Philosophy Hall
The building that forms the eastern side of the small quad between Buell Hall, St. Paul's Chapel and Kent Hall. An authentic bronze cast of Rodin's The Thinker is right outside. Edwin Armstrong invented FM radio here. Until the early 1960s, a rifle range was maintained in the basement for Columbia's ROTC programs. Nowadays you can find the offices of the English Department, the French Department, Student Services, Work Study, and, of course, the Philosophy Department. Edward Said's office was here, and tourists sometimes come by looking for it, leaving offended when they hear it's been reassigned.
