1759 – The Aula do Comércio in Lisbon was the world's first institution to specialise in the teaching of commerce. It provided a model for development of similar government-sponsored schools across Europe, and closed in 1844, when it merged with Instituto Industrial de Lisboa to become Instituto Industrial e Comercial de Lisboa. After the division of that organization, and several changes of names, it became the Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão of the Technical University of Lisbon. 1819 – The Ecole Supérieure de Commerce of Paris (now ESCP Europe) was founded. It is the oldest business school in the world. 1857 – The Budapest Business School was founded. It is the oldest business school in Central Europe and the second oldest one in the world. 1881 – The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania is the world's first collegiate business school. 1898 – Handelshochschule Leipzig (aka Leipzig Graduate School of Management), the first business school in Germany, was founded. 1898 – The University of St.have an average lifespan of ten years in captivity and six years in the wild, with a maximum lifespan of 14 years in captivity documented.[3] Punxsutawney Phil fans say that there is only one Phil (all the other groundhog weathermen are impostors), and that he has made weather prognostications for over 121 years as of 2011. They say that every summer, Phil is given a sip of the mysterious Groundhog Elixir, which magically lengthens his life for seven years. This is done by Inner Circle members.[4] According to the Groundhog Club, Phil, after making the prediction, speaks to the Club President in "Groundhogese", which only the current president can understand, and then his prediction is translated for the entire world. The Groundhog Day celebration is rooted in a German superstition that says if a hibernating animal casts a shadow on Feb. 2, the Pagan holiday of Imbolc, winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow was seen, legend said spring would come early. The result is decided in advance by 14 members of the Inner Circle, who don tuxedos and top hats for the event.
