Auburn University

Coppery University (AU or Auburn) is an open examination college situated in Auburn, Alabama, United States. With more than 21,000 college understudies, and a sum of more than 27,000 understudies and 1,200 employees, it is one of the biggest colleges in the state  and also one of two open lead colleges in the condition of Alabama. Auburn was sanctioned on February 1, 1856, as the East Alabama Male College, a private aesthetic sciences school associated with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In 1872, the school turned into the state's first open area award college under the Morrill Act and was renamed the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama. In 1892, the school turned into the initial four-year coeducational school in the state. The educational programs at the college initially centered around building and horticulture. This pattern changed under the direction of Dr. William Leroy Broun, who taught works of art and sciences and accepted both orders were imperative in the general development of the college and the person. The school was renamed the Alabama Polytechnic Institute (API) in 1899, to a great extent due to Dr. Broun's influence.The school kept growing, and in 1960 its name was authoritatively changed to Auburn University to recognize the differed scholastic projects and bigger educational modules of a noteworthy college. It had been prevalently known as "Reddish-brown" for some years. In 1964, under Federal Court order AU conceded its first African American student. Auburn is among the couple of American colleges assigned as an area award, ocean give, and space-gift research center.Auburn University was sanctioned by the Alabama Legislature as the East Alabama Male College on February 1, 1856, going under the direction of the Methodist Church in 1859.

The principal president of the establishment was Reverend William J. Sasnett, and the school opened its entryways in 1859 to an understudy assemblage of eighty and a staff of ten. The early history of Auburn is inseparably connected with the Civil War and the Reconstruction-period South. Classes were held in "Old Main" until the school was shut because of the Civil War, when a large portion of the understudies and workforce left to enroll. The grounds was utilized as a preparation ground for the Confederate Army, and "Old Main" served as a healing center for Confederate injured.

To remember Auburn's commitment to the Civil War, a gun machine utilized for the production of guns for the Confederate Army and recuperated from Selma, Alabama, was introduced to Auburn in 1952 by siblings of Delta Chapter of the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity.[20] It sits today on the grass alongside Samford Hall.The school was revived in 1866 after the end of the Civil War and has been open from that point onward. In 1872, control of the foundation was exchanged from the Methodist Church to the State of Alabama for money related reasons. Alabama put the school under the procurements of the Morrill Act as an area award foundation, the first in the South to be built up independent from the state college. This demonstration accommodated 240,000 sections of land (971 km²) of Federal area to be sold keeping in mind the end goal to give assets to an agrarian and mechanical school. Accordingly, in 1872 the school was renamed the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama. 

Under the procurements of this demonstration, land-gift foundations were additionally expected to show military strategies and train officers for the United States military. In the late nineteenth century, most understudies at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama were enlisted in the cadet program, learning military strategies and preparing to end up future officers. Every district in the state was permitted to select two cadets to go to the school free of charge.In 1892, two noteworthy occasions happened: ladies were initially admitted to the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama, and football was initially played as a school sport. In the long run, football supplanted polo as the principle sport on grounds. In 1899, the school name was again transformed, this opportunity to Alabama Polytechnic Institute.On October 1, 1918, about all of Alabama Polytechnic Institute's healthy male understudies 18 or more established intentionally joined the United States Army for brief military professions on grounds. The understudy troopers numbered 878, as per API President Charles Thach, and shaped the scholastic area of the Student Army Training Corps. The professional segment was made out of enrolled men sent to Auburn for preparing in radio and mechanics. The understudies got noteworthy releases two months after the fact taking after the Armistice that finished World War I. Programming interface battled through the Great Depression, having scrapped a broad extension program by then-President Bradford Knapp. Personnel pay rates were cut definitely, and enlistment diminished alongside State allocations to the school. Before the end of the 1930s, Auburn had basically recouped, however then confronted new conditions brought on by World War II. 

As war drew nearer in 1940, there was an awesome lack of architects and researchers required for the barrier commercial ventures. The U.S. Office of Education asked all American building schools to join in an "accident" project to create what was frequently called "moment engineers." API turned into an early member in a movement that in the long run got to be Engineering, Science, and Management War Training (ESMWT). Completely supported by the legislature and composed by Auburn's Dean of Engineering, school level courses were given in concentrated, fundamentally evening classes at locales crosswise over Alabama. Taken by a large number of grown-ups – including numerous ladies – these courses were profoundly valuable in filling the wartime positions of regular citizen specialists, scientific experts, and other specialized experts. The ESMWT additionally profited API by giving job to employees when the understudy body was fundamentally lessened by the draft and energetic volunteers. 

Amid the war, API likewise prepared U.S. military work force on grounds; somewhere around 1941 and 1945, Auburn created more than 32,000 troops for the war exertion. Taking after the end of World War II, API, in the same way as other universities around the nation, encountered a time of monstrous development brought on by returning military faculty exploiting their GI Bill offer of free training. In the five-year time frame taking after the end of the war, enlistment at API dramatically increased.

