A History of the University of Chicago, Founded by John D. Rockefeller: The First Quarter-Century Paperback - 1973
by Thomas Wakefield Goodspeed
First line
I am asked to narrate in general outline the circumstances which led to the founding of the University of Chicago.
From the rear cover
The initial steps which led to the founding of the great educational institutions of the world are known in very few instances. Seldom was any record even made of them, their significance not being recognized when the events occurred. The author of this work was intimately connected with the persons and events involved in the founding of the University of Chicago in 1891. His detailed account of that institution 's first twenty-five years, originally published in 1916, reveals that the chief participants were aware from the beginning of the magnitude and importance of their enterprise. This study provides detailed information on the founding of the university, the procurement of funds, the recruitment of faculty, the construction of buildings, student life, and the problems of continuing growth.
