This book presents the original charters granted by George II and George III to King's College, later renamed Columbia University, one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions of higher learning in the United States. The initial charter from 1754 aimed to establish a college in New York that would offer education in the liberal arts and sciences and serve the educational needs of the city and the broader region. A later charter in 1784 expanded the institution's mission and transformed it into a university authorized to grant degrees in a wide range of disciplines. These charters laid the foundation for the development of Columbia University as a center of academic excellence and a driving force behind the intellectual and cultural growth of New York City and the United States as a whole.
