1754 Society

The 1754 Society is an honorary society for alumni, parents and friends of Columbia who have made plans for the University through trust, estate or other future gifts. Named for the year in which King’s College was established, the Society recognizes the vital role benefactors have played over the centuries in Columbia’s emergence as a preeminent educational institution and the role they play today in ensuring its continued preeminence. New members in Fiscal Year 2014–2015 are indicated by an asterisk.
