University of Chicago
The University of Chicago is located on the shore of Lake Michigan in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Originally, it was a Baptist school that was about to close down due to poor management. Rockefeller, the oil magnate, made up his mind to do good deeds after his illness and donated 80 million US dollars. In the 1890 s, he became a world-class private university with a campus of about 200 mu and antique Gothic architecture.
