'''Emory University''' is a prestigious private university founded in 1836 and now located in [[Atlanta]], Georgia. The school is named after John Emory, a [[Methodist Episcopal Church, South|Methodist pastor]] who inspired by his broad vision for an American education that would mold character as well as mind.<ref>{{cite web|work=Emory University|title=A Brief history|url=http://emoryhistory.emory.edu/history/index.html|format=HTML|language=English}}</ref>

Emory made the transition from a regional Methodist college to a major national research university after 1980 thanks to a combination of external trends and circumstances and internal decisions and strategies. The growth of Atlanta's population and wealth helped end a legacy of poverty and lack of research scientists that had hindered the development of research and graduate programs in Southern universities. The Atlanta-based [[Coca-Cola]] Corporation and its owners provided endowments throughout the 20th century that provided significant financial support to the university, although a $105 million Candler bequest in 1979 got the most attention. In addition to the advantage of a key benefactor, Emory had a succession of university presidents committed to making it one of the nation's leading research facilities. Finally, a policy of moderate expansion and careful fiscal management sustained it through an uneven course from the 1950s through the 1990s - although it did not achieve national research status until the late 1980s and 1990s.<ref> Nancy Diamond, "Catching Up: The Advance of Emory University since World War II."
