The 1883 Memorial to Columbia College Board of Trustees
The petition or “Giant Memorial” as it was called by Annie Nathan Meyer was signed by 1,410 persons who supported the idea of allowing female students to attend lectures and examinations at Columbia College. Presented to the Columbia College Board of Trustees in February of 1883, the Giant Memorial served as proof that many progressive citizens of New York favored the idea of post-secondary co-education, already established elsewhere in the United States.Through this interactive site, you can observe a portion of the original Memorial in detail and browse short biographies of notable signatories accompanied by their portraits.