University of Maryland, College Park

The University of Maryland, College Park (regularly alluded to as The University of Maryland, Maryland, UM, UMD, UMCP, or College Park) is an open exploration university[ situated in the city of College Park in Prince George's County, Maryland, around 4 miles (6.4 km) from the upper east outskirt of Washington, D.C. Established in 1856, the college is the leader foundation of the University System of Maryland. With a fall 2010 enlistment of more than 37,000 understudies, more than 100 undergrad majors, and 120 graduate projects, Maryland is the biggest college in the state and the biggest in the Washington Metropolitan Area.[ It is an individual from the Association of American Universities and contends in sports as an individual from the Big Ten Conference. 

The University of Maryland's nearness to the country's capital has brought about examination organizations with the Federal government. Individuals from the workforce get research subsidizing and institutional backing from offices, for example, the National Institutes of Health, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the Department of Homeland Security.[citation needed] 

The working spending plan of the University of Maryland amid the 2009 monetary year was anticipated to be around US$1.531 billion.[ For the same financial year, the University of Maryland got an aggregate of $518 million in examination subsidizing, surpassing its 2008 imprint by $118 million. As of May 11, 2012, the college's "Incredible Expectations" battle had surpassed $950 million in private donations.[14]On March 6, 1856, the trailblazer of today's University of Maryland was sanctioned as the Maryland Agricultural College. After two years, Charles Benedict Calvert, a future U.S. Congressman, obtained 420 sections of land (1.7 km2) of the Riverdale Plantation in College Park. Calvert established the school soon thereafter. On October 5, 1859, the initial 34 understudies entered the Maryland Agricultural College. The school turned into an area gift school in February 1864.During the Civil War, money related issues constrained the directors to auction 200 sections of land (81 ha) of area, and the proceeding with decrease in enlistment sent the Maryland Agricultural College into chapter 11. For the following two years the grounds was utilized as a young men preliminary school. Following the Civil War, in February 1866 the Maryland lawmaking body expected half responsibility for school. The school accordingly got to be partially a state establishment. By October 1867, the school revived with 11 understudies. In the following six years, enlistment developed and the school's obligation was paid off. 

A quarter century, the governmentally financed Agricultural Experiment Station was built up there. Amid the same period, state laws allowed the school administrative forces in a few territories — including controlling homestead infection, examining nourish, setting up a state climate agency and geographical study, and lodging the leading group of forestry. Morrill Hall (the most seasoned instructional building still being used on grounds) was manufactured the accompanying year.On November 29, 1912, a flame obliterated the military enclosure where the understudies were housed, all the school's records, and the greater part of the scholarly structures, leaving just Morrill Hall untouched. There were no wounds or fatalities, and everything except two understudies came back to the college and demanded classes continuing. Students were housed by families in neighboring towns until lodging could be reconstructed, in spite of the fact that another organization building was not worked until the 1940s. An extensive block and solid compass trimmed in the ground assigns the previous focus of grounds as it existed in 1912The state took control of the school in 1916, and the foundation was renamed Maryland State College. That year, the primary female understudies selected at the school. On April 9, 1920, the school turned out to be a piece of the current University of Maryland, supplanting St. John's College, Annapolis as the University's undergrad campus. around the same time, the doctoral level college on the College Park grounds recompensed its first PhD degrees and the college's enlistment achieved 500 understudies. In 1925 the college was licensed by the Association of American Universities.

When the principal dark understudies enlisted at the college in 1951, enlistment had developed to about 10,000 understudies — 4,000 of whom were ladies. Before 1951, numerous dark understudies in Maryland were enlisted at the University of Maryland, Eastern Shore.

In 1957 President Wilson H. Elkins made a push to expand scholarly models at the University. His endeavors brought about the formation of one of the primary Academic Probation Plans. The primary year the arrangement became effective, 1,550 understudies (18% of the aggregate understudy body) confronted removal. 

Phi Beta Kappa built up a section at the college in 1964. In 1969, the college was chosen to the Association of American Universities. The school kept on developing, and by the fall of 1985 achieved an enlistment of 38,679. Like numerous universities amid the Vietnam War, the college was the site of understudy dissents and had curfews upheld by the National Guard.In a monstrous 1988 rebuilding of the state advanced education framework, the school was assigned as the lead grounds of the recently shaped University of Maryland System (later changed to the University System of Maryland in 1997) and was formally named University of Maryland, College Park. The majority of the five grounds in the previous system were assigned as unmistakable grounds in the new framework. In any case, in 1997 the Maryland General Assembly passed enactment permitting the University of Maryland, College Park, to be referred to just as the University of Maryland, perceiving the grounds' part as the leader establishment of the University System of Maryland.

The other University System of Maryland foundations with the name "College of Maryland" are not satellite grounds of the University of Maryland, College Park. The University of Maryland, Baltimore, is the main other school allowed to present certain degrees from the "College of Maryland".

University of California, Berkeley

The University of California, Berkeley (additionally alluded to as Berkeley, UC Berkeley, California or basically Cal) is an open examination college situated in Berkeley, California. It is the leader grounds of the University of California framework, one of three sections in the state's open advanced education arrangement, which likewise incorporates the California State University framework and the California Community Colleges System. 

