  • Grand Opening of the Sl Green Streetsquash Center
    Looking back at our First year in the new building! Summer 2009 11. 20. 2008: GRAND OPENING OF THE SL GREEN STREETSQUASH CENTER Program Director Leah Brown (far left), StreetSquash alum Davian Suckoo (far right), and Hillary Clinton pose with student ambassadors at the opening. What had once been a long-shot dream for a small non-profit was now there for all to see: 8 squash courts, 4 classrooms, a 1,000 square foot library, locker rooms and an office for 14 staff. On a memorable and emotional evening, over 400 people came to see the final product of 5 years of hard work. Almost every person in attendance had in one way or another contributed to the creation of the $9 million SL Green StreetSquash Center. The Grand Opening attracted a wide array of public officials and members of the extended StreetSquash family. In attendance were Hillary Clinton; Shaun Donovan, U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development; Scott Stringer, Manhattan Borough President; and Inez Dickens, NYC Council Member. Several StreetSquash alumni came back from college for the event. Board members brought friends and family. Supporters from Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia made the trip to see, firsthand, what a 19,000 square foot squash and education center looked like. Senator Clinton kicked off the celebration with a rousing speech about the importance of after school programs and the need for everyone to pitch in and make a difference. After having been given a tour of the facility by a few StreetSquashers, she remarked on the amazing opportunities that this Center would provide these students for years to come.

  • Porcellian Club Veterans
    Advocates for Harvard ROTC H PORCELLIAN CLUB MEMBER VETERANS As a result of their military service, Crimson warriors became part of a “Band of Brothers”. The following is an illustrative but not exhaustive listing of military oriented biographies of veterans whose initial exposure to non-family “brotherhood” were as members of various social and final clubs as undergraduates at Harvard. CIVIL WAR - HARVARD COLLEGE BY CLASS 18 34 Major General Henry C. Wayne CSA Born in Georgia – Georgia Militia Infantry Henry was the son of a lawyer and US congressman from Georgia who was later appointed as justice to the US Supreme Court by President Andrew Jackson. He prepared at the Williston School in Northampton (MA) for Harvard where he was member of the Porcellian Club. In his junior year at Harvard, he received and accepted an appointment to West Point where he graduated 14th out of 45 in 1838. Among his class mates at West Point were future flag officers: Major General Irvin McDowell USA who was defeated at the 1st battle of Bull Run, General P.G.T. Beauregard CSA who was the victor at the1st battle of Bull Run as well as numerous other major Civil War engagements and Lt. General William J. Hardee CSA who served in both Mexican War and throughput the Civil War.

  • A TEN YEAR REPORT the Institute of Politics
    A TEN YEAR REPORT 1966-1967 to 1976-1977 The Institute of Politics John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government Harvard University A TEN YEAR REPORT 1966-1967 to 1976-1977 The Institute of Politics John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government Harvard University 1 The Institute of Politics Richard E. Neustadt, Director, 1966-1971 The urge to found an Institute of Politics had little to do with Harvard. It came, rather, from a natural concern of President Kennedy's family and friends after his death. The JFK library, al­ ready planned to house his presidential papers, was also to have been a headquarters for him when he retired from the Presidency. Now it would be not a living center focussed on him, active in the present, facing the future, but instead only an archive and museum faced to­ ward the past. The Institute was somehow to provide the living ele­ ment in what might otherwise soon turn into a "dead" memorial. Nathan Pusey, at the time Harvard's President, then took an initiative with Robert Kennedy, proposing that the Institute be made a permanent part of Harvard's Graduate School of Public Administra­ tion. The School—uniquely among Harvard's several parts—would be named for an individual, John F. Kennedy. Robert Kennedy ac­ cepted; these two things were done. The Kennedy Library Corpora­ tion, a fund-raising body charged to build the Library, contributed endowment for an Institute at Harvard. The University renamed its School the John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government, and created within it the Institute of Politics.
