Hamilton University

Hamilton University was a higher-learning institution in the United States before the Great War.

Background
Eccentric polymath Hans Memling worked at the university as a distinguished professor of engineering from 2068 to 2075, when his position was changed to professor emeritus. As the principal author of 112 papers in quantum, nuclear, and cryogenic engineering, he was highly regarded by his colleagues at Hamilton. Memling later became part of the scientific team within Vault 96.

Appearances
Hamilton University is mentioned only in Fallout 76.

Behind the scenes

 * Hamilton University's name bears strong similarity to Hamilton College, a private liberal arts college in Clinton, New York. However, Hamilton College's engineering courses are largely in partnership with Columbia University and Dartmouth College. It is unclear if Hamilton College and Hamilton University are meant to be the same institution, and whether or not the differences are a result of the divergence.
 * Additionally, Hamilton University was a real-world unaccredited institution based out of Evanston, Wyoming. It had no real students or campus, and was largely viewed as a diploma mill. It was run out of a renovated motel and had a small church on the property to make it tax-exempt. An investigation revealed that its only "faculty" were three office workers. It was later shut down by a Wyoming court order in the mid-2000s and, for a time, operated as Richardson University in the Bahamas.
