CNN —Columbia University’s graduating class of 1968 was no stranger to protests. Graffiti on a blackboard at some point after protests began on April 23, 1968 at Columbia University in New York. Activist Mark Rudd, center, president of Students for a Democratic Society, addresses students at Columbia University on May 3, 1968. Students supporting the Columbia University sit-in and counter-demonstrators engage in a short-lived free-for-all outside Low Library at Columbia University on April 29, 1968. Although it took Columbia University years to recover and reestablish trust between the administration and the student body, several key changes emerged after the 1968 protests.

☆ ‘The Pathway I Was Walking on Was Next to a Fenced-In Basketball Court’

ImageBuzzing AlongDear Diary:I was walking home from the subway station at 125th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue, enjoying the latest in a string of warm, breezy, late-spring days. The pathway I was walking on was next to a fenced-in basketball court where some children were shooting hoops while others watched. A girl who looked to be 10 or 11 was sitting at the base of the fence with her back to me as I approached and then passed her. All of a sudden, she started to jerk her head from left to right and back while fanning her ears. As she was making these motions, she looked over her shoulder toward me and discovered where the buzzing sound was coming from.

☆ At a Manhattan Park With a Troubled History, a Promising Research Site

On a sticky July afternoon, as the sun beat down and the temperature climbed into the high 80s, several dozen people gathered on the banks of a murky pond in Morningside Park in Manhattan to talk about a slimy green problem. The pond, built in 1989, is a highlight of the leafy park, which runs for 13 blocks through Harlem and Morningside Heights. But in recent years, it has turned a sickly shade of green as algae has overtaken its surface. And on this Saturday, scientists from Columbia University and the city’s Parks Department began a new research effort at the site into the spread of harmful algae blooms worldwide. For the university, the project represents a new chapter in its complicated and sometimes tense relationship with the surrounding community over this section of the park.
