AN INTRODUCTION TO
New York University
The founding of New York University in 1831 by a group of eminent private citizens marked a
historic event in U.S. education. In the early 19th century, the major emphasis in higher education
was on the mastery of Greek and Latin, with little attention given to modern subjects. The founders
of NYU intended to enlarge the scope of higher education to meet the needs of those aspiring
to careers in business, industry, science, and the arts as well as law, medicine, and the ministry.
The opening of the University of London in 1828 convinced New Yorkers that New York, too,
should have a new university that fed off the energy and vibrancy of the city.
