Oddly enough, the Frankfurt School's relationship to Columbia Universityhas been somewhat neglected by its many historians. It is nothard to understand why the Horkheimer circle would have desiredto settle at Columbia, but it is peculiar that the Frankfurt Schoolwould have received an invitation from Columbia. After all, whywould Columbia University's conservative president, Nicholas MurrayButler, and its sociology department extend an invitation to agroup of predominantly German-speaking social philosophers withstrong links to the Marxian left
