Named after the names of the Puritan clergyman, the Reverend John Harvard, who was the first donor to the university, which is the college.
Harvard laid his to keep the school from its inception until his death. In his will, wrote the library and half his estate.
Harvard University is made up of schools (faculties), in which learning takes place in college ('undergraduate', which graduates receive a bachelor's degree: BA / BSc) or in one of the schools with a master's or doctoral (graduate and professional schools).
Please note that each school degree at Harvard requires candidates to win the title prior BA / BSc or its equivalent from any school (does not have to be a Harvard College).
