The Chinese full name of MIT is MIT. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), located in Cambridge, Massachusetts (ARWU, Greater Boston), is a world-famous private research university, known as "the best university of technology in the world". Massachusetts Institute of Technology is famous for its world-class engineering and computer science. In academic ranking of world universities from 20 15 to 20 16, engineering ranks first and computer ranks second.
MIT was founded on 186 1 by the famous natural scientist william barton rogers, who graduated from the famous southern school William and Mary College. He hopes to create a free college to cater to the rapid development of the United States. Just two days after the adoption of the draft resolution, the first battle of the American Civil War began. Years of war have delayed the teaching and research work in the school. 1865, MIT's campus in Boston officially opened. The mission of this new institution meets the requirements of the Land Grant Law, so it was granted land for further development. From 65438 to 0866, the benefits brought by land sales enabled the school to develop in Houwan District.
MIT adopted the model of European University of Technology, and paid more attention to experimental teaching in the early days. Although it has been troubled by financial problems, under the leadership of Francis samassa Walker, the school continued to grow and develop in the last 20 years of the19th century, and then started electronic, chemical, marine and cleaning projects, and built new teaching buildings, which also absorbed more students. College courses are gradually career-oriented, and some theoretical sciences are missing in the teaching content. However, this young institution is still facing a financial crisis and is concerned by the management. During the "Boston Tech" period, charles eliot, a former faculty member and then president of Harvard University, suggested six times that MIT should be merged into Lawrence Academy of Sciences of Harvard College.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), located in the narrow back bay area, cannot afford further campus expansion, but the increasing number of students makes it increasingly crowded. The school urgently needs funds or donations to maintain its normal operation. In the end, the university accepted the invitation to merge with Harvard under the strong opposition of teachers, students and alumni, but in 19 17, the Massachusetts Supreme Court banned this move on the grounds of anti-university monopoly, ending this "merger storm".
