| Summary | "Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, 'Chicago, University of' to 'Chiton'" is a comprehensive reference work that likely spans the late 19th century. This volume is a collection of articles covering various topics, including historical, cultural, scientific, and geographical information. The detailed entries reflect the academic rigor and breadth of knowledge characteristic of the time, aiming to provide readers with an extensive understanding of the world. At the start of this volume, the focus is on the University of Chicago, detailing its establishment, growth, and educational offerings during its early years. It highlights the university's non-sectarian nature, despite Baptist connections, and emphasizes its ambitious expansion under its first president, William R. Harper. The text discusses the university's facilities, the increase in student enrollment, and the influence of significant benefactors like John D. Rockefeller, as well as its involvement in scholarly research and community extension efforts. These foundational details set the stage for the exploration of various subjects in the subsequent articles. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
