Preparations are now being made at Columbia for the celebration on the 13th of April of the centennial of the present corporation. Columbia College was chartered as King's College on the 31st of October, 1754. During the Revolution, when New York was captured by the English, the college was closed. In 1784 the State Legislature of New York passed an act which changes the name of the college to Columbia College and placed it under the control of a body entitled the "Regents of the University of New York." On the 13th of April, 1787 the State Legislature repealed the act of 1784, reviewed and confirmed, with certain necessary alterations, the royal charter of 1754, decreed, "that the college thereby established shall be henceforth called Columbia College" and placed it in charge of trustees of its own.
