Miss Mary Sicard Jenkins donated the collection of medals which were won by her brother J. Foster Jenkins (CC 1884) during his undergraduate years in 1931 to the Columbiana Collection.
This collection is arranged in two series: Series I: Columbia Medals and Series II: Non-Columbia Medals.
Identification of specific item; Date (if known); Columbia Medals Collection; Box and Item number; University Archives, Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Columbia University Libraries.
The University artifacts collection (UA#0016) contains objects, textiles, buttons, trophies, ribbons, plaques, plates, and other three-dimensional items used as well as created by or for the University. The Academic costumes and textiles collection (UA#0102) consists primarily of academic robes and hoods of various Columbia professors and administrators, especially those given to these individuals for honorary degrees at other universities.
This is an artificial collection of medals and pins presented to Columbia University students, faculty, staff, and alumni over the years.
This series includes medals and pins related to Columbia University. The medals have been divided into subseries defined by subject areas: academics, athletics, awards, student groups, etc.. Item descriptions include donor/awardee, dates, inscription information (R:recto and V:verson), accession information, item dimensions (in cm), and manufacturer, where available.
This subseries contains medals awarded as academic prizes to students from 1833 to 1845. The medals are organized by recipient's last name. The subject area for the award is sometimes translated from the Latin; for others, the abbreviated Latin subject is rendered as it appears on the medal.

The medals in this subseries are from alumni or class events from 1858 to 1968. The Societies organized different class year alumni into groupings. The Society of Old Graduates was originally used for those classes older than the 1880s. The Society of the Early 80s and the Upper 80s were for the classes from 1880 to 1889. The Forty-Niners (1890-1896) refers the last classes to study at the 49th Street and Madison Avenue campus (before the Morningside campus). By the 1920s, any alum past his 30th reunion could join the Society of Older Graduates.

Isidor Rabi was an American physicist and the winner of the 1944 Nobel Prize in Physics. Rabi received a B.S. in chemistry from Cornell University and a Ph.D. in physics from Columbia University, where he researched the magnetic properties of crystals. Aided by fellowships, he spent two years in Europe, working at different times with Sommerfeld, Bohr, Pauli, Stern, and Heisenberg. On his return in 1929 he was appointed lecturer in Theoretical Physics at Columbia University, and after promotion through the various grades became professor in 1937. In 1940 he was granted leave from Columbia to work as Associate Director of the Radiation Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on the development of radar and the atomic bomb. In 1945 he returned to Columbia as executive officer of the Physics Department. In this capacity he is also concerned with the Brookhaven National Laboratory for Atomic Research, Long Island, an organization devoted to research into the peaceful uses of atomic energy.
