    KENNEDY SCHOOL, UNDER CONSTRUCTION. The Harvard Kennedy School aims to build students’ capacity for better public policy, wise democratic governance, international amity, and more. Now it is addressing its own capacity issues (as described at harvardmag.com/ hks-16). In January, as seen across Eliot Street from the northeast (opposite page), work was well under way to raise the level of the interior courtyard, install utility space in a new below-grade level, and erect a four-story “south building.” The project will bridge the Eliot Street opening between the Belfer (left) and Taubman (right) buildings with a new “gateway” structure that includes faculty offices and other spaces. The images on this page (above and upper right) show views diagonally across the courtyard from Taubman toward Littauer, and vice versa.

  • Collecting Lombardi's Dominating Packers
    Collecting Lombardi’s Dominating Packers BY DAVID LEE ince Lombardi called Lambeau Field his “pride and joy.” Specifically, the ground itself—the grass and the dirt. V He loved that field because it was his. He controlled everything that happened there. It was the home where Lombardi built one of the greatest sports dynasties of all-time. Fittingly, Lambeau Field was the setting for the 1967 NFL Champion- ship, famously dubbed “The Ice Bowl” before the game even started. Tem- peratures plummeting to 12 degrees below zero blasted Lombardi’s field. Despite his best efforts using an elaborate underground heating system to keep it from freezing, the field provided the perfect rock-hard setting to cap Green Bay’s decade of dominance—a franchise that bullied the NFL for nine seasons. The messy game came down to a goal line play of inches with 16 seconds left, the Packers trailing the Cowboys 17-14. Running backs were slipping on the ice, and time was running out. So, quarterback Bart Starr called his last timeout, and ran to the sideline to tell Lombardi he wanted to run it in himself. It was a risky all-in gamble on third down. “Well then run it, and let’s get the hell out of here,” Starr said Lom- bardi told him. The famous lunge into the endzone gave the Packers their third-straight NFL title (their fifth in the decade) and a second-straight trip to the Super Bowl to face the AFL’s best. It was the end of Lombardi’s historic run as Green Bay’s coach.

    Football 101 SCYF: Football is a full contact sport. We will help teach your child how to play the game of football. Football is a team sport. It takes 11 teammates working together to be successful. One mistake can ruin a perfect play. Because of this, we and every other football team practices fundamentals (how to do it) and running plays (what to do). A mistake learned from, is just another lesson in winning. The field • The playing field is 100 yards long. • It has stripes running across the field at five-yard intervals. • There are shorter lines, called hash marks, marking each one-yard interval. (not shown) • On each end of the playing field is an end zone (red section with diagonal lines) which extends ten yards. • The total field is 120 yards long and 160 feet wide. • Located on the very back line of each end zone is a goal post. • The spot where the end zone meets the playing field is called the goal line. • The spot where the end zone meets the out of bounds area is the end line. • The yardage from the goal line is marked at ten-yard intervals, up to the 50-yard line, which is in the center of the field. The Objective of the Game The object of the game is to outscore your opponent by advancing the football into their end zone for as many touchdowns as possible while holding them to as few as possible. There are other ways of scoring, but a touchdown is usually the prime objective.

  • Science at Harvard: Collaborations and Transformations
    THE VIEW FROM MASS HALL Science at Harvard: Collaborations and Transformations n may, I had the pleasure of announcing that Hansjörg Wyss had followed his pathbreaking 2008 gift establishing the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering with a second gift of $125 million to launch the next phase of its growth. In Inot quite five years, the Wyss Institute has developed into an en- gine of creativity and innovation, involving hundreds of faculty and staff from across Harvard and the region in developing life-chang- ing medicines and technologies—exploring how to prevent infant apnea with responsive mattresses, advancing sepsis therapy with biospleens, or revolutionizing drug development with organs on a chip. Work at the Wyss has already yielded more than 400 patents. The energy we see at the Wyss is just one part of ongoing growth and transformation in engineering and science at Harvard. It is clearly visible in Harvard College, where teaching in science, tech- nology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields has been overhauled with new integrative introductory courses. Forty percent of un- dergraduates are now STEM concentrators. Since the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) became a school in 2007, the numbers of engineering concentrators has climbed—doubling in just the past three years. Getting students involved in research early on is key to their engagement and sustained interest in sci- collaboration, the four-year-old Ragon Institute, where research entific careers, and we have focused on making such opportunities on HIV vaccines and on immunology more generally is being sig- more central and available for our students.
