The Mont Pelerin Society was organizationally embedded within the University of Chicago

Evidence

That MPS and the Chicago School were joined at the hip from birth is verified by the fact that most of the major protagonists were present at the creation of both organizations: Director, Friedman, Wallis, and Knight. When the MPS was legally constituted, it was registered as a nonprofit corporation in Illinois, with offices formally listed as located in the University of Chicago Law School; Allen Wallis served as treasurer during the initial phase of 1948–1954 (Hartwell 1995, 45). … Law, religion, history, and scientific philosophy would be as relevant as economics in the search for a rejuvenated liberal creed. — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 766
