Columbia U. Students form a Wireless Telegraph Club

In 1908, students at Columbia University formed the Wireless Telegraph Club of Columbia University, which is now known as the Columbia University Amateur Radio Club (ARC). This organization was established to provide a platform for students interested in the emerging field of wireless telegraphy to experiment, learn, and share knowledge. The club played a crucial role in fostering interest and innovation in wireless communication technologies among students. Over the years, the Columbia University ARC has continued to be a vibrant community for amateur radio enthusiasts, promoting technical proficiency, experimentation, and the advancement of radio communication techniques within the academic environment.
