PROD declined because this was taken to VfD *5* years ago. Current article is unreferenced and appears to be substantially original research. No objection to trimming and merging this content somewhere, but there's no clear target. Jclemens (talk) 17:39, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep' This is actually a vary famous curriculum, and a model for many other colleges. It is undoubtedly discussed in the various books about Columbia,but i will need to do some looking.. DGG ( talk ) 08:50, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. National influence. Some book quotes - "Of these, none was more important than the general education movement that was launched at Columbia University in 1919" [1], "Faculty at Columbia designed the first courses for this educational model" [2], "With its roots in the trivium and quadrivium, the modern history of the core curriculum owes much to the creation of courses at Columbia during and after the First World War..." [3]. It could use some work, sure, but I think if the history/influence aspects were expanded it would be too large to fit into the main article. Could the editors who see original research point those areas out on the article talk page? Novickas (talk) 14:19, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
