| − | The '''''Columbian''''' is the official [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yearbook yearbook] of [[Columbia College]] and [[SEAS]]. The book is produced over the course of the academic year by the staff of the Columbian. The staff members of the ''Columbian'' are CC or SEAS undergraduates who join the yearbook staff, which functions much like any other student organization. However, the ''Columbian'' does not fall under any of the five [[governing boards]] at Columbia, and instead reports directly to [[Student Development and Activities]] (SDA).

| − | In 1890, the then junior class of 1891 published its first annual, titling it "The Columbian." In subsequent years each junior class titled their publication The Columbian, which eventually became the sole yearbook. Today, The Columbian takes the establishment date of its predecessors as its own date of founding. 2010 marks the 162nd continuous year of publication of a student annual on campus, predating the ''[[Columbia Daily Spectator]]'', as well as every other collegiate yearbook, with the exception of Harvard's ''Crimson''.