It is considered by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings as one of six college marks that lead in world notoriety rankings in 2016 and is positioned third on the U.S. News' 2015 Best Global Universities rankings directed in the U.S. furthermore, almost 50 other countries.The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) likewise positions the University of California, Berkeley fourth on the planet general, and first among state funded colleges. It is extensively positioned first in science, third in designing, and fifth in sociologies, with particular rankings of first in science, first in material science, third in software engineering, fourth in arithmetic, and fourth in financial aspects/business. The college is additionally understood for delivering a high number of entrepreneurs.

Set up in 1868 as the consequence of the merger of the private College of California and general society Agricultural, Mining, and Mechanical Arts College in Oakland, UC Berkeley is the most seasoned organization in the UC framework and offers roughly 350 undergrad and graduate degree programs in an extensive variety of disciplines.The University of California has been accused of giving both "traditional" and "handy" training for the state's people. Cal co-oversees three United States Department of Energy National Laboratories, including the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for the U.S. Branch of Energy. 

Berkeley personnel, graduated class, and specialists have won 72 Nobel Prizes (counting 30 graduated class Nobel laureates), 9 Wolf Prizes, 13 Fields Medals (counting 3 graduated class medalists), 22 Turing Awards, 45 MacArthur Fellowships, 20 Academy Awards, 14 Pulitzer Prizes[18] and 105 Olympic gold decorations (47 silver and 33 bronze). To date, alongside Berkeley Lab, UC Berkeley researchers and scientists have found 16 substance components of the occasional table (californium, seaborgium, berkelium, einsteinium, fermium, lawrencium, and so forth.) – more than whatever other college in the world. Lawrence Livermore Lab likewise found or co-found six synthetic components (113 to 118). Berkeley is an establishing individual from the Association of American Universities and keeps on having high research action with $730.7 million in innovative work uses in the financial year finishing June 30, 2014.In 1866, the private College of California bought the area containing the flow Berkeley grounds. Since it needed adequate assets to work, it in the end converged with the state-run Agricultural, Mining, and Mechanical Arts College to shape the University of California, the main full-educational modules state funded college in the state. 

Ten employees and right around 40 understudies made up the new University of California when it opened in Oakland in 1869. Frederick H. Billings was a trustee of the College of California and recommended that the school be named out of appreciation for the Anglo-Irish scholar George Berkeley. In 1870, Henry Durant, the originator of the College of California, turned into the main president. With the finish of North and South Halls in 1873, the college moved to its Berkeley area with 167 male and 222 female understudies and held its first classes.

Starting in 1891, Phoebe Apperson Hearst made a few huge endowments to Berkeley, subsidizing various projects and new structures, and supporting, in 1898, a global rivalry in Antwerp, Belgium, where French modeler Émile Bénard presented the triumphant configuration for a grounds end-all strategy. In 1905, the University Farm was set up close Sacramento, eventually turning into the University of California, Davis. By the 1920s, the quantity of grounds structures had become significantly, and included twenty structures outlined by engineer John Galen Howard.

Robert Gordon Sproul served as president from 1930 to 1958. By 1942, the American Council on Education positioned UC Berkeley second just to Harvard University in the quantity of recognized departments.[31]During World War II, taking after Glenn Seaborg's then-mystery disclosure of plutonium, Ernest Orlando Lawrence's Radiation Laboratory started to contract with the U.S. Armed force to build up the nuclear bomb. UC Berkeley material science educator J. Robert Oppenheimer was named investigative leader of the Manhattan Project in 1942. Along with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (in the past the Radiation Lab), Berkeley is presently an accomplice in overseeing two different labs, Los Alamos National Laboratory (1943) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (1952). 

Initially, military preparing was mandatory for male students, and Berkeley housed an ordnance for that reason. In 1917, Berkeley's ROTC project was built up, and its School of Military Aeronautics prepared future pilots, including Jimmy Doolittle, who graduated with a B.A. in 1922. Both Robert McNamara and Frederick C. Weyand moved on from UC Berkeley's ROTC program, winning B.A. degrees in 1937 and 1938, separately. In 1926, future armada naval commander Chester W. Nimitz built up the main Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps unit at Berkeley. Amid World War II, the military expanded its nearness on grounds to enlist more officers, and by 1944, more than 1,000 Berkeley understudies were selected in the V-12 Navy College Training Program and maritime preparing school for diesel engineering. The Board of Regents finished mandatory military preparing at Berkeley in 1962. 

Amid the McCarthy period in 1949, the Board of Regents received a hostile to comrade dependability vow. Various employees protested and were dismissed; ten years went before they were restored with back pay.

In 1952, the University of California turned into a substance separate from the Berkeley grounds. Every grounds was given relative independence and its own Chancellor. At that point president Sproul accepted administration of the whole University of California framework, and Clark Kerr turned into the principal Chancellor of UC Berkeley.Berkeley picked up a notoriety for understudy activism in the 1960s with the Free Speech Movement of 1964 and resistance to the Vietnam War. In the very advanced People's Park dissent in 1969, understudies and the school clashed over utilization of a plot of area; the National Guard was brought in and brutality emitted. At that point legislative head of California Ronald Reagan called the Berkeley grounds "a sanctuary for socialist sympathizers, dissenters, and sex deviants."Modern understudies at Berkeley are less politically dynamic, with a more noteworthy rate of conservatives and conservatives.Democrats dwarf Republicans on the workforce by a proportion of 9:1.

