Eugene Fama received his undergraduate degree from Tufts University and his MBA from the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago. He continued to teach at the University of Chicago after receiving his Ph.D. He's known as the father of the efficient market hypothesis.

'The Foundations of Finance: Portfolio Decisions and Securities Prices' is one of many pieces of work by Fama, and covers many of the ground works of finance and investment practices. Fama has published many works for journals and other publications, but 'Foundations of Finance' is a highly recommended text.

Foundations of Finance, though long out of print and nearly impossible to find, is a superbly readable introduction to the theory of finance. Though somewhat dated by the work that Fama and other economists have done in the past 25 years, this book covers a lot of ground in great detail.

You can indeed purchase a a photocopied version at the University of Chicago bookstore(Fama uses it as required reading in B432, the finance course he teaches).
