Chicago universities such as Northwestern (which initiated music instruction 1873 and a school of music in 1895), DePaul (whose school of music dates to 1912), and Roosevelt (which merged with Chicago Musical College in 1954), have maintained nationally recognized schools of music, drawing from the city's elite performance groups for faculty.
Chicago entrepreneurs invested heavily in the music industry, and the city's manufacturing and transportation resources made it a center of musical instrument manufacturing, music publishing, and recording.
