'''Hutchinson Commons''' (also known as '''Hutchinson Hall''') at the [[University of Chicago]] is modeled, nearly identically, on the hall of [[Christ Church, Oxford|Christ Church]], one of [[Oxford University]]'s constituent colleges. The great room (or main dining room) measures {{convert|115|by|40|ft}}, and was for many years the principal site of convocations of the university.<ref>{{cite book|last=Robertson|first=David Allen|title=The University of Chicago – an Official Guide|url=https://archive.org/details/universityofchic00univ|year=1919|publisher=The University of Chicago Press|location=Chicago|pages=[https://archive.org/details/universityofchic00univ/page/48 48]}}</ref> It is located in [[Chicago, Illinois|Chicago's]] [[Hyde Park, Chicago|Hyde Park]] community and is currently used as a dining hall and lounge for university students and professors. The building was donated to the University by the banker, philanthropist and university trustee and treasurer [[Charles L. Hutchinson]] through a donation of $60,000 ({{inflation|US|60000|1890|fmt=eq}}) for the purpose.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Hilliard |first=Celia |title=The Prime Mover: Charles L.
