In 1890, when best in class instruction was frequently saved for society's world class, Chicago clergyman Frank Wakely Gunsaulus conveyed what came to be known as the "Million Dollar Sermon." From the podium of his South Side church, close to the site Illinois Institute of Technology now possesses, Gunsaulus said that with a million dollars he could fabricate a school where understudies of all foundations could get ready for important parts in a changing modern culture. 

Propelled by Gunsaulus' vision, Philip Danforth Armor, Sr. (1832-1901) gave $1 million to establish the Armor Institute—and Armor, his wife, Malvina Belle Ogden Armor (1842-1927) and their child J.

Rettaliata, a liquid dynamicist whose exploration achievements included work on right on time improvement of the plane motor and a seat on the National Aeronautics and Space Council.

History 

Berkshire Cotton Mills, Adams, Mass. 

Hathaway Mills, New Bedford, Mass. 

Berkshire Hathaway follows its roots to a material assembling organization built up by Oliver Chace in 1839 as the Valley Falls Company in Valley Falls, Rhode Island. Chace had beforehand worked for Samuel Slater, the organizer of the primary effective material plant in America. Chace established his first material factory in 1806. In 1929 the Valley Falls Company converged with the Berkshire Cotton Manufacturing Company built up in 1889, in Adams, Massachusetts. The joined organization was known as Berkshire Fine Spinning Associates. In 1955 Berkshire Fine Spinning Associates converged with the Hathaway Manufacturing Company which had been established in 1888 in New Bedford, Massachusetts by Horatio Hathaway with benefits from whaling and the China Trade. Hathaway had been fruitful in its first decades, yet it endured amid a general decrease in the material business after World War I. As of now, Hathaway was controlled via Seabury Stanton, whose venture endeavors were compensated with reestablished benefit after the Depression. After the merger Berkshire Hathaway had 15 plants utilizing more than 12,000 specialists with over $120 million in income and was headquartered in New Bedford. In any case, seven of those areas were shut before the decade's over, joined by vast cutbacks. In 1962, Warren Buffett started purchasing stock in Berkshire Hathaway in the wake of seeing a theme in the value heading of its stock at whatever point the organization shut a plant. In the long run, Buffett recognized that the material business was winding down and the organization's budgetary circumstance was not going to make strides. In 1964, Stanton made an oral delicate offer of $111⁄2 per offer for the organization to purchase back Buffett's shares. Buffett consented to the arrangement. A couple of weeks after the fact, Warren Buffett got the delicate offer in composing, however the delicate offer was for just $113⁄8. Buffett later conceded this lower, undermining offer made him angry. Instead of offering at the marginally bring down value, Buffett chose to purchase a greater amount of the stock to take control of the organization and flame Stanton (which he did). In any case, this place Buffett in a circumstance where he was presently lion's share proprietor of a material business that was fizzling. 

Buffett at first kept up Berkshire's center business of materials, yet by 1967, he was venturing into the protection business and different speculations. Berkshire initially wandered into the protection business with the buy of National Indemnity Company. In the late 1970s, Berkshire gained a value stake in the Government Employees Insurance Company (GEICO), which shapes the center of its protection operations today (and is a noteworthy wellspring of capital for Berkshire Hathaway's different ventures). In 1985, the last material operations (Hathaway's memorable center) were closed down. In 2010, Buffett guaranteed that buying Berkshire Hathaway was the greatest venture botch he had ever constructed, and asserted that it had denied him exacerbated speculation returns of about $200 billion over the resulting 45 years.[9] Buffett guaranteed that had he put that cash specifically in protection organizations as opposed to purchasing out Berkshire Hathaway (because of what he saw as a slight by an individual), those speculations would have paid off a few hundredfold.

They would be sold by dealers working for enormous commissions, would force other troublesome expenses on their shareholders, and would be promoted altogether to unsophisticated purchasers, well-suited to be allured by our past record and flabbergasted by the reputation Berkshire and I have gotten as of late. The beyond any doubt result: a huge number of financial specialists bound to be frustrated." Berkshire's yearly shareholders' gatherings, occurring in the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska, are routinely gone to by 20,000 people. The 2007 meeting had a participation of around 27,000.
