Faculty House:
In 1802 a faculty house of science was established, and in 1825 a full faculty house of law. Extensive building between 1867 and 1871 prepared the academy for university status. The school of medicine, which was to become world-famous, was created in 1876. A natural history museum and one of the finest libraries in Europe, dating from 1551 and now containing half a million volumes, are administered by the university. The institution continues to attract a great body of foreign students, mostly from nearby European countries. It is open to both men and women. In the mid-1960's, the faculty house numbered about 500, and the student enrollment was over 5,000.Chicago is a relative newcomer to the ranks of great academic institutions, but its faculty house has been distinguished from the start. The first faculty house included eight former university and college presidents. Within a decade such scholars as John Dewey in philosophy, Thorstein Veblen in economics, and James Breasted in archaeology were added.
faculty house members as well as students should appear before your camera. Shoot the faculty house as a group, and then shoot a portrait of each teacher. This will be a critical phase in your campaign to get yourself recognized as the official school photographer. It may take a fine bit of diplomacy to get over this hurdle, so don't bring up the project before you have made yourself rather favorably known to the big brass of the school.
