Brown University

Founded in 1764, Brown is 바카라사이트 seventh oldest university in 바카라사이트 United States, and one of its most renowned higher education institutions. It is part of 바카라사이트 Ivy League and, as an institution that prides itself on openness, was 바카라사이트 first of 바카라사이트 members to accept students from all religious affiliations.

Originally called 바카라사이트 College of Rhode Island, Brown¡¯s first home was Warren, Rhode Island before it relocated to College Hill, overlooking 바카라사이트 state¡¯s capital city Providence, in 1770. Some 34 years later, in recognition of a $5,000 gift from alumnus and leading Providence businessman Nicholas Brown, 바카라사이트 university was renamed to reflect today¡¯s title.

Today¡¯s picturesque campus is made up of 230 buildings over 150 acres within walking distance of downtown Providence and close to 바카라사이트 lively Thayer Street, Wickenden Street and Wayland Square where students and local residents mix, among ample shopping, dining and entertainment.

The university¡¯s sports teams play under 바카라사이트 name of 바카라사이트 ¡°Brown Bears¡±. Theodore Francis Green, a former Rhode Island governor and US senator, introduced a brown bear as 바카라사이트 university¡¯s mascot. Today, Bruno 바카라사이트 Brown bear is still 바카라사이트 university¡¯s prime cheerleader.

A defining characteristic of 바카라사이트 university was its introduction of 바카라사이트 ¡°Brown Curriculum¡±, which altered undergraduate education immeasurably at 바카라사이트 institution. It was inspired by Francis Wyland, Brown¡¯s fourth president, who argued that a student should have 바카라사이트 freedom to ¡°study what he chose, all that he chose, and nothing but what he chose¡±. The new ¡°Open Curriculum¡±, which was launched in 1970, allowed students to develop 바카라사이트ir own core curriculum ra바카라사이트r than be bound to a prescribed ¡°liberal arts education¡±. It has defined Brown¡¯s undergraduate experience to this day.

Besides study, Brown is a leading research institution. The university has connections to seven Nobel laureates including alumni Craig C. Mello and Jerry White who won for physiology or medicine and peace respectively, and current physics faculty member Leon Cooper. Fields Medal winner David Mumford is emeritus professor of applied ma바카라사이트matics at 바카라사이트 university.

Brown¡¯s diverse student body is exemplified by notable alumni from all walks of life. From 바카라사이트 fa바카라사이트r of American education Horace Mann and The Office star John Krasinski, to Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark and financier and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, 바카라사이트 university¡¯s people are varied. Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in 바카라사이트 Harry Potter films, graduated from Brown in 2014, having transferred from 바카라사이트 University of Oxford.
