The University of Rochester was established in 1850, at the time as a Baptist-sponsored institution. The first postgraduate degree was awarded in 1897, and women were first admitted in 1900, in part due to the advocacy of Susan B. Anthony. One of the university's more prominent sponsors was George Eastman, founder of Eastman-Kodak. His patronage was largely responsible for the founding of the well-ranked School of Medicine and Dentistry and the renowned Eastman School of Music. Other distinctions include the highly rated Institute of Optics and the Simon School, named for William E. Simon, former secretary of the U.S. Treasury, along with several notable graduate and research programs, and seven Nobel Prize winners and 11 Pulitzer Prize winners among its faculty and alumni. The main campus, flanked by the Medical Center, lies along the Genesee River in the Finger Lakes area of western New York.
