Here’s footage showing Columbia University during the mid-to-late 2000s.

The clip begins with close-ups of the Low Memorial Library and its facade, which is bolstered by ten stately capitals. Above the capitals, at the base of the library’s roof, we see the words, “THE LIBRARY OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.”

A wide shot of the library shows hundreds of people sitting on the library’s front steps. People are milling about and talking. It seems like it is summer with so many people outside, enjoying the weather and enjoying being around strangers and colleagues. The sky is a mix of deep blue and baby blue, and not a cloud is to be seen.

There is a wide, expansive shot of the quad, i.e. the area that sits immediately before Low Memorial library.

The clip ends with a wide shot of the Jerome L. Greene Hall, home of Columbia Law School and the Li Lu Law Library.
