The New School, (main entrance on 12th Street). The most interesting thing I read about it was that it was founded in 1919, at least in part, as a result of Columbia's joining in the national paranoia and fear during and after World War I. One of the founders was Charles Beard who resigned from Columbia in protest of its firing of a noted professor, James McKeen Cattell, for his opposition to military conscription.

Ninety years old now. Can we still call it New?
