背景信息
哈佛大學(xué)建于1636年，坐落在馬薩諸塞州的坎布里奇，是美國最古老的私立高等學(xué)府，也是美國和世界上最富盛名的大學(xué)之一。因建校委員會的70名委員都在英國劍橋大學(xué)受過高等教育，該校起初被稱為“劍橋”，學(xué)校所在地也被取名為“坎布里奇”。1638年，約翰•哈佛這位建校委員將其一半財產(chǎn)和一個圖書館捐贈給學(xué)校。后來，為了紀(jì)念他，學(xué)校更名為“哈佛”，并為其塑立銅像。哈佛校園里的教學(xué)樓、圖書館、博物館、宿舍等建筑物。大多以捐贈者的名字命名。1780年，哈佛學(xué)院更名為哈佛大學(xué)。學(xué)校學(xué)生數(shù)由最初的9名增加至現(xiàn)在的18,000多名，其中本科生6,684人。
