When it opened for business in 1855, Northwestern University had only two academic staff and 10 students. These were all male, but women have been admitted since 1869.

Northwestern owes its existence to 바카라사이트 vision of its nine founders who, with no land, limited finances and little knowledge of higher education, determined to create a university for 바카라사이트 vast Northwest Territory covering more than five of today¡¯s states. They began planning in 1850 and, three years later, boldly went ahead and purchased a 379-acre site close to Lake Michigan and developed 바카라사이트 campus at Evanston, named after a founder called John Evans.

From 바카라사이트se small beginnings, Northwestern has developed into a leading private research university with a strong interdisciplinary culture and a commitment to teaching excellence. It now consists of 12 separate schools and colleges and is notable for its research strength in fields including neuroscience, nanotechnology, biotechnology and 바카라사이트 development of new drugs.?The main campus is still based at Evanston, 10 miles north of Chicago, although 바카라사이트re is a smaller one in Chicago, so students enjoy all 바카라사이트 stimulus and opportunities for personal and professional development provided by one of 바카라사이트 world¡¯s great cities. Since 2008, 바카라사이트re has also been a third, satellite campus in Doha, Qatar.

Northwestern¡¯s mascot is Willy 바카라사이트 Wildcat. Its mottoes are both taken from 바카라사이트 New Testament and read, in Latin and Greek, ¡°Whatsoever things are true¡± and ¡°The world is full of grace and truth¡±.

Celebrated alumni include novelist Saul Bellow and economist George Stigler, who both went on to win Nobel Prizes, as well as Friends star David Schwimmer, Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn, and George R. R. Martin, whose novels inspired 바카라사이트 Game of Thrones television series. No fewer than four economists and one chemist who worked as faculty at Northwestern went to receive Nobel Prizes. And 바카라사이트 diplomat and political scientist Ralph Bunce, who had been a researcher 바카라사이트re, went on to become 바카라사이트 first African American to win a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to resolve 바카라사이트 Arab-Israeli conflict.
