<p>Also, another often overlooked fact about the University of Chicago is its role as "teacher of teachers". Over 100 presidents/chancellors of colleges and universities throughout the country have had some prior affiliation as a student or faculty member at the University of Chicago (including the president of Northwestern U.) To quote from the Northwestern's biography of its president:</p>
<p>"Mr. Bienen received a bachelors degree with honors from Cornell University in 1960 and a masters degree from the University of Chicago in 1961. He was awarded a Ph.D. from Chicago in 1966. He received the University of Chicago Professional Achievement Alumni Award in 2000."</p>
