EDITORS COMMENTS
Low Memorial Library at Columbia University, New York City: A Beacon of Classical Learning (1897-1934) Low Memorial Library, a masterpiece of purely classical architecture, stands proudly at the heart of Columbia University in New York City. Completed in 1897, this grand edifice served as the main library for the prestigious institution until 1934. The library's most striking feature is its impressive granite dome, which is not only the largest all-granite dome in the country but also shaped like a Greek cross. The photograph, taken in 1906, captures the library in its full glory. To the right of the library, Buell Hall of Columbia University can be seen, adding to the architectural grandeur of the scene. The harmonious blend of classical design and modern education makes this image a testament to the rich history and intellectual pursuit that has defined Columbia University. Low Memorial Library, with its imposing presence and timeless beauty, has been a symbol of knowledge and learning for over a century. The library's intricate details, from the Corinthian columns to the ornate friezes, reflect the dedication and commitment to academic excellence that Columbia University has consistently upheld. This photograph, taken over a century ago, continues to capture the essence of a bygone era, reminding us of the enduring legacy of Columbia University and its commitment to education and the pursuit of knowledge.
