AROUND THE QUADS

Milstein Honored at Library

Phil Milstein ’71, whose generous donation helped make possible the beautifully renovated Philip L. Milstein Family College Library, was honored on November 7 with the unveiling of a plaque just to the right of the main entrance in Butler Library. Milstein spoke of the library as a place that is central to the College experience, and President Lee C. Bollinger echoed that thought by describing the Milstein Family Library as “the center of student academic and social life.” Dean Austin Quigley observed, “It is characteristic of the Milstein family that, when considering a major gift to Columbia, they focused on a project that would make the most difference to the most students,” and called the library “an indispensable resource in the life of our entire community.” Shown above (from left) are Dean Quigley, Milstein’s wife Cheryl ’81 Barnard, daughter Meredith, son Lawrence, Milstein, mother Vivian, President Bollinger and niece Abby Black Elbaum ’92.