Different human and every living creature's common sense entitlement bunches have clashed with Berkeley. Local Americans clashed with the school over repatriation of stays from the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology.Animal-rights activists have undermined employees utilizing creatures for research. The school's reaction to tree sitters challenging development brought about debate in the nearby community.

On May 1, 2014, UC Berkeley was named one of fifty-five advanced education organizations under scrutiny by the Office of Civil Rights "for conceivable infringement of government law over the treatment of sexual brutality and badgering dissensions" by the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault. The examination comes after 31 female understudies made three elected grumblings: initial, a Clery Act objection was recorded in May 2013, and after that, after an absence of reaction from the University, a second Clery Act Complaint and Title IX protestation were recorded on February 26, 2014. Investigations have proceeded into 2016, with several pages of records discharged in April 2016, demonstrating an example of archived inappropriate behavior and firings of non-tenured staff.

Notre Dame de Paris

Notre-Dame de Paris (IPA: [nɔtʁə dam də paʁi](French About this sound (help·info)) ; French for "Our Lady of Paris"), otherwise called Notre-Dame Cathedral or basically Notre-Dame, is a medieval Catholic house of prayer on the eastern portion of the Île de la Cité in the fourth arrondissement of Paris, France. The basilica is generally thought to be one of the finest case of French Gothic design, and it is among the biggest and most surely understood church structures on the planet. The naturalism of its models and recolored glass are conversely with prior Romanesque design. 

As the church of the Archdiocese of Paris, Notre-Dame is the ward that contains the cathedra, or authority seat, of the Archbishop of Paris, as of now Cardinal André Vingt-Trois. The basilica treasury is remarkable for its reliquary which houses some of Catholicism's most imperative top of the line relics including the implied Crown of Thorns, a part of the True Cross, and one of the Holy Nails. 

In the 1790s, Notre-Dame endured despoiling amid the radical period of the French Revolution when quite a bit of its religious symbolism was harmed or demolished. A broad rebuilding administered by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc started in 1845. A venture of further rebuilding and upkeep started in 1991.The Notre-Dame de Paris was among the main structures on the planet to utilize the flying brace. The building was not initially intended to incorporate the flying supports around the choir and nave however after the development started, the more slender dividers became ever higher and stress cracks started to happen as the dividers pushed outward. Accordingly, the house of prayer's designers assembled underpins around the outside dividers, and later increases proceeded with the example. The aggregate surface region is 5,500 m² (inside surface 4,800 m²). 

Numerous little exclusively made statues were put around the outside to serve as segment backings and water gushes. Among these are the celebrated foreboding figures, intended for water keep running off, and delusions. The statues were initially hued as was the majority of the outside. The paint has worn off. The house of prayer was basically finished by 1345. The house of God has a restricted move of 387 stages at the highest point of a few winding staircases; along the ascension it is conceivable to view its most acclaimed chime and its figures of deformity nearby other people, and also having a marvelous perspective crosswise over Paris when coming to the top.John of Jandun perceived the church as one of Paris' three most critical structures [prominent structures] in his 1323 "Treatise on the Praises of Paris": 

" That most radiant church of the most magnificent Virgin Mary, mother of God, deservedly sparkles out, similar to the sun among stars. Also, albeit a few speakers, by their own free judgment, on the grounds that [they are] ready to see just a couple of things effortlessly, may say that some other is more delightful, I accept in any case, consciously, that, in the event that they go to all the more industriously to the entire and the parts, they will rapidly withdraw this feeling. Where without a doubt, I solicit, would they discover two towers from such heavenliness and flawlessness, so high, so expansive, so solid, dressed indirect with such a various assortment of trimmings? Where, I ask, would they discover such a multipartite plan of such a large number of horizontal vaults, above and underneath? Where, I ask, would they discover such light-filled pleasantries as the numerous encompassing houses of prayer? Besides, let them let me know in what church I may see such a huge cross, of which one arm isolates the choir from the nave. At long last, I would energetically realize where [there are] two such circles, arranged inverse each other in a straight line, which because of their appearance are given the name of the fourth vowel  ; among which littler spheres and circlets, with wondrous ingenuity, so some masterminded circularly, others precise, encompass windows rosy with valuable hues and wonderful with the most inconspicuous figures of the photos. Truth be told I trust that this congregation offers the deliberately recognizing such reason for appreciation that its investigation can barely satiate the soul. " 

—  Jean de Jandun, Tractatus de laudibus ParisiusIn 1160, in light of the fact that the congregation in Paris had turned into the "Parisian church of the lords of Europe", Bishop Maurice de Sully esteemed the past Paris house of prayer, Saint-Étienne (St Stephen's), which had been established in the fourth century, unworthy of its grand part, and had it pulverized soon after he accepted the title of Bishop of Paris. Likewise with most establishment myths, this record should be brought with a grain of salt; archeological unearthings in the twentieth century recommended that the Merovingian house of prayer supplanted by Sully was itself a huge structure, with a five-aisled nave and a veneer exactly 36m over. It is conceivable in this way that the shortcomings with the past structure were misrepresented by the Bishop to legitimize the revamping in a fresher style. As indicated by legend, Sully had a dream of a great new house of prayer for Paris, and outlined it on the ground outside the first church. 

