The smaller and more powerful of Harvard University's two governing boards - low media presence |
The President and Fellows of Harvard College, also called the Harvard Corporation or just the Corporation, is the smaller, more secretive and more powerful of Harvard University's two governing boards.[1][2][3][4] The Corporation is self-perpetuating, appointing new members to fill its own vacancies as they arise.
Overview
The President and Fellows of Harvard College, also called the Harvard Corporation or just the Corporation, is the smaller and more powerful of Harvard University's two governing boards.
From setting Harvard's budgets to selecting the deans of individual schools, the Corporation has the final say on any number of the most pressing issues facing Harvard. Its members help Harvard raise money and serve as a sounding board for the president as she makes major University decisions.
For most of its history, the Corporation consisted of six fellows in addition to the president. In December 2010, it announced that the Corporation's "composition, structure, and practices" would be altered: the number of fellows would increase from six to twelve.[5] The Harvard Corporation is a 501(c)(3) and the owner of all of Harvard University's assets and real property.[6]
The Board of Overseers - which is comprised of 30 Harvard degree holders elected by alumni vote in May each year—is the less powerful of the University's two governing bodies. The Overseers focus on academic affairs, with visiting committees that oversee each of Harvard’s individual schools.[3]
Members
Board as of2024, plus some older members.[7][8]

The Edge of the World | “The book was published in 2015 to accolades from establishment sources, including being declared one of the year's 100 notable books by the New York Times. The Wall Street Journal described The Edge of the World as "beautifully written and thoroughly researched."
Having thoroughly enjoyed Pye's early insights on the Frisian culture and the development of the Hanseatic League, the book's abrupt ending and Pye's conclusions in favor of centralization left me in a state of shock. When the Covid-19 pandemic began, Jon Rappoport referred to it as the latest development in a 10,000-year-old war. Reading The Edge of the World: A Cultural History of the North Sea and the Transformation of Europe underscores how true this is. One wonders if the folks at the Harvard Corporation and Rockefeller and Gates Foundations and the leadership gathering annually at the Bohemian Grove - or the hordes of academics they fund through the Council on Foreign Relations and intelligence agencies - read Pye's book. One also wonders whether the accolades the book received depended on the author's support for forced labor, tyranny, and the concentration of capital. Whatever the truth of the matter, we are dealing with a very old playbook. We can thank Pye for his astounding demonstration of that fact. What is the old saying? "The proof is in the pudding."” | Catherine Austin Fitts | December 2020 |
