The Harvard Club of Boston is a private social club located in Boston, Massachusetts. Its membership is restricted to alumni and associates of Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Tufts University, and Yale University. It has two clubhouses, a Back Bay clubhouse located in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood, at 374 Commonwealth Avenue, and a Downtown clubhouse on the top floor of One Federal Street, in Boston's Financial District.HistoryThe Harvard Club was founded by a group of 22 Harvard alumni in 1908. The original dues were $5.00 per year, and by the end of the year, more than 1,200 members had joined. The first president, Henry Lee Higginson, was also the founder of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. In 1909, the Club established its first scholarships. One of the first recipients of these scholarships, James Bryant Conant, went on to become the 23rd president of Harvard. Famous people to have spoken at the Club include Vice President Dick Cheney, Eleanor Roosevelt, Henry Kissinger, William Taft, Robert Frost, Buckminster Fuller and John Foster Dulles. In 1913, the Club decided to construct a clubhouse, the Back Bay Clubhouse at 374 Commonwealth Avenue. In 1925, eight squash courts were built. During World War II, cots were placed in these courts and lodging was offered to military officers at the cost of $1.50 per night. In 1976, the Downtown clubhouse was purchased at One Federal Street, providing a location more convenient to most of Boston's offices.

By 1974 ownership shares had passed to heirs, the studios were not being maintained, and they owed nearly $200,000 in back taxes. The "Artists for the Preservation of the Fenway Studios" was formed to save the studios, and in 1981 a mortgage paid for back taxes and building improvements. In 1982, after renovations were completed, the studios were converted into an early limited-equity cooperative. In 1998 façade structural issues were discovered, requiring emergency repairs costing $1.6 million, which required additional fund raising through the Friends of Fenway Studios. As of 2007, the studios are currently home to 25 artists working in a wide range of media. Today there are 46 artists living and/or working in the building.

Situated in the heart of Boston’s Fenway neighborhood and a link in Olmsted’s Emerald Necklace, the Fenway Victory Gardens span seven acres tended by a community of almost 500 gardeners from every neighborhood in Boston, with a diversity of cultures, ages, abilities and experience. During WWII, the City of Boston established 49 areas (including the Boston Common and the Public Garden!) as ‘victory gardens’ for citizens to grow vegetables and herbs. As the oldest and largest continuously operating WWII Victory Garden in the U.S., the Fenway Victory Gardens are home not only to vegetable gardens, but to floral gardens, a community herb garden, an accessible garden, an apiary, a nursery, and a teaching garden. A meadow at the gardens’ center is ideal for picnics, yoga, bocce, and plenty more. Come and spend an afternoon exploring our special part of the Boston parks system!

About the Center The African Presidential Center at Boston University is an unprecedented and unique approach to studying democratization and free market reform in Africa. Through a residency program for former democratically elected African leaders and access to their papers, and through access to present democratically elected leaders, the Center provides a forum for them to share and a venue for others to benefit from their insights and expertise. The Center offers an exceptional opportunity to see the present phase of Africa's development through the eyes of the "architects of that change." The Center also serves as a setting for policy debates and deliberations on democratization and free market reform in Africa. The African Presidential Center complements an essential part of the academic missions of the African and African-American Studies programs at Boston University, as well as other departments with an international focus. The Center functions in several ways: The Center provides residential opportunities for democratically elected former African heads of state to write, lecture, and engage the university and the broader community on African issues and matters of interest relative to the continent for up to two-years; In addition to documenting the present phase of Africa's development, the Center functions as a venue to examine, debate, and contribute to the development of current policy regarding Africa. Former heads of state in residence, scholars, and students, among others, actively participate in policy discussions; Symposia and conferences are an integral part of the Center's activities; The Center publishes books, academic and policy oriented articles, conference proceedings, and the annual African Leaders State of Africa Report; Fundamental to the concept of the Center is that it functions, in part, like a U.S. Presidential library. This means that it has a public component, enabling citizens (opinion leaders and others) to develop a better understanding of the present realities and future potential of Africa; and The Center maintains and disseminates information on training experiences in Africa and sponsors students for such experiences. The African Presidential Center is an internationally recognized Center for research and dialogue on contemporary political and economic trends in Africa. By involving African leaders in the work of the Center - with an emphasis on acquiring and exploring ideas that emerge from Presidential documents and interviews - the African Presidential Center is uniquely positioned as a top international Center for the study of Africa. The Center's activities include: Providing current data and up-to-date analyses of political and economic trends in Africa in a form that is accessible to corporations and entities interested in developments in Africa; Acting as a magnet for researchers from other institutions and journalists interested in accessing in-depth and current information on Africa; Providing a forum to critique and hone policy approaches by a range of policy makers, such as members of the diplomatic community, multilateral institutions, non-governmental organizations, government ministries, and Broadcasting speeches and symposia sponsored by the Center through WBUR, BU's National Public Radio affiliate, and offering content for distribution on television through PBS, CNN and other outlets.
