Harvard University is a private, Ivy League research university in
Cambridge, Massachusetts, established 1636, whose history, influence
and wealth have made it one of the world's most prestigious
universities.
Established originally by the
Massachusetts legislature and soon thereafter named for John Harvard
(its first benefactor), Harvard is the United States' oldest
institution of higher learning, and the Harvard Corporation
(formally, the President and Fellows of Harvard College) is its first
chartered corporation. Although never formally affiliated with any
denomination, the early College primarily trained Congregationalist
and Unitarian clergy. Its curriculum and student body were gradually
secularized during the 18th century, and by the 19th century Harvard
had emerged as the central cultural establishment among Boston
elites. Following the American Civil War, President Charles W.
Eliot's long tenure (1869–1909) transformed the college and
affiliated professional schools into a modern research university;
Harvard was a founding member of the Association of American
Universities in 1900. James Bryant Conant led the university through
the Great Depression and World War II and began to reform the
curriculum and liberalize admissions after the war. The undergraduate
college became coeducational after its 1977 merger with Radcliffe
College.
The University is organized into
eleven separate academic units—ten faculties and the Radcliffe
Institute for Advanced Study—with campuses throughout the Boston
metropolitan area: its 209-acre (85 ha) main campus is centered
onHarvard Yard in Cambridge, approximately 3 miles (5 km) northwest
of Boston; the business school and athletics facilities, including
Harvard Stadium, are located across the Charles River in the Allston
neighborhood of Boston and the medical, dental, and public health
schools are in the Longwood Medical Area. Harvard's $37.6 billion
financial endowment is the largest of any academic institution.
Harvard is a large, highly
residential research university. The nominal cost of attendance is
high, but the University's large endowment allows it to offer
generous financial aid packages. It operates several arts, cultural,
and scientific museums, alongside the Harvard Library, which is the
world's largest academic and private library system, comprising 79
individual libraries with over 18 million volumes. Harvard's alumni
include eight U.S. presidents, several foreign heads of state, 62
living billionaires, 335 Rhodes Scholars, and 242 Marshall Scholars.
To date, some 150 Nobel laureates, 18 Fields Medalists and 13 Turing
Award winners have been affiliated as students, faculty, or staff.
