During the Revolutionary War, the Battle of Harlem Heights occurred on the current site of Columbia’s Morningside Campus on Sept. 16, 1776. The battle, in which General George Washington narrowly avoided capture, is commemorated with a copper plaque on the exterior wall of the Mathematics building on the east side of campus near Broadway and 118th Street. | ||
