Biographical notes:

The Association of American Universities was founded in 1900 by the fourteen American universities that then offered the Ph. D. degree. The purpose of the association was to attempt to standardize higher education. At various stages in its history the AAU has concentrated on accrediting universities, sponsoring research, and representing the interests of research universities to the federal government.
