Слайд 4SOME FACTS
FROM
THE HISTORY
Harvard was founded in 1636 by vote
of the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, making it the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. Initially called "New College" or "the college at New Towne", the institution was renamed Harvard College on March 13, 1639.
In the early years, the College trained many Puritan ministers. The college offered a classic academic course based on the English university model.
By 1850 Harvard was the "Unitarian Vatican." The "liberals" (Unitarians) allied themselves with high Federalists and began to create a set of private societies and institutions meant to shore up their cultural and political authority.
Слайд 5Administration
and organization
A faculty: 2,110 professors, lecturers, and instructors
6,715 undergraduate and 12,424 graduate students.
The school color is crimson, which is also the name of the Harvard sports teams and the daily newspaper, The Harvard Crimson.
The John Harvard statue in Harvard Yard is occasionally a target of humorous decorations.
Harvard has a friendly rivalry with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Today, they compete, with many joint conferences and programs,
- the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology,
- the Broad Institute,
- the Harvard-MIT Data Center and the Dibner Institute for the
History of Science and Technology.
Слайд 6Governing bodies
Harvard is governed by two boards, one of which
is the President and Fellows of Harvard College, also known as the Harvard Corporation, founded in 1650, and the other is the Harvard Board of Overseers. The President of Harvard University is the day-to-day administrator of Harvard and is appointed by and responsible to the Harvard Corporation. There are 16,000 staff and faculty

Слайд 9 Harvard's 210-acre main campus is centered on
Harvard Yard in Cambridge, approximately 3.4 miles northwest of downtown Boston and extends into the surrounding Harvard Square neighborhood. Harvard Yard itself contains the central administrative offices and main libraries of the university, academic buildings including Sever Hall and University Hall, Memorial Church, and the majority of the freshman dormitories. Sophomore, junior, and senior undergraduates live in twelve residential Houses, nine of which are south of Harvard Yard along or near the Charles River. The other three are located in a residential neighborhood half a mile northwest of the Yard at the Quadrangle (commonly referred to as the Quad), which formerly housed Radcliffe College students until Radcliffe merged its residential system with Harvard. The Harvard MBTA station provides public transportation via bus service and the Red Line subway.
Слайд 10 The Harvard Business School and many of
the university's athletics facilities, including Harvard Stadium, are located on a 359-acre campus opposite the Cambridge campus in Allston. The John W. Weeks Bridge is a pedestrian bridge over the Charles River connecting both campuses. The Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, and the Harvard School of Public Health are located on a 22-acre campus in the Longwood Medical and Academic Area approximately 3.3 miles southwest of downtown Boston and 3.3 miles south of the Cambridge campus. A private shuttle bus connects the Longwood campus to the Cambridge campus via Massachusetts Avenue making stops in the Back Bay and at MIT as well.
Слайд 11 Each residential house contains rooms for undergraduates,
House masters, and resident tutors, as well as a dining hall, library, and various other student facilities. The facilities were made possible by a gift from Yale University alumnus Edward Harkness.
Radcliffe Yard, formerly the center of the campus of Radcliffe College (and now home of the Radcliffe Institute), is adjacent to the Graduate School of Education and the Cambridge Common.
From 2006 - 2008, Harvard University reported on-campus crime statistics that included 48 forcible sex offenses, 10 robberies, 15 aggravated assaults, 750 burglaries, and 12 cases of motor vehicle theft.
