...ba href=/schizophrenia/a/b, and Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases - as well as diseases commonly associated with child development and aging.

The center will be built on Columbia's proposed Manhattanville campus in West Harlem, north of the main campus in Morningside Heights.

Mr.

Greene was a founding member of Marshall, Bratter, Greene, Allison & Tucker, a New York law firm.

He received his undergraduate degree from Columbia in 1926, followed by a law degree in 1928.

In his lifetime, Mr.

Greene was a major supporter of arts, education, and health-care institutions in New York.

Since his death, Mrs.

Greene, who is chief executive officer of the Greene Foundation, has continued to direct her philanthropy toward similar causes.

With the gift from the Levy Foundation, NYU plans to establish an interdisciplinary center for ancient studies that will widen the scope of traditional approaches to classical education.

Though primarily a graduate research facility with its own doctoral program, the institute will also hold public lectures and exhibitions and maintain a large library collection.

Levy himself, who, before his death, had created an advisory board of scholars to discuss ways to bring the study of antiquity into the modern world.

Mrs.

White said that the institute reflects Mr.

Levy's "long-term approach" to both business and life, as well as his dedication to studying the past.

Mr.

Levy, who had been vice chairman of NY...
