In Memoriam: Sen. John McCain
"We were fortunate to be able to know Senator McCain at what was undoubtedly one of his most fulfilled moments — that of a proud college parent," said Columbia University President Lee C. Bollinger. "We join together with so many others across the nation and around the world who salute the life and mourn the loss of a courageous patriot and passionate defender of freedom who was deeply dedicated to public service."
