历史

Harvard University is a private university located in Cambridge,

Massachusetts and a member of the Ivy League. Founded in 1636 by the

colonial Massachusetts legislature,[2] Harvard is the oldest institution

of higher learning in the United States and currently comprises由构成

ten separate academic units. It is also the first and oldest corporation

in the United States

Initially called \"New College\" or \"the college at New Towne\", the

institution was renamed Harvard College on March 13, 1639. It was named

after John Harvard, a young clergyman from the London Borough区 of

Southwark and alumnus of Cambridge University (after which Cambridge,

Massachusetts is named), who bequeathed馈赠 the College his library of

four hundred books and ?779 (which was half of his estate), assuring its

continued operation.[7] The earliest known official reference to Harvard

as a \"university\" occurs in the new Massachusetts Constitution of 1780.

During his 40-year tenure as Harvard president (1869–1909), Charles

William Eliot radically transformed Harvard into the pattern of the modern

research university. Eliot\'s reforms included elective courses, small

classes, and entrance examinations. The Harvard model influenced American

education nationally, at both college and secondary levels.

Harvard has the second-largest financial endowment of any non-profit

organization (behind the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation), standing at

$26 billion as of September 2009

Harvard College accepted 7% of applicants for the class of 2013, a record

low for the school\'s entire history.[84] The number of acceptances was lower

9% of applicants, with a yield of 80%.
