University of Wisconsin-Madison Summary
The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.
The University of Wisconsin–Madison (also known as UW–Madison, Madison, Wisconsin, University of Wisconsin, or UW) is a highly selective public research university located in Madison, Wisconsin. Founded in 1848, it is the largest university in the state with a total enrollment of over 41,000 students, of whom approximately 29,000 are undergraduates. From 1848 to 1956, UW-Madison was part of the higher education system in Wisconsin that included the current Madison campus, 10 freshman-sophomore centers and the state-wide extensions. From 1956–1971, it was part of the then University of Wisconsin. It became a part of the University of Wisconsin System in 1971. The school is frequently called a “public Ivy,” and in 2007 US News and World Report ranked UW the seventh best public university in the United States. The university had its official beginnings when Wisconsin was incorporated as a state in 1848. Article X, Section B of the Wisconsin Constitution provided for “the establishment of a state university, at or near the seat of state government…” On July 26, 1848, Nelson Dewey, Wisconsin’s first governor, signed the act that formally created the University of Wisconsin. Regents continued to discuss the construction of the university and soon a campus site was selected. It was an area of 50 acres (200,000 m²) “bounded north by Fourth lake, east by a street to be opened at right angles with King (later State) street, south by Mineral Point Road (University Avenue), and west by a carriage-way from said road to the lake.” This building, University Hall, now known as Bascom Hall, was finally completed in 1859. Academics continued to improve at Wisconsin, and in 1892 the university awarded its first Ph.D. Students, faculty and staff are motivated by a tradition known as the Wisconsin Idea, first started by UW President Charles Van Hise in 1904, when he declared that he would “never be content until the beneficent influence of the university available to every home in the state.” The Wisconsin Idea holds that the boundaries of the university should be the boundaries of the state, and that the research conducted at UW should be applied to solve problems and improve health, quality of life, the environment, and agriculture for all citizens of the state. The Wisconsin Idea permeates the university’s work and helps forge close working relationships among university faculty and students, and the state’s industries and government. Other notable historical moments in Wisconsin’s first century include: The University of Wisconsin–Madison, the flagship campus of the University of Wisconsin System, is divided into twenty associated colleges and schools. The largest university college, the College of Letters and Science, enrolls approximately half of the undergraduate student body and is made up of thirty-nine departments and five professional schools that instruct students and carry out research in a wide variety of fields such as biology, astronomy, history, geography, linguistics, and economics. In addition to being a top-ranked school in education, geography, history, and sociology, the university was recently ranked the second-best college at which to earn an education degree, and the overall seventh-best public university in the United States. Washington Monthly’s 2006 college rankings placed Wisconsin 11th, based not only on academic measures, but also student research, public service and social mobility. In the Gourman report on undergraduate programs, the University of Wisconsin was ranked the third-best public university, after the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Michigan. Additionally, it was ranked the seventh-best university in the United States for overall strength of the undergraduate programs. According to the Shanghai Jiao Tong University rankings, the University of Wisconsin-Madison was ranked the 16th best university the world over. Since its founding as a land-grant university, Wisconsin has been at the forefront of research. This meant UW-Madison ranked as the 4th largest research university in the country behind Johns Hopkins University, University of California Los Angeles, and the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. The University is considered a major academic center for embryonic stem cell research. This has brought significant attention and respect for the University’s research programs from around the world. The University continues to be a leader in stem cell research, helped in part by the funding of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation and promotion of WiCell. The university is located in Madison, just blocks from the state capitol, and is situated partially on an isthmus between two lakes, Lake Mendota and Lake Monona. The campus of the University of Wisconsin–Madison was featured in the 1986 movie Back to School (starring Rodney Dangerfield), although in the movie the school is called “Great Lakes University.” As one of the most recognizable buildings on campus, Bascom Hall, at the top