  • Why a University for Chicago and Not Cleveland? Religion and John D
    Why a University For Chicago And Not Cleveland? Religion And John D. Rockefeller’s Early Philanthropy, 1855-1900 Kenneth W. Rose Assistant to the Director Rockefeller Archive Center ____________________ © 1995. This essay is a revised version of a paper prepared for the Western Reserve Studies Symposium in Cleveland, Ohio, October 6-7, 1995, and included in From All Sides: Philanthropy in the Western Reserve. Papers, Abstracts, and Program of the Tenth Annual Western Reserve Studies Symposium, sponsored by the Case Western Reserve University American Studies Program. (Cleveland: Case Western Reserve University, 1995), pp. 30-41. The author welcomes the scholarly use of the ideas and information in this essay, provided that the users properly acknowledge the source and notify the author of such citation at [email protected]. ____________________ Clevelanders sometimes seem to have a “What have you done for me lately?” attitude with regard to John D. Rockefeller. As if the creation on the Cuyahoga’s shores of one of the country’s most powerful and influential corporations is not enough, some Clevelanders look to Rockefeller’s enormous charitable giving and wonder why he built no major institution in Cleveland to provide jobs and world renown under the Rockefeller banner. Most people who express such opinions often point, with a hint of jealousy, to the University of Chicago as an example of Cleveland’s missing Rockefeller landmark. To believe that a Rockefeller-endowed University of Cleveland would today have the same academic and intellectual reputation as the present-day University of Chicago, one must assume that the same personalities and forces that shaped the University of Chicago would have been present in Cleveland, and that they would have behaved and acted exactly the same way in this different environment.
