Harvard owes its very name to the library that was left in 1638 by John Harvard to the newly created College. For 370 years, the College and the University that grew around it have had libraries at their heart. While the University sprouted new buildings, departments, and schools, the library grew into a collection of collections, adding new services and locations until its tendrils stretched as far from Cambridge as Washington, DC and Florence, Italy.

  • Harvard University Library Semi-Annual CCDO & Technical Services Report ALA Midwinter 2010 Finances Remain the Most Pressing
    Harvard University Library Semi-Annual CCDO & Technical Services Report ALA Midwinter 2010 Finances remain the most pressing concern of Harvard’s libraries, and of the university as well. Early indicators suggest that we’ve about reached our budgetary bottom, though any recovery still seems at least a year away. In the meantime, several separate initiatives related to the library are likely to prove at once disruptive and, we hope, transformative. Budgets, staff, and collections: Financial circumstances vary across the separately administered and funded units that comprise the Harvard University Library. The Harvard College Library, a dependency of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences that accounts for a bit less than two-thirds of the University Library’s purchases and activity, has seen its budget drop by about $12M over the past year. HCL’s ranks have thinned by about 100 positions (through a combination of early retirements, vacant jobs eliminated from the organization, and layoffs); more than 1,000 print subscriptions have been abandoned as we transition toward electronic versions of serials that provide trustworthy arrangements for archiving; services have been trimmed wherever possible. Our collections budgets have been affected as well, and face the further impact of a predicted 12% drop in endowment returns for the coming fiscal year. Paradoxically, cutbacks in the College Library’s structural funding for acquisitions have in recent years been repeatedly and unexpectedly offset by influxes of one-time funds. Extraordinary current-use gifts, a $1M grant from the University’s president, $700K in one-time foundation support, and transfers to draw down a few large (non-collections) fund balances have helped to sustain HCL’s annual spending around the $19M mark.

  • Frank Knox Memorial Fellowships
    Scholarship Regulations FRANK KNOX MEMORIAL FELLOWSHIPS (At Harvard University) Introduction The Frank Knox Memorial Fellowships were established at Harvard University by Annie Reid Knox in honour of her late husband Frank Knox who served as Secretary of the U.S. Navy in the 1940s. Frank Knox believed that strong ties between the United States and the British Commonwealth were essential to international peace. The Frank Knox Memorial Fellowship program promotes this legacy through scholarly exchange, in part by providing fellowships to students from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom who wish to conduct graduate study at one of Harvard University’s ten graduate or professional schools: - the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Graduate School of Design, Graduate School of Education, Harvard Business School, Harvard Divinity School, Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard Law School, Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of Dental Medicine and the Harvard School of Public Health. Frank Knox Memorial Fellows will be selected on the basis of future promise of leadership. Strength of character, a keen mind, a balanced judgement and devotion to the democratic ideal will be qualities borne in mind in making the final selection. Mrs Knox expressed the hope that holders of the fellowships, after gaining knowledge and experience from study away from their native land, will return to their home to become leaders in their chosen fields. Eligibility (for applications in 2017) Knox Fellowships are open to men and women who: a) are New Zealand citizens at the time of application, normally resident in New Zealand; and b) have completed or will complete a first or higher degree at a New Zealand university; and c) are studying for a first or higher degree and will be eligible to graduate in 2017; or have completed a first or higher degree and graduated no earlier than 2013.

Rubenstein Fellowship 90 Wexner Israel Fellowship 114 Zuckerman Fellowship 126 Index of Fellows 147 - 148 Letter from the CPL Leadership Team At its core, the raison d’être of the Center for Public Leadership (CPL) is to provide the tools necessary for the next generation of ardent public servants to assume the mantle of responsible leadership. Fellows of CPL, past and present, have distinguished themselves as being among the most promising of their generation—having the capacity to assume this mantle—and are to be commended. Our mission during their time at CPL is to transform latent capacity into future action by providing the knowledge, experiences, and hands-on leadership learning enabling them to operate and contribute on stages both national and international. As a class you will collectively weave a broad tapestry of backgrounds—cultural, educational, economic, religious, and geo- political. Each of you will be greatly enriched by these experiences and the opportunity to learn from one another—and CPL will learn and grow with you. We are grateful to the nine donors highlighted herein who recognize this tapestry and provide robust fellowships through our Center at the Kennedy School, allowing each fellow to go forward in making the world a better place.

EXTRATERRITORIALITY AFTER BOUMEDIENE ChristinaDuffy Burnett* Questions concerning the extraterritorial applicability of the Constitution have come to the fore during the "war on terror." In Boumediene v. Bush, the Supreme Court held that noncitizens detained in Guantdnamo have the right to challenge their detention in federal court. To reach this conclusion, the Court used the "impracticableand anomalous" test, also known as the 'functional"approach because of its relianceon prag- matic or consequentialist considerations. The test first appeared in a concur- ring opinion overfifty years ago; in Boumediene, it garnered the votes of a majority. This Article argues that the Boumediene Court was right to hold habeas rights applicable in Guantdnamo, but wrong to endorse the "imprac- ticable and anomalous" test. The test rests on a view of the Constitution abroad that overemphasizes the difference between the foreign and the domes- tic, improperly relegatingconstitutional guarantees abroad to afar more un- certain status than they have at home.
