The University of Illinois is a the largest public university of the state and is considered "Public Ivy" for its prestigious campus, history and programs offered. Important early leaders and ties to Abraham Lincoln add to the historical legend of the University of Illinois. This book looks at the foundations of U of I, early university leadership, the tradition of the Fighting Illini and must-see campus sights, including Lincoln Hall, Illini Union and University of Illinois Observatory.
