Kennedy School was originally the Graduate School of Public Administration (GSPA). The idea of a school of public affairs at Harvard was bom in the midst of the Great Depression and on the eve of World War II. As government grappled with historic challenges, both domestic and international, Harvard alumnus Lucius N. Littauer backed his vision of a school for a new professional governing class with an unprecedented $2 million gift, then the largest single gift from an individual donor ever given to a university. In 1936,GSPA was born with Littauer’s donation. At first, there were only 20 students in total. In 1939,the Littauer Center, home of the GSPA for the next four decades, was built on Kirkland Street. In 1966 the school was renamed the Kennedy School of Government and the Institute of Politics (IOP) was established as a memorial to the slain president. Originally, IOP mainly foster undergraduates. Then in 1978,the School moved into its new home, which is situated on the banks of the Charles River, and merged with IOP.
肯尼迪學院的前身是肯尼迪公共管理研宄生院(GSPA)。在哈佛成立這樣一所公共事務學院的想法誕生于美國大蕭條期間的二戰前夕。當政府在同國內外的各種歷史 性挑戰做斗爭時,哈佛校友盧休斯?立陶爾想要為新的專業統治階級建一所學院,他給哈佛捐了 200萬美元,用于支持他 的想法。在當時的私人給大學的捐助 里,200萬美元可是前所未有的豐厚禮 品了,1936年立陶爾捐助成立了 GSPA,剛開始全院總共只有20名學生。 1939年立陶爾中心在柯克蘭大街上建 成,在后來的40年里GSPA就一直在 立陶爾中心里。1966年為紀念遇刺的 總統,學院更名為肯尼迪政府學院, 同時政治學院也成立起來。起初,政 治學院主要是培養本科生。然后在1978年,政府學院搬進了位于查爾斯河畔的新家, 并同政治學院合并。