To start the development, the minister had a few houses annihilated and had another street worked to transport materials for whatever is left of the church building. Development started in 1163 amid the rule of Louis VII, and assessment contrasts in the matter of whether Sully or Pope Alexander III established the framework stone of the basilica. Be that as it may, both were at the service. Priest de Sully went ahead to dedicate a large portion of his life and riches to the house of prayer's development. Development of the choir took from 1163 until around 1177 and the new High Altar was sanctified in 1182 (it was typical practice for the eastern end of another congregation to be finished to begin with, so that a makeshift divider could be raised at the west of the choir, permitting the section to utilize it without interference while whatever is left of the building gradually came to fruition). After Bishop Maurice de Sully's passing in 1196, his successor, Eudes de Sully (no connection) directed the fulfillment of the transepts and squeezed ahead with the nave, which was nearing consummation at the season of his own demise in 1208. By this stage, the western veneer had likewise been laid out, however it was not finished until around the mid-1240s.[6] Over the development time frame, various draftsmen dealt with the site, as is prove by the contrasting styles at various statures of the west front and towers. Somewhere around 1210 and 1220, the fourth planner supervised the development of the level with the rose window and the considerable lobbies underneath the towers. 

The most huge change in configuration came in the mid thirteenth century, when the transepts were renovated in the most recent Rayonnant style; in the late 1240s Jean de Chelles added a gabled entryway toward the north transept finished off by an astounding rose window. In a matter of seconds a short time later (from 1258) Pierre de Montreuil executed a comparable plan on the southern transept. Both these transept entrances were luxuriously decorated with model; the south gateway highlights scenes from the lives of St Stephen and of different neighborhood holy people, while the north entryway included the early stages of Christ and the account of Theophilus in the tympanum, with a very persuasive statue of the Virgin and Child in the trumeau

Of the 18 structures developed while Matthews was president, six are still as of now being used. Matthews imagined an "evergreen grounds," with numerous bushes conveyed to the grounds, and executed the planting of Palm Walk, now a historic point of the Tempe grounds. His legacy is being proceeded right up 'til today with the fundamental grounds having been announced a broadly perceived arboretum

Amid the Great Depression, Ralph W. Swetman was procured as president for a three-year term.Although enlistment expanded by just about 100 percent amid his residency because of the wretchedness, numerous personnel were ended and staff pay rates were cut.In 1933, Grady Gammage, then president of Arizona State Teachers College at Flagstaff, got to be president of ASU, a residency that would keep going for almost 28 years. Like his ancestor, Gammage managed development of various structures on the Tempe grounds. He likewise directed the advancement of the college, graduate projects. The school's name was changed to Arizona State College in 1945, lastly to Arizona State University in 1958. At the time, two different names considered were Tempe University and State University at Tempe.

By the 1960s, with the administration of G. Homer Durham, the University started to grow its scholarly educational modules by building up a few new schools and starting to grant Doctor of Philosophy and other doctoral degrees.

The following three presidents—Harry K. Newburn, 1969–71, John W. Schwada, 1971–81, and J. Russell Nelson, 1981–89—and Interim President Richard Peck, 1989, drove the college to expanded scholarly stature, production of the West grounds, and rising enrollment.Under the authority of Lattie F. Coor, president from 1990 to 2002, ASU became through the production of the Polytechnic grounds and developed instruction locales. Expanded duty to differing qualities, quality in undergrad instruction, research, and financial improvement happened over his 12-year residency. A portion of Coor's legacy to the college was an effective gathering pledges battle: through private gifts, more than $500 million was put resources into ranges that would essentially affect the eventual fate of ASU. Among the crusade's accomplishments were the naming and supplying of Barrett, The Honors College, and the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts; the production of numerous new blessed staff positions; and several new grants and fellowships.In 2002, Michael M.

Columbia University

Columbia University (formally Columbia University in the City of New York) is a private, Ivy League, research college in Upper Manhattan, New York City. It was built up in 1754 as King's College by illustrious contract of George II of Great Britain. Columbia is the most seasoned school in New York State and the fifth sanctioned foundation of higher learning in the nation, making it one of nine pilgrim universities established before the Declaration of Independence. After the progressive war, King's College quickly turned into a state element, and was renamed Columbia College in 1784. A 1787 sanction set the organization under a private leading body of trustees before it was renamed Columbia University in 1896 when the grounds was moved from Madison Avenue to its present area in Morning side Heights involving place that is known for 32 sections of land (13 ha). Columbia is one of the fourteen establishing individuals from the Association of American Universities, and was the primary school in the United States to concede the M.D. degree.

