People need to see where the birth of the worst economic/political theories of the last 50 years occurred and then nurtured. And where some of the worst "jurists" worked up perverse legal/political theories to support them.

I stand by my comment. Unless you live in Chicago, no one ever hears about University of Chicago. I'm not arguing that it isn't a great university, I'm just saying most people outside of Chicago would not really know that. Most people look at that US News list and say "really?". I think it has a great deal to do with the conference which they are in. Were they an Ivy League school, they would have much more recognition.

Didn't Abner Ravenwood teach there? Frankly, I'm somewhat suspicious of Mr. Ravenwood...

The problem is that they try to rely on word of mouth, but no one who goes there knows how to talk to other humans.

Sorry, dated a girl who was even more introverted and prickly than I am. I don't know how it happened.

They have a good reputation among the super-smart and grad students--as well as internationally. The U of C is one of the first American universities to brand itself in Asia. They have so much money involved in building overseas and in the HP area that their credit rating recently got downgraded. They have a gutsy and forward-looking administration. I was lucky enough to take some classes there for free; it's really an amazing place.

Weird how their GSB (which periodically threatens to break away from the university as a whole) is so arch-conservative whereas the rest of the university is . . . not at all like that.

Many strange undergrads....

GSB GSB...Governing Student Body?

I would be interested to hear what he has to say. The guy has run amok for a time now. How and why did he do it? In his opinion, what works? Knowing what his ilk is trying to do can be useful when trying to overcome its affects.

I don't think I would set the show up in a way where you just give him a mic and let him speak his mind. Studying the ape in a controlled environment would be best in this instance.

...and :lol: at hatchetman and Dr. Ken's rapid fire response.

Not sure about that, but there's no doubt that he and Carnegie really had a special vision when it came to donating to the public good.

An initial pledge of $600,000 (more than $25 million in today’s currency) from John D. Rockefeller, along with contributions from the American Baptist Education Society and land from Marshall Field, helped to found the University of Chicago.

I found them bizarre when I visited but that could be said of 90% of the schools I visited.

GSB was correct up until 8 or 10 years ago.

University of Chicago is extremely well known and respected by people who would be hiring graduates from that school. Perhaps your HR rep from Carrier or Rotorooter would not respect it, but that won't be a big problem for a graduate.

In other news, let me tell you a tale about University of Chicago and the Arizona Cardinals. As some of you may know, the Arizona Cardinals were originally known as the Chicago Cardinals, but most do not know of the origin of the name. Back in the 1800s, the University of Chicago had a pretty nationally powerful football team. They were a founder of the Big Ten conference; Amos Alonzo Stagg was the coach of the team for forty years. In 1898, a painting and building contractor named Chris O'Brien started an amateur football team at the time known as the Morgan Athletic Club. In 1901, he purchased some used uniforms from the University of Chicago -- their colors, as you may know, are maroon and white. The uniforms were very faded however, and as the team had relocated to Racine Avenue, he renamed the team as the Racine Cardinals, claiming the uniforms were cardinal red. The team disbanded in 1906 due to lack of local competition, but when local opponents such as the Decatur Staleys, Chicago Tigers, and Hammond Pros came into being, the Racine Cardinals came back into existence. The NFL bookkeeper had recorded the Cardinals as being from Racine, Wisconsin, which caused a 1922 rename to the Chicago Cardinals and they moved to Comiskey Park that same year. One would assume that they bought new jerseys at some point, but it was the University of Chicago that led to the team's name and has lasted for over a century.

Didn't the old Cardinals beat the Tigers in a "loser leaves the NFL" game?

The U of C Maroons, the original Monsters of the Midway. The really is nothing original about the Bears. Illini colors & first star, mascot derived from the Cubs and nickname & offense(?) stolen from the Maroons. Where the Halas' really gypsies?

It is pretty stupid that people still call the Bears that despite them not playing near the Plaisance. I suppose everyone takes it to mean the airport now, which they also don't play near.
