NEW YORK - A sold-out audience witnessed the induction of the Columbia University Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2012 on Thursday, October 18, in the Low Library Rotunda. University President Lee C. Bollinger, Chair, University Trustees, Bill Campbell, and Director, Intercollegiate Athletics and Physical Education Dr. M.

Among the members of the  Columbia University Athletics Hall of Fame’s inaugural class, inducted in 2006, were baseball Hall of Famers Lou Gehrig 1921-23CC and Eddie Collins 1907CC, college football legends Sid Luckman ‘39CC and Lou Little (head coach), as well as former Olympic Gold Medalist Swimmer and Honda-Broderick Award-winner Cristina Teuscher ‘00CC.
