University of Chicago

The University of Chicago is among the most elite and well-respected universities in the world. The graduate schools of Jurisprudence, Business, and Economics, and the undergraduate departments of Sociology, Linguistics, Political Science (Social Thought), International Studies, Economics, and Physics are considered among the best in the country.

The school was founded in 1890 with heavy support from John D. Rockefeller (of Standard Oil fame). Persons affiliated with the University have obtained a total of seventy-three Nobel Prizes (the most by any institution in the world except Cambridge University).

The school's more important contributions to science include the 1909 Millikan Oil Drop experiment, which determined the charge of the electron; the first self-sustaining nuclear reaction, carried out by Enrico Fermi and his colleagues as part of the Manhattan Project on December 2, 1942; and the Miller-Urey experiment (Miller experiment), considered to be the classic experiment on the origin of life.

The school is also known for its important contributions to modern sociology, economics, international relations, and archaeology.

The school's sports teams are called the Maroons. They participate in the NCAA's Division III and in the University Athletic Association. At one time, the University of Chicago's football teams were among the best in the country, but the school, once a member of the Big Ten Conference, de-emphasized varsity athletics in 1939. In 1935, Chicago's Jay Berwanger was the winner of the first-ever Heisman Trophy[?].

The university publishes The Chicago Manual of Style, which is the definitive guide to American English usage.

Its current president is Don Michael Randel.

One of the more famous traditions of the university is the annual Scavenger Hunt, a multiple day event that pits teams (often composed of hundreds) against each other with the goal of getting all of the 300-plus items on the list. While items such as Michael Jordan have not appeared, in 1999 two students built a working nuclear reactor for Scavenger Hunt.

Nothing else in the room. Not a bathroom in the house; one. That was the residence of the principal citizen, all the way from aboard a big fine steamboat, he entered a new and marvelous world: and maybe painted red; pilot-house, hurricane deck, boiler-deck guards, gilt acorns topping the derricks; gilt deer-horns over the big bell; boiler-deck, painted blue, and furnished with Windsor armchairs; on every stateroom door; curving patterns of filigree-work touched big chandeliers every little way, each an April shower of from the colored glazing of the skylights; the whole a long-drawn, In the ladies' cabin a pink and white Wilton carpet, as soft as mush, Then the Bridal Chamber--the animal that invented that idea was still flummery was necessarily overawing to the now tottering intellect of cozy clean bunks, and perhaps a looking-glass and a snug closet; of a towel which could be told from mosquito netting by an expert-- passengers cleansed themselves at a long row of stationary bowls and public soap. Take the steamboat which I have just described, and you have her and satisfactory estate. Now cake her over with a layer steamer awhile ago referred to. Not all over--only inside; .
