上一篇文章我给同学们介绍了美国西北大学，今天我们来看看另一个位于芝加哥的非常好的大学---芝加哥大学。请同学们读一读关于这所学校的概况。

　　The University of Chicago is a private university located mainly in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago. Founded by the oil magnate (巨头)John D. Rockefeller（洛克菲勒）, the University has traditionally dated its establishment to July 1,1891, when William Rainey Harper became President and the first member of the faculty(教员). The University of Chicago held its first classes on October 1, 1892. Chicago was one of the first universities in the United States to be regarded as a combination of the American liberal arts college and the German research university.  Associated with 81 Nobel Prize laureates（戴桂冠的人）, the University of Chicago is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost（最重要的） universities. The university is noted for the  influential academic movements such as the Chicago School of Economics, the Chicago School of Sociology(社会学), and the Law and Economics movement. The University of Chicago was the site of the world's first man-made nuclear reaction. It is also the largest university press in the United States.
