Description:Excerpt from A Tribute to Theodore Woolsey Dwight, LL. D: Presented on His Resignation From the Wardenship of the Columbia College Law School, 1891 "Heaven does with us as we with torches do, Not light them for themselves; for if our virtuesDid not go forth of us, 't were all alikeAs if we had them not. Spirits are not finely touched, But to fine issues, nor Nature never lendsThe smallest scruple of her excellence, But, like a thrifty goddess, she determinesHerself the glory of a creditor, Both thanks and use." Heartily glad are all the instructors in this School that the torches here lighted have not been lighted for themselves, but have shone out to guide many a troubled wanderer, and save from many a fall. And as to men here trained, their virtues have "gone forth" of them, and they have returned in abundant tribute "both thanks and use." Such have been the purposes and ideals of Columbia College Law School from its origin down to the present time. Its external history is briefly told. It was first established in 1858, and Professor Theodore W. Dwight, who prior to that time had been a professor of law in Hamilton College, was placed in sole charge of the department of instruction in municipal law. The School found its first home in the Historical Society building, at the corner of Second Avenue and Eleventh Street. Afterwards, as the number of students increased from year to year, it was removed, first to 37 Lafayette Place, a few years later to 8 Great Jones Street, and finally, after a few years more, to the grounds of Columbia College on East 49th Street, where it has since been located. Until 1873 the entire work of instruction in every topic of private law devolved upon Professor Dwight, as did also the business management of the School to a very large extent, and also the enlargement and supervision of the library, etc. But notwithstanding this great amount of labor undertaken by him, he did not seem overburdened by it, and it was not until 1873 that he was in any measure relieved of these manifold duties. In that year the writer of the present article became Instructor in Municipal Law, and took charge of some of the topics in this department. This office of Instructor was changed in 1875 to that of Assistant Professor of Municipal Law, and since that time there have been several new professorships created and various changes in their incumbents.
