The University enrolls approximately 5,000 students in the College and about 14,000 students overall. It has a reputation of devotion to academic scholarship and intellectualism,[5][6] and is affiliated with 85 Nobel Prize laureates.[7] In 2007, the University spent $322,488,000 on scientific research.[8] University of Chicago scholars have played a role in the development of the Chicago School of Economics, the Chicago School of Sociology, the Law and Economics movement in legal analysis,[9] and the physics leading to the world's first man-made, self-sustaining nuclear reaction.[10] The University is also home to the Committee on Social Thought, an interdisciplinary graduate research program, and to the largest university press in the United States.[11] The University of Chicago was created and incorporated as a coeducational,[12] secular institution in 1890 by the American Baptist Education Society and a donation from oil magnate John D. Rockefeller. It emerged from a university of the same name that had closed in 1886 due to financial difficulties. William Rainey Harper became the modern University's first president on July 1, 1891, and the first classes were held on October 1, 1892.[13]
