Founded in 1889, it has been affiliated with Columbia University since 1900. Barnard's 4-acre (1.6 ha) campus stretches along Broadway between 116th and 120th Streets in the Morningside Heights neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan , in New York City . It is directly across Broadway from Columbia's campus and near several other academic institutions and has been used by Barnard since 1898.History [ edit ] The entrance to Barnard HallColumbia College, Columbia University admitted only men for undergraduate study for 229 years. [3] Barnard College was founded to provide an undergraduate education for women comparable to that of Columbia and other Ivy League schools. The college was named after Frederick Augustus Porter Barnard , an American educator and mathematician, who served as the tenth president of Columbia from 1864 to 1889. He advocated equal educational privileges for men and women, preferably in a coeducational setting, and began proposing in 1879 that Columbia admit women. [4]The board of trustees repeatedly rejected Barnard's suggestion, [4] but in 1883 agreed to create a detailed syllabus of study for women. While they could not attend Columbia classes, those who passed examinations based on the syllabus would receive a degree. The first such woman graduate received her bachelor's degree in 1887. A former student of the program, Annie Nathan Meyer , [5] and other prominent New York women persuaded the board in 1889 to create a women's college connected to Columbia. [4]Barnard College's original 1889 home was a rented brownstone at 343 Madison Avenue, where a faculty of six offered instruction to 14 students in the School of Arts, as well as to 22 "specials", who lacked the entrance requirements in Greek and so enrolled in science. When Columbia University announced in 1892 its impending move to Morningside Heights, Barnard built a new campus on 119th-120th Streets with gifts from Mary E. Brinckerhoff, Elizabeth Milbank Anderson and Martha T. Fiske. Milbank, Brinckerhoff, and Fiske Halls , built in 1897-1898, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. [6]Ella Weed supervised the college in its first four years; Emily James Smith succeeded her as Barnard's first dean. [4] As the college grew it needed additional space, and in 1903 it received the three blocks south of 119th Street from Anderson who had purchased a former portion of the Bloomingdale Asylum site from the New York Hospital. [7] By the mid-20th century Barnard had succeeded in its original goal of providing an elite education to women. Between 1920 and 1974, only the much larger Hunter College and University of California, Berkeley produced more women graduates who later received doctorate degrees. [8]Students' Hall , now known as Barnard Hall, was built in 1916. Brooks and Hewitt Halls were built in 1906-1907 and 1926-1927, respectively. [9] They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. [6]Jessica Garretson Finch is credited with coining the phrase, "current events," while teaching at Barnard College in the 1890s. [10]Relationship with Columbia University [ edit ] Hewitt Hall, a dormitoryBarnard president Debora Spar said in 2012, "the relationship [between Barnard and Columbia] is admittedly a complicated one, a unique one and one that may take a few sentences to explain to the outside community". [11] The college's front gates state Barnard College of Columbia University . [12] Barnard describes itself as "both an independently incorporated educational institution and an official college of Columbia University", [13] and advises students to state "Barnard College, Columbia University" or "Barnard College of Columbia University" on résumés. [14] Columbia describes Barnard as an affiliated institution [15] that is a faculty of the university [16] or is "in partnership with" it. [17]The New York Times called Barnard "an undergraduate women's college of Columbia University", [18] and an academic journal described Barnard as a former affiliate that became a school within the university. [4] Facebook includes Barnard students and alumnae within the Columbia interest group. [19] Both the college and Columbia evaluate Barnard faculty for tenure, [20] and Barnard graduates receive Columbia University diplomas signed by both the Barnard and Columbia presidents. [21]Smith and Columbia president Seth Low worked to open Columbia classes to Barnard students. By 1900 they could attend Columbia classes in philosophy, political science, and several scientific fields. [4] That year Barnard formalized an affiliation with the university which made available to its students the instruction and facilities of Columbia. [13] Franz Boas , who taught at both Columbia and Barnard in the early 1900s, was among those faculty members who reportedly found Barnard students superior to their male Columbia counterparts. [8] From 1955 Columbia and Barnard students could register for the other school's classes with the permission of the instructor; from 1973 no permission was needed. [5]By the 1940s other undergraduate and graduate divisions of Columbia University admitted women. [3] Columbia president William J. McGill predicted in 1970 that Barnard College and Columbia College would merge within five years. [22] Columbia's financial difficulties during the 1970s increased its desire to merge, [23] but Barnard resisted doing so because of the university's large debt. [24] After a decade of failed negotiations for a merger with Barnard akin to the one between Harvard College and Radcliffe College , Columbia College instead began admitting women in 1983. [25] [3] Applications to Columbia rose 56% that year, making admission more selective, and nine Barnard students transferred to Columbia. Eight students admitted to both Columbia and Barnard chose Barnard, while 78 chose Columbia. [26] Within a few years, however, selectivity rose at both schools as they received more women applicants than expected. [3]The Columbia-Barnard affiliation continued. [25] As of 2012 Barnard pays Columbia about $5 million a year under the terms of the "interoperate relationship", which the two schools renegotiate every 15 years. [11] Despite the affiliation Barnard is legally and financially separate from Columbia, with an independent faculty and board of trustees. It is responsible for its own separate admissions, health, security, guidance and placement services, and has its own alumnae association. Nonetheless, Barnard students participate in the academic, social, athletic and extracurricular life of the broader University community on a reciprocal basis. The affiliation permits the two schools to share some academic resources; for example, only Barnard has an urban studies department, and only Columbia has a computer science department. Most Columbia classes are open to Barnard students and vice versa. Barnard students and faculty are represented in the University Senate, and student organizations such as the Columbia Daily Spectator are open to all students. Barnard students play on Columbia athletics teams, and Barnard uses Columbia email, telephone and network services.
