The University of Chicago, founded by john rockefeller, an oil tycoon, with the number 1890, is a private research university located in Chicago, the financial center of the United States, and has been selected into the British government's "visa program for high-potential talents".

The school gave birth to many well-known schools in Chicago, such as Chicago School of Economics, and founded Law Economics. It is a world-class academic center for social sciences such as economics and law. Since the Manhattan Project, a large number of scientists have gathered here, and under the leadership of Engrich Fermi, the "father of atomic energy", the world's first nuclear reactor (Chicago No.1 reactor) has been established.

Creation period:

The University of Chicago, formerly a missionary school established by American Baptist Church, has the same name as the University of Chicago, but closed down on 1886 due to financial problems. With the migration of population to the west and industrial development, the central part of the United States, far from the developed east coast, urgently needs a first-class university to adapt to development. John Rockefeller, a foresighted and charitable American oil tycoon, looks forward to the birth of a university comparable to Harvard and Yale here.

1890, Rockefeller began to rebuild the University of Chicago on the basis of the original closed missionary school. After careful consideration, Rockefeller chose Willian R Harper, a famous educator who was only 35 years old, as an assistant to prepare for the University of Chicago. On July 189 1, Harper was appointed as the first president for his outstanding work.
