This series includes deeds to cemetery plots, room endowments in various dormitories from alumni groups, mergers and proposals between Columbia University and area hospitals, and gifts and acquisitions from John D. Rockefeller and Joseph Pulitzer regarding Rockefeller Center and the founding of the School of Journalism. Records are organized by the name of the property (e.g. Casa Italiana, College of Pharmacy, Ferris Booth Hall) or by the name of the gift giver (e.g. Class of 1887, Estate of Nicholas Murray Butler).
