As we say farewell to Lee Bollinger’s legendary 20-year tenure as Columbia’s president, the Federalist is reminiscing on some of Prezbo’s best insights:
- “I became concerned that the grids might be misinterpreted.”
On freshmen getting lost on the 1 train during NSOP
- “Use your ignorance as well as your knowledge for creative means.”
On jumping the subway turnstile in front of a cop
- “Columbia cannot rest. There are so many important things to be done, so many areas of knowledge to be explored …”
On doing surgery on a grape
- “There are few things more precious on any university campus than freedom of thought and expression … it should be the principle we live by at Columbia University.”
