Today is the 46th anniversary of the student take-over of the buildings at Columbia University (4-23-68) in protest

against war research and using Harlem's Morningside Park as a spot for building a university facility.  We had a huge celebration with multiple forums and discussions in 2008 (see the link above), and there has been a lively listserv going since then.   

It's also the traditional celebration of Shakespeare's birthday (his baptismal day is known but not his birthday.) 450 years! Go Willy S.!
