TEST XIIIHARVARD UNIVERSITYHarvard University, which celebrated its 350th anniversary in 1986, is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. Harvard College was established in 1636 by vote of the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and was named for its first benefactor, John Harvard of Charlestown, a young minister who, upon his death in 1638, left his library and half his estate to the new institution. Founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, the University has grown from 9 students with a single master to an enrollment of more than 18 000 degree candidates, including undergraduates and students in 10 principal academic units. An additional 13 000 students are enrolled in one or more courses in the Harvard Extension School. Over 14 000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2 000 teachers. The University has two governing boards. The first one – The Harvard Corporation - known formally as the President and Fellows of Harvard College - is the University's executive board. The second board is the oldest corporation in the Western Hemisphere, the seven-member board, which is responsible for the day-to-day management of the University's finances and business affairs. Significant matters of educational and institutional policy are also brought before the President and Fellows by the President and Deans. In appointing professors to tenured positions, Harvard conducts nationwide - and, in many cases, worldwide - searches to identify men and women who are the leading scholars and teachers in their fields. Although the process leading to tenured appointments varies from School to School, in each case the final appointment is subject to approval by the President and the Governing Boards of the University. You can ask yourself: Who is the typical Harvard student? The answer is that there is no such person, because each student is a unique individual. Seven presidents of the United States – John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Theodore and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Rutherford B. Hayes, John Fitzgerald Kennedy and George W. Bush – were graduates of Harvard. Its faculty have produced more than 40 Nobel laureates. Harvard men and women represent an array of ethnic groups, religious traditions, and political persuasions. They come from every region of the United States and more than 100 other countries. They include undergraduates and graduates, continuing education, and Summer School students. In 1997, Mary Fasano became the oldest person ever to earn a Harvard degree when she graduated from the Extension School at the age of 89.
