University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign

The University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (U of I, University of Illinois, UIUC, or simply Illinois) is a public research-intensive university in the U.S. state of Illinois. A land-grant university, it is the flagship campus of the University of Illinois system. The University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (founded, 1867) is the second oldest public university in the state (after Illinois State University), and is a founding member of the Big Ten Conference. It is a member of the Association of American Universities and is designated as a RU/VH Research University (very high research activities).〔()〕 The campus library system possesses the second-largest university library in the United States after Harvard University.〔American Library Association, "(ALA Library Fact Sheet 22 – The Nation's Largest Libraries: A Listing by Volumes Held )". July 2010.〕
The university comprises 17 colleges that offer more than 150 programs of study. Additionally, the university operates an extension that serves 2.7 million registrants per year around the state of Illinois and beyond. The campus holds 647 buildings on 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Facts 2012-13: Illinois by the Numbers )〕 in the twin cities of Champaign and Urbana (together known as Champaign–Urbana); its annual operating budget in 2011 was over $1.7 billion.
== History ==
(詳細はUrbana was selected in 1867 as the site for the new school.〔Illini Years: A Picture History of the University of Illinois (1950). p.6"〕 From the beginning, Gregory's desire to establish an institution firmly grounded in the liberal arts tradition, which was at odds with many State residents and lawmakers who wanted the university to offer classes based solely around "industrial education".〔Brichford, Maynard. (1983), ''(A Brief History of the University of Illinois )''〕 The University opened for classes on March 2, 1868, with two faculty members and 77 students.〔McGinty, Alice. ("The Story of Champaign-Urbana" ) Champaign Public Library〕 " Gregory is largely credited with establishing the University as it is today. Gregory's grave is on the Urbana campus, between Altgeld Hall and the Henry Administration Building. His headstone (mimicking the epitaph of British architect Christopher Wren) reads, "If you seek his monument, look about you."
The Library, which opened with the school in 1868, started with 1,039 volumes. Then President Edmund J. James, in a speech to the Board of Trustees in 1912, proposed to create a research library. It is now one of the largest public academic collections in the world.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Facts | Illinois )〕 In 1870 the Mumford House was constructed as a model farmhouse for the school's experimental farm. As of today, the Mumford House is the oldest structure on campus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://uihistoriesproject.chass.illinois.edu/virtualtour/landmarks/almamater/ )〕 The original University Hall (1871) was the 4th building built; it stood where the Illini Union stands today.
During the Presidency of Edmund J. James (1904–1920), James is credited for building the foundation of the large Chinese international student population on campus.
〔Solberg, Winton U. (2004) "Edmund Janes James Builds a Library: The University of Illinois Library, 1904-1920" ''Libraries & Culture'' 39(1)P: pp. 36-75, p. 67〕〔Solberg, Winton U. (2004) "Edmund Janes James Builds a Library: The University of Illinois Library, 1904-1920" ''Libraries & Culture'' 39(1)P: pp. 36-75, p. 37〕〔Mary Timmins, ("Enter the Dragon" ), ''Illinois Alumni Magazine'' December 15, 2011.〕 James established ties with China through the Chinese Minister to the United States Wu Ting-Fang〔 In addition, during James's presidency, class rivalries and Bob Zuppke's winning football teams contributed to campus morale.〔
On June 11, 1929, the Alma Mater statue was unveiled. The Alma Mater was established by donations by the Alumni Fund and the classes of 1923-1929. The statue was originally stood behind the Auditorium until moved to its current location on August 22, 1962 Like many Universities, the economic depression slowed construction and expansion on the campus but during this time the old University Hall began to collapse in 1938. The University replaced the original university hall with Gregory Hall and the Illini Union. In years following World War II, the university experienced rapid growth. The enrollment doubled and the academic standing improved. This period was also marked by large growth in the Graduate College and increased federal support of scientific and technological research.During the 1950s and ’60s the university experienced the turmoil common on many American campuses. Among these were the water fights of the fifties and sixties.〔Peterson, Doug, 2015, "The (Water) Fighting Illini," ''Illinois Alumni'' Spring 2015, pp. 34-35.〕
In 1998, the Hallene Gateway Plaza was dedicated. The Plaza features the original sandstone portal of the New Main University Hall.〔 The state of Illinois supplied roughly two-thirds of the university's budget while the federal government funded 90% of research.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.library.illinois.edu/archives/features/history.php )〕 In recent years, state support has declined from 4.5% of the state's tax appropriations in 1980 to 2.28% in 2011, a nearly 50% decline.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.pb.uillinois.edu/Documents/budgetbook/FY2012Budgetbook.pdf )〕 As a result, the university's budget has strongly shifted away from relying on state support with nearly 84% of the budget now coming from other sources.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Budget by Source of Funds | Stewarding Excellence @ Illinois )〕 On March 12, 2015 the Board of Trustees approved the creation of a medical school, being the first college created at Urbana-Champaign in over 60 years.
