At which New York university did Georgia O'Keeffe study art education in 1914?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe studied art education at Teachers College, Columbia University, in 1914.

Teachers College was part of Columbia University in New York City and offered O'Keeffe a route back into formal study after she had worked as a commercial artist and teacher. She attended courses that helped prepare her for teaching art.

At Teachers College, O'Keeffe also met Anita Pollitzer, who later introduced her drawings to Alfred Stieglitz. That friendship became important to O'Keeffe's professional history.

This institution is distinct from the Art Students League of New York, where O'Keeffe had earlier studied academic art. The two schools played different roles in her education and career.