The college is sorted out into twenty schools, including Columbia College, the School of Engineering and Applied Science, and the School of General Studies. The college additionally has worldwide exploration stations in Amman, Beijing, Istanbul, Paris, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago, Asunción and Nairobi. It has affiliations with a few different foundations adjacent, including Teachers College, Barnard College, and Union Theological Seminary, with joint undergrad programs accessible through the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, Sciences Po Paris, and the Juilliard School.

Columbia yearly directs the Pulitzer Prize.[ Notable graduated class and previous understudies (counting those from King's College) incorporate five Founding Fathers of the United States; nine Justices of the United States Supreme Court;20 living billionaires;29 Academy Award winners;[and 29 heads of state, including three United States Presidents.Additionally, somewhere in the range of 100 Nobel laureates have been subsidiary with Columbia as understudies, workforce, or staff, second on the planet just to HarvardDiscussions in regards to the establishing of a school in the Province of New York started as ahead of schedule as 1704, at which time Colonel Lewis Morris kept in touch with the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, the preacher arm of the Church of England, convincing the general public that New York City was a perfect group in which to build up a college;be that as it may, not until the establishing of Princeton University over the Hudson River in New Jersey did the City of New York genuinely think about establishing as a college. In 1746 a demonstration was gone by the general get together of New York to raise reserves for the establishment of another school. In 1751, the get together designated a commission of ten New York inhabitants, seven of whom were individuals from the Church of England, to coordinate the assets collected by the state lottery towards the establishment of a college.

Classes were at first held in July 1754 and were managed by the school's first president, Dr. Samuel Johnson. Dr. Johnson was the main educator of the school's five star, which comprised of a minor eight understudies. Guideline was held in another school building abutting Trinity Church, situated on what is currently lower Broadway in Manhattan. The school was formally established on October 31, 1754, as King's College by imperial sanction of King George II, making it the most established foundation of higher learning in the condition of New York and the fifth most established in the United States.

In 1763, Dr. Johnson was succeeded in the administration by Myles Cooper, an alum of The Queen's College, Oxford, and a fervent Tory. In the charged political atmosphere of the American Revolution, his central rival in dialogs at the school was an undergrad of the class of 1777, Alexander Hamilton. The American Revolutionary War softened out up 1776, and was disastrous for the operation of King's College, which suspended direction for a long time starting in 1776 with the entry of the Continental Army. The suspension proceeded through the military control of New York City by British troops until their flight in 1783. The school's library was plundered and its sole building demanded for use as a military doctor's facility first by American and after that British forces.Loyalists were compelled to desert their King's College in New York, which was seized by the renegades and renamed Columbia College. The Loyalists, drove by Bishop Charles Inglis fled to Windsor, Nova Scotia, where they established King's Collegiate SchoolAfter the Revolution, the school swung to the State of New York so as to reestablish its essentialness, promising to roll out whatever improvements to the school's sanction the state may demand. The Legislature consented to help the school, and on May 1, 1784, it passed "an Act for giving certain benefits to the College up to this time called King's College." The Act made a Board of Regents to administer the revival of King's College, and, with an end goal to exhibit its backing for the new Republic, the Legislature stipulated that "the College inside the City of New York leading up to now called King's College be always henceforth called and known by the name of Columbia College,"a reference to Columbia, an option name for America. The Regents at last got to be mindful of the school's blemished constitution in February 1787 and selected a modification board of trustees, which was going by John Jay and Alexander Hamilton. In April of that same year, another sanction was received for the school, still being used today, giving energy to a private leading body of 24 Trustees.

On May 21, 1787, William Samuel Johnson, the child of Dr. Samuel Johnson, was collectively chosen President of Columbia College. Before serving at the college, Johnson had taken an interest in the First Continental Congress and been picked as an agent to the Constitutional Convention.

For a period in the 1790s, with New York City as the elected and state capital and the nation under progressive Federalist governments, a resuscitated Columbia flourished under the protection of Federalists, for example, Hamilton and Jay. Both President George Washington and Vice President John Adams went to the school's beginning on May 6, 1789, as a tribute of honor to the numerous graduated class of the school who had been included in the American Revolution.The school's enlistment, structure, and scholastics stagnated for most of the nineteenth century, with a considerable lot of the school presidents doing little to change the way that the school worked. In 1857, the school moved from Park Place to an essentially Gothic Revival grounds on 49th Street and Madison Avenue, where it stayed for the following fifty years. Amid the last 50% of the nineteenth century, under the administration of President F.A.P. Barnard, the foundation quickly expected the state of an advanced university. By this time, the school's interests in New York land turned into an essential wellspring of relentless wage for the school, for the most part attributable to the city's growing population.

American University (AU or American) is a private examination college in Washington, D.C., United States, partnered with the United Methodist Church, despite the fact that the college's educational modules is common.

Camp American University turned into the origination of the United States' substance weapons system, and synthetic weapons were tried on the grounds; this required a noteworthy cleanup exertion in the 1990s. Camp Leach was home to cutting edge exploration, advancement and testing of present day disguise procedures.

In the mid 1960s, the Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency worked a research organization under the appearance of Operation Camelot at American University. The legislature relinquished the research organization after the operation came to open consideration. AU's political intertwinement was facilitated by President John F. Kennedy's Spring 1963 initiation address.In the discourse, Kennedy approached the Soviet Union to work with the United States to accomplish an atomic test boycott arrangement and to decrease the significant global pressures and the ghost of atomic war amid that point of the Cold War.

