Talk:The New School for Social Research

I'm a little dubious about the dates when the university as a whole was officially the New School for Social Research -- was it really as late as 1997? I've put it in anyway because that's the only date I can find. Polonius 12:31, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

To my knowledge the end date (1997) is correct, when it was changed to New School University briefly before changing yet again to simply the New School, however I understand that the New School for Social Research first opened its doors in 1919. See the New School's history page: http://www.newschool.edu/history.html

It says that the name New School for Social Research was officially adopted in 1922 when the school was still operating out of six brownstones in Chelsea (Joseph Urban's 12th street building wasn't put up until the 1930s). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 149.31.51.67 (talk • contribs) 10 July 2006.
