Rutgers University was once widely regarded as the sister school of Columbia University, because Rutgers University was originally named Queen's College and Columbia University was originally named King's College. Both schools were named to show the relationship between the two sister schools. It was not until Columbia University became a member of an Ivy League school that the relationship between them gradually alienated.