of Bascom Hill, is one of the icons of the UW campus and is often considered the “heart of the campus.” The building currently houses the office of the university’s chancellor and vice chancellors. The University of Wisconsin-Madison, unlike many schools, is home to two different student unions. The Memorial Union, also known as the Union or the Terrace, has gained a reputation as both one of the most beautiful and rowdy student unions or student centers on a university campus. An advisory referendum (advising the Chancellor, but lacking official power) to renovate and expand Memorial Union has been approved by the student body, and the university is currently in the planning phase for the expansion. Union South has mainly served students, faculty, staff, and other users of the UW-Madison’s many science related buildings, but has also become a home for many activities including weekly dances by student groups, weekly music and film series, and several bowling leagues. The Wisconsin Union also provides a home for the Wisconsin Union Directorate Student Programming Board (WUD). Memorial Library, the largest library in Wisconsin, along with more than 40 other professional and special-purpose libraries, serve the campus. This library also houses an extensive periodical collection, a large selection of domestic and foreign newspapers, Special Collections, the University Archives, a music library, a letterpress printing museum, and the UW Digital Collections Center. Some noteworthy fossils include the first dinosaur skeleton assembled in Wisconsin (an Edmontosaurus), a shark (Squalicorax) and a floating colony of sea lilies (Uintacrinus), both from the Cretaceous chalk of Kansas, and the Boaz Mastodon, a found on a farm in southwestern Wisconsin in 1897. In 2006, both the men’s and women’s hockey team took home the national title, becoming only the second school to win national championships in both the Men’s and Women’s division of a sport in the same year (Connecticut Huskies Basketball 2006). After every game, win or lose, the University of Wisconsin Marching Band plays popular songs during the famed Fifth Quarter. Bo Ryan, a four-time division III national championship coach at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, has coached the team since 2001 after the retirement of venerable Dick Bennett. The first game played at the Kohl Center for Ice Hockey was the Hall of Fame game against the University of Notre Dame. Their most notable rivalry is the annual college football game between the Wisconsin Badgers and the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers for Paul Bunyan’s Axe, the longest-running rivalry in NCAA athletics. The two universities also compete in the Border Battle, a year-long athletic competition in which each team’s win is worth a certain number of points for their university. The long standing rivalry between the University of Iowa and Wisconsin was finally recognized beginning in 2004. Wisconsin also has a major non-conference basketball rivalry with Marquette University, located in Milwaukee. In more recent years, an intense rivalry has developed between Wisconsin and Ohio State University. UW-Madison is the only American university to have two competing daily student newspapers: The Daily Cardinal, founded in 1892 and The Badger Herald, founded in 1969. The University of Wisconsin–Madison Campus Radio Station is WSUM 91.7 FM. Despite being one of the newest and most eclectic student radio stations in Wisconsin, WSUM has garnered many awards from the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association for their news and unique public service announcements. Due to this event, The Division of University Housing became very strict on controlling the number of guests allowed in the residence halls, including limiting the number of guests students could have in university housing. The 2006 party was viewed largely as a success by city and university officials, citing decreased attendance due to an admission fee to the State Street corridor.

You left out the intercollegiate rowing program which in 2008 was the winner of the IRA varsity eight championship. Participation in intercollegiate rowing predates any other varsity sport at the university.

Last January I took my dog to the UW vet school that my regular vet's recommend for knee surgery. Overall, it has been a good experience for me and my dog. The surgery went well. But I do have one and only complaint. During the last check up I requested that my dog ears be look at as she was acting different regarding her ears. I did tell the staff not to look at the ears until she was under for the X-ray. Well, the main vet did not listen to me and apparently the dog bit her. As a result,I will never take my dog there again. My dog has never show any aggressive towards any adult or child. The vet took me that the dog is aggressive. The person did not listen to me as a dog owner and knowing my dog personality. I have a 9 year old stepdaughter who takes the dog for regular walks and who has full control of the dog. I should add that my dog is a 100 pound Rockweiler.
