Pioneering architect Zaha Hadid died yesterday of a heart attack in Miami. She left unfinished a luxury apartment building near the High Line, and we also kind of wish she’d been able to re-design Lerner. (New York Times) New satellite imagery shows evidence that the Vikings reached the southern coast of Newfoundland. We only needed […]

Intrepid Bwogger Ross Chapman ventured to writer Mary Roach’s lecture at CU for a night of debauchery, drinking, and dirty secrets about the Department of Defense. Read on for the less-dramatized details. “Turns out, diarrhea can be a threat to national security.” Dodge 501 was filled to the brim with (mostly wine-drinking) students last night […]
Lectures around campus have already begun for the semester, and Media Maven Max Rettig went to check out a lecture on conflict journalism and the late James Foley. “I wish we had a more upbeat topic for you, but we don’t want to hide the truth from you” was the opening line of this panel […]
A significant portion of our staff was unwilling unable to attend the Tree Lighting Ceremony last night, but hey—ain’t those lights pretty? This year’s Tree Lighting has been lovingly summed up by the one staffer who actually sat through the whole thing: Singing was boring. Speeches were boring. Oh one minute of silence for Nelson […]
Drop everything and pick up a chocolate bar! Columbia’s Dr. Messerli releases the most important advancement in medical history—one that allows us to eat chocolatey treats!

Bucket List represents the unbelievable intellectual privilege we enjoy as Columbia students. We do our very best to bring to your attention important guest lecturers and special events on campus.

Less than ten minutes into his lecture in the Journalism School’s Joseph Pulitzer World Room on Thursday night, Eric Bates called out the elephant in the room. “It’s really not possible to get together in a room full of journalists anymore without talking about the profession itself,” the executive editor of Rolling Stone admitted. Standing […]

Allow us to take advantage of our ability to post at leisure, and direct your attention to the Henry Pringle Lecture, delivered by Nate Silver to the graduating class of the Journalism School early last week.

Here we go again: the Spectator is currently planning an overhaul of their website (for those curious, it’ll be the third such overhaul in four years).
