Biographical History
The University of Chicago's Department of Geography was the first to be established at an American university. The first courses were offered in the 1902-1903 school year. Geologist Rollin D. Salisbury and geographer Paul J. Goode were key figures in the establishment and early development of the department. The department expanded throughout the early twentieth century while it played a major role in defining the discipline of geography. Following the retirement of several longtime faculty members, the department was succeeded by the Committee on Geographic Studies in 1986.
