Cooper Union Description

Cooper Union was built by Peter Cooper, a wealthy industrialist who built the first U.S. steam locomotive. Because he had no formal education, Cooper founded New York's first free, nonsectarian college. Today, the school remains much sought-after. The Great Hall was inaugurated in 1859 by Mark Twain. Lincoln delivered his 1860 "Right Makes Might" speech.
