fifth oldest institute of higher learning in the United States. Known as one of the "colonial colleges," Columbia boasts alumni like Franklin D. Roosevelt, Alexander Hamilton and Barack Obama. This book looks at Columbia's place in the Ivy League, the traditions that set it apart and some of the controversy the university has faced. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
