Excerpt from Catalogue Number: For the Sessions of 1929-1930 In 1784, the Legislature of the State of New York passed an act incorporating the regents OF the university OF the state OF new york, vesting the property of King's College in the Regents, and changing the name of the College to Columbia College. In 1787, this act was repealed, and an act was passed, confirming the Royal Charter of 1754, and vesting the property and franchises of King's College in The Trustees of Columbia College in the City of New York. In 1810, the charter was again amended in certain particulars at the request of the Trustees, and re-enacted, but the corporate title remained the same until 1912 when by order of the Supreme Court of the State of New York it was changed to T he Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. In 1897 the University removed from Forty-ninth Street and Madison Avenue, where it had been situated since 1857, to its present location on Morningside Heights.
