The Comet, 1854
To request this volume, please contact uarchives@columbia.edu.
This is believed to be Columbia's oldest undergraduate annual (or what we now know as a yearbook). It was published by the Class of 1856 as sophomores in 1854. The small 8-page publication includes a list of the class members, each accompanied by their fraternity association and their affiliation with one of the two literary societies, Peithologian and Philolexian. There are editorials, poems, and other writings. To learn more about The Comet, see Robert Arrowsmith's "Reappearance of the Comet. A New Old Student Publication," Columbia Alumni News, XVII, 1927 March 4, 408-409. Call number CP1 C739
The Columbiad
Published by the junior class of Columbia College, the Columbiad dates back to 1864. Back then it was a 4-sheet publication, which listed the names of students, faculty members, trustees, as well as the names of the officers of Philolexian and Peithologian. In 1868 there was a disagreement between the editors and two volumes were published by rival fraternities. The old form of 4 sheets (48 cm) was published by the Delta Phi; the "new" form (23.5 cm) adopted by Psi Upsilon obtained official recognition of the class and was continued. The 1880 edition was the first to include illustrations.

The Columbian
The Columbia College School of Arts yearbook, The Columbiad, changed its title to The Columbian when it started to include the School of Mines students in 1891.

No yearbook was published in 1946.
