Events at Columbia in 1968 constitute the most
extensively covered campus disturbance in the history of American higher education. The
longterm impact of the news accounts and images beyond Morningside Heights can be only
suggested by the prominence that continues to be assigned to them in accounts of American
society and culture in the late 1960s. The purpose here, however, is to present materials
that will assist in achieving an understanding of Columbia '68 as a critical moment in the
long and ongoing history of Columbia University.
