@i took back the night by sleeping.
@Why are we so eager to correct him?
Personally, I like to think that Columbia came before Columbus. We’d be more original and not named after some prick.
@Anonymous LOLLERSKATES. 1407. I am slain.
@Anonymous “Low Library, built in 1875”.
Uh, you’re off by 20 years. Unless you were going for irony. Yeah, that’s it, irony.

@no no low library–how it is today– was built in 1895, it was designed after buildings at the World Expo in 1893 in Chicago and had the same architect (or some sort of designer–unsure on that pt).

@Anonymous Low Library was done by McKim, Mead, and White, like most of the other non-hideous buildings on campus (except Butler).
@Anonymous why can’t the low rotunda be like that now? it’s pretty much unused, we need more study space, and that’s fuckin beautiful
@Anonymous not even CLOSE to unused. you’re just never invited to things there or participate in the community enough. or you could try going on a hunger strike to get your way too …
@Anonymous but there’s all that empty space overhead! You can easily fit in a five story cubicle farm in there.
