EDITORS COMMENTS
New York University: A Beacon of Intellectual Pursuit in the Heart of New York City This photograph captures the historic New York University (NYU) campus, once known as the University of the City of New York, nestled on the northeast corner of the Washington Military Parade Ground in the late 19th century. Founded in 1831 as an innovative, non-denominational school, NYU was initially located in a grand intellectual castle that stood as a testament to the city's commitment to higher education. The University's rich history began when it was established with the belief that education should be accessible to all, regardless of religious affiliation. Its unique location on the parade ground, a former military installation, added an air of prestige and exclusivity to the institution. As the city grew and evolved, so did NYU. Today, it is one of America's largest private universities, with over 50 buildings scattered throughout the five boroughs. The university's growth reflects the dynamic nature of New York City itself, as it continues to adapt and thrive in the ever-changing urban landscape. This photograph, taken circa 1900, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the University's beautiful architecture and the bustling energy of the city that surrounds it. The image is part of the Box 160 Modern New York collection in the Boswell Collection, providing a valuable record of New York City's history and the role that NYU has played in shaping it.
