Gatorade - and what monk3y said

 

[TraumaRN]

In 1908, John and Matilda Dodge purchased a 320-acre farm on what is now Oakland University's campus. As co-founder of Dodge Brothers Motor Cars, John Dodge quickly prospered in the burgeoning auto industry. When he died in 1920 from influenza, he left Matilda one of the nation's wealthiest women.

Matilda later married Alfred Wilson, a lumber broker. The Wilsons expanded the estate to 1,500 acres and built Meadow Brook Hall, a 110-room, 80,000-square-foot, Tudor-revival-style mansion. The mansion, built between 1926 and 1929, cost about $4 million. The Wilsons also added numerous farm buildings, recreational facilities, formal gardens and a modern-style house known as Sunset Terrace before donating their estate to Michigan State University.

Oakland University was created in 1957 when the late Alfred and Matilda Wilson donated $2 million and their 1,500-acre estate to Michigan State University to start a new college in Oakland County. Named Michigan State University Oakland, the college enrolled its first students in 1959. The name changed to Oakland University in 1963. In 1970, the Michigan Legislature recognized the maturity and stature of Oakland University by granting it autonomy, and Michigan's governor appointed OU's first Board of Trustees.

That is all I can think of it being famous for right now We're still growing.

Johns Hopkins - Medicine

Hopkins also has the best BME program in the country, but that obviously isn't as well known as the med school.
