Excerpt from Proceedings at the Inauguration of Frederick A P. Barnard S. T. D., LL. D: As President of Columbia College, on Monday, October 3, 1864 At the stated meeting of the Trustees of Columbia College, in March, A.D. 1864, the President of the College, Charles King, LL.D., tendered to the Board his resignation of the office which he held, in the following letter: - Dear Sir, - In pursuance of the purpose announced by me yesterday at the meeting of the Trustees, I hereby tender my resignation of the office of President of Columbia College, to take effect at a period not, later than the next Commencement, at the close of the month of June, or at any earlier date that may possibly be deemed advantageous for the College. I am admonished by advancing years of the need of repose, and feel that the daily responsibilities and cares of the Presidency are becoming too burdensome.

Book Description
A groundbreaking exploration of the intertwined histories of slavery, racism, and higher education in America, from a leading African American historian. A 2006 report commissioned by Brown University revealed that institution's complex and contested involvement in slavery--setting off a controversy that leapt from the ivory tower to make headlines across the country. But Brown's troubling past was far from unique. In Ebony and Ivy, Craig Steven Wilder, a rising star in the profession of history, lays bare uncomfortable truths about race, slavery, and the American academy. Many of America's revered colleges and universities--from Harvard, Yale, and Princeton to Rutgers, Williams College, and UNC--were soaked in the sweat, the tears, and sometimes the blood of people of color. Slavery funded colleges, built campuses, and paid the wages of professors. Enslaved Americans waited on faculty and students; academic leaders aggressively courted the support of slave owners and slave traders. Significantly, as Wilder shows, our leading universities, dependent on human bondage, became breeding grounds for the racist ideas that sustained them. Ebony and Ivy is a powerful and propulsive study and the first of its kind, revealing a history of oppression behind the institutions usually considered the cradle of liberal politics.
