HARVARD UNIVERSITY
1) Harvard University is a private Ivy League university located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United Slates, established in l636. Harvard is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. The institution was named Harvard College on March 13, 1639, after its first principal donor, a young clergyman named John Harvard. A graduate of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, John Harvard bequeathed a few hundred books in his will to form the basis of the college library collection, along with several hundred pounds.
2) The earliest known official reference to Harvard as a "university'" rather than a "college" occurred in the new Massachusetts Constitution of 1780. In his 1869-1909 tenure as Harvard President, Charles W. Eliot radically transformed Harvard into the pattern of the modern research university. Eliot's reforms included elective courses, small classes and entrance examinations.
3) A faculty of about 2,410 professors, lecturers, and instructors serve as of school year 2009-10, with 7,180 undergraduate and 13,830 graduate students. The school color is crimson, which is also the name of the Harvard sports teams and the daily newspaper, The Harvard Crimson.
4) Harvard College has traditionally drawn many of its students from private schools, though today the majority of undergraduates come from public schools across the United States and around the globe.
5) Harvard has a friendly rivalry with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which dates back to 1900 when a merger of the two schools was frequently discussed and at one point officially agreed upon (ultimately canceled by Massachusetts courts). Today, the two schools cooperate as much as they compete, with many joint conferences and programmes.
6) In 2010, according to University Ranking by Academic Performance (URAP), Harvard is the best overall university in the world.
