One of the original \"Colonial Nine\" schools, Columbia's distinctive history has been intertwined with the history of New York City. Located first in lower Manhattan, then in midtown, and now in Morningside Heights, Columbia's national and international stature have been inextricably identified with its urban setting. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eColumbia was the first of America's \"multiversities,\" moving beyond its original character as a college dedicated to undergraduate instruction to offer a comprehensive program in professional and graduate studies. Medicine, law, architecture, and journalism have all looked to the graduates and faculty of Columbia's schools to provide for their ongoing leadership and vitality. In 2003, a sampling of Columbia alumni include one member of the United States Supreme Court, three United States senators, three congressmen, three governors (New York, New Jersey, and California), a chief justice of the New York Court of Appeals, and a president of the New York City Board of Education. But it is perhaps as a contributor of ideas and voices to the broad discourse of American intellectual life that Columbia has most distinguished itself. From \u003ci\u003eThe Federalist Papers, \u003c\/i\u003e written by Columbians John Jay and Alexander Hamilton, to Charles Beard's \u003ci\u003eAn Economic Interpretation of the Constitution\u003c\/i\u003e and Jack Kerouac's \u003ci\u003eOn the Road\u003c\/i\u003e to Edward Said's \u003ci\u003eOrientalism, \u003c\/i\u003e Columbia and its graduates have greatly influenced American intellectual and public life. \u003ci\u003eStand, Columbia\u003c\/i\u003e also examines the experiences of immigrants, women, Jews, African Americans, and other groups as it takes critical measure of the University's efforts to become more inclusive and more reflective of the diverse city that it calls home.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert McCaughey is the chairman of the Barnard History Department and the former dean of the faculty of Barnard College.
