We've been around for a while.
As the second-oldest daily college newspaper (established 1877, independent since 1962) Spectator’s seen a lot, from the ’68 riots, to Columbia College going co-ed, to the very first Varsity Show.
Now you can too. After three years of fundraising, archival work—and help from Columbia University Libraries—our digital archive is now searchable, scannable, and ready to read.