From 1965 to 1977, the College of Continuing Education existed as a degree-giving school with obligation regarding on-and off-grounds grown-up instruction programs.

University of Texas at Austin

The University of Texas at Austin, informally UT Austin, UT, University of Texas, or Texas in sports contexts, is a public research university and the flagship institution of the University of Texas System. Founded in 1881 as "The University of Texas," its campus is in Austin, Texas—approximately 1 mile (1,600 m) from the Texas State Capitol. The institution has the fifth-largest single-campus enrollment in the nation, with over 50,000 undergraduate and graduate students and over 24,000 faculty and staff. The university has been labeled one of the "Public Ivies," a publicly funded university considered to provide a quality of education comparable to those of the Ivy League.

UT Austin was inducted into the American Association of Universities in 1929, becoming only the third university in the American South to be elected. It is a major center for academic research, with research expenditures exceeding $550 million for the 2013–2014 school year. The university houses seven museums and seventeen libraries, including the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum and the Blanton Museum of Art, and operates various auxiliary research facilities, such as the J. J. Pickle Research Campus and the McDonald Observatory. Among university faculty are recipients of the Nobel Prize, Pulitzer Prize, the Wolf Prize, the Emmy Award, and the National Medal of Science, as well as many other awards.

UT Austin student athletes compete as the Texas Longhorns and are members of the Big 12 Conference. Its Longhorn Network is unique in that it is the only sports network featuring the college sports of a single university. The Longhorns have won four NCAA Division I National Football Championships, six NCAA Division I National Baseball Championships and has claimed more titles in men's and women's sports than any other school in the Big 12 since the league was founded in 1996. Current and former UT Austin athletes have won 130 Olympic medals (73 gold, 37 silver, and 20 broThe first mention of a public university in Texas can be traced to the 1827 constitution for the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas. Although Title 6, Article 217 of that Constitution promised to establish public education in the arts and sciences, no action was taken by the Mexican government. After Texas obtained its independence from Mexico in 1836, the Texas Congress adopted the Constitution of the Republic, which, under Section 5 of its General Provisions, stated "It shall be the duty of Congress, as soon as circumstances will permit, to provide, by law, a general system of education." On April 18, 1838, "An Act to Establish the University of Texas" was referred to a special committee of the Texas Congress, but was not reported back for further action. On January 26, 1839, the Texas Congress agreed to set aside fifty leagues of land (approx. 288,000 acres) towards the establishment of a publicly funded university. In addition, 40 acres (160,000 m2) in the new capital of Austin were reserved and designated "College Hill." (The term "Forty Acres" is colloquially used to refer to the University as a whole. The original forty acres is the area from Guadalupe to Speedway and 21st Street to 24th Street )

In 1845, Texas was annexed into the United States. Interestingly, the state's Constitution of 1845 failed to mention the subject of higher education.[ On February 11, 1858, the Seventh Texas Legislature approved O.B. 102, an act to establish the University of Texas, which set aside $100,000 in United States bonds toward construction of the state's first publicly funded university[20] (the $100,000 was an allocation from the $10 million the state received pursuant to the Compromise of 1850 and Texas' relinquishing claims to lands outside its present boundaries). In addition, the legislature designated land reserved for the encouragement of railroad construction toward the university's endowment. On January 31, 1860, the state legislature, wanting to avoid raising taxes, passed an act authorizing the money set aside for the University of Texas to be used for frontier defense in west Texas to protect settlers from Indian attacks.Texas' secession from the Union and the American Civil War delayed repayment of the borrowed monies. At the end of the Civil War in 1865, The University of Texas' endowment consisted of a little over $16,000 in warrants and nothing substantive had been done to organize the university's operations. This effort to establish a University was again mandated by Article 7, Section 10 of the Texas Constitution of 1876 which directed the legislature to "establish, organize and provide for the maintenance, support and direction of a university of the first class, to be located by a vote of the people of this State, and styled "The University of Texas." Additionally, Article 7, Section 11 of the 1876 Constitution established the Permanent University Fund, a sovereign wealth fund managed by the Board of Regents of the University of Texas and dedicated for the maintenance of the university. Because some state legislators perceived an extravagance in the construction of academic buildings of other universities, Article 7, Section 14 of the Constitution expressly prohibited the legislature from using the state's general revenue to fund construction of university buildings. Funds for constructing university buildings had to come from the university's endowment or from private gifts to the university, but operational expenses for the university could come from the state's general revenues.nze), including 14 in Beijing in 2008 and 13 in London in 2012.The 1876 Constitution also revoked the endowment of the railroad lands of the Act of 1858 but dedicated 1,000,000 acres (4,000 km2) of land, along with other property appropriated for the university, to the Permanent University Fund. This was greatly to the detriment of the university as the lands granted the university by the Constitution of 1876 represented less than 5% of the value of the lands granted to the university under the Act of 1858 (the lands close to the railroads were quite valuable while the lands granted the university were in far west Texas, distant from sources of transportation and water). The more valuable lands reverted to the fund to support general education in the state (the Special School Fund). On April 10, 1883, the legislature supplemented the Permanent University Fund with another 1,000,000 acres of land in west Texas previously granted to the Texas and Pacific Railroad but returned to the state as seemingly too worthless to even survey. The legislature additionally appropriated $256,272.57 to repay the funds taken from the university in 1860 to pay for frontier defense and for transfers to the state's General Fund in 1861 and 1862. The 1883 grant of land increased the land in the Permanent University Fund to almost 2.2 million acres. Under the Act of 1858, the university was entitled to just over 1,000 acres of land for every mile of railroad built in the state. Had the original 1858 grant of land not been revoked by the 1876 Constitution, by 1883 the university lands would have totaled 3.2 million acres, so the 1883 grant was to restore lands taken from the university by the 1876 Constitution, not an act of munificence.

