American Ivy League refers to American Ivy League schools. Ivy League School or Ivy League was founded in 1965, which is a sports league composed of eight universities in the northeastern United States. Include Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University and Yale University.
All Ivy League schools are private universities. Like public universities, they receive federal funding and private donations for academic research.
The above schools had social and sports competitions as early as the end of 19 th century, and 1956 had the idea of an alliance school. When formulating the rules of sports competition, each school further formulated the rules of Ivy League schools, elected the principals, sports directors and some administrative directors of the alliance schools, and held regular meetings to discuss the enrollment, finance, funding, administration and other related issues among the schools.
There were only four universities in the early Ivy League: Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Princeton. Roman numeral 4 is IV, and the suffix Y becomes IVY, which means Ivy in English, so it is also called Ivy League school. Later, the alliance of these four universities expanded to eight, becoming a prestigious Ivy League school today.
