Excerpt from An Account of the Celebration of the First Semi-Centennial Anniversary: Of the Incorporation of Columbia College, by the Legislature of New-York, With the Oration and Poem, Delivered on the Occasion On the thirty-first of October, 1754, a royal charter passed the great seal of England for incorporating "King's College in the city of New-York;" from which period the existence of the present College is properly to be dated. But in the course of the revolutionary war, the institution was almost entirely broken up, and it was several years subsequent to the peace before it was fully restored. In May, 1784, all the public seminaries of learning in the state were, by an act of the legislature, placed under the government of a corporate body, styled "the Regents of the University," who immediately proceeded to regulate the affairs of this, the only College then existing in the state, the name of which was, by the same act, changed to "Columbia College."