On March 30, 1881, the legislature set forth the structure and organization of the university and called for an election to establish its location.[28] By popular election on September 6, 1881, Austin (with 30,913 votes) was chosen as the site of the main university. Galveston, having come in second in the election (20,741 votes) was designated the location of the medical department (Houston was third with 12,586 votes). On November 17, 1882, on the original "College Hill," an official ceremony was held to commemorate the laying of the cornerstone of the Old Main building. University President Ashbel Smith, presiding over the ceremony prophetically proclaimed "Texas holds embedded in its earth rocks and minerals which now lie idle because unknown, resources of incalculable industrial utility, of wealth and power. Smite the earth, smite the rocks with the rod of knowledge and fountains of unstinted wealth will gush forth."[30] The University of Texas officially opened its doors on September 15, 1883.In 1890, George Washington Brackenridge donated $18,000 for the construction of a three story brick mess hall known as Brackenridge Hall (affectionately known as "B.Hall"), one of the university's most storied buildings and one that played an important place in university life until its demolition in 1952.

The old Victorian-Gothic Main Building served as the central point of the campus's 40-acre (160,000 m2) site, and was used for nearly all purposes. But by the 1930s, discussions arose about the need for new library space, and the Main Building was razed in 1934 over the objections of many students and faculty. The modern-day tower and Main Building were constructed in its place.

In 1910, George Washington Brackenridge again displayed his philanthropy, this time donating 500 acres (2.0 km2) on the Colorado River to the university . A vote by the regents to move the campus to the donated land was met with outrage, and the land has only been used for auxiliary purposes such as graduate student housing. Part of the tract was sold in the late-1990s for luxury housing, and there are controversial proposals to sell the remainder of the tract. The Brackenridge Field Laboratory was established on 82 acres (330,000 m2) of the land in 1967.

In 1916, Gov. James E. Ferguson became involved in a serious quarrel with the University of Texas. The controversy grew out of the refusal of the board of regents to remove certain faculty members whom the governor found objectionable. When Ferguson found he could not have his way, he vetoed practically the entire appropriation for the university. Without sufficient funding, the University would have been forced to close its doors. In the middle of the veto controversy, Ferguson's critics brought to light a number of irregularities on the part of the governor. Eventually, The Texas House of Representatives prepared 21 charges against Ferguson and the Senate convicted him on 10 of those charges, including misapplication of public funds and receiving $156,000 from an unnamed source. The Texas Senate removed Ferguson as governor and declared him ineligible to hold office.

In 1921, the legislature appropriated $1,350,000 for the purchase of land adjacent to the main campus. However, expansion was hampered by the restriction against using state revenues to fund construction of university buildings as set forth in Article 7, Section 14 of the Constitution. With the successful completion of Santa Rita No. 1 well and the discovery of oil on university-owned lands in 1923, the university was able to add significantly to its Permanent University Fund. The additional income from Permanent University Fund investments allowed for bond issues in 1931 and 1947, with the latter expansion necessary from the spike in enrollment following World War II. The university built 19 permanent structures between 1950 and 1965, when it was given the right of eminent domain. With this power, the university purchased additional properties surrounding the original 40 acres (160,000 m2).

The discovery of oil on university-owned lands in 1923 and the subsequent addition of money to the university's Permanent University Fund allowed the legislature to address funding for the university along with the Agricultural and Mechanical College (now known as Texas A&M University). With sufficient funds now in the Permanent University Fund to finance construction on both campuses, on April 8, 1931, the Forty Second Legislature passed H.B. 368. which dedicated the Agricultural and Mechanical College a 1/3 interest in the Available University Fund, the annual income from Permanent University Fund investments.

UT Austin was inducted into the American Association of Universities in 1929. During World War II, the University of Texas was one of 131 colleges and universities nationally that took part in the V-12 Navy College Training Program which offered students a path to a Navy commission.

In 1950, the University of Texas was the first major university in the South to accept an African-American student. John S. Chase went on to become the first licensed African-American architect in Texas.

In the fall of 1956, the first black undergraduate class was allowed into the University.

On March 6, 1967, the Sixtieth Texas Legislature changed the official name of the University from "The University of Texas" to "The University of Texas at Austin" to reflect the growth of the University of Texas System.
