Brown University
 PROFILE
Ivy isn't always green -- particularly when it's Brown. Founded as Rhode Island College in 1764 and renamed Brown University for benefactor Nicholas Brown in 1804, the Ivy League school is one of the oldest universities in the US. More than 7,300 undergraduate, graduate, and medical students have about 1,800 courses at their disposal, taught by more than 550 faculty members. An endowment of about $1.5 billion supports academic programs in fields as diverse as anthropology, biology, history, linguistics, physics, religious studies, and urban studies. Ruth Simmons was named president of the university in 2000, the first African-American to hold such a position at an Ivy League school.
