  2. Harvard College Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR)  Harvard history dates back to 1620, when over 17,000 Puritans migrated to New England and they realized a need to train clergy for the new commonwealth. It was first founded by ministers, and the first benefactor was John Harvard – after who the university was later named. In 1650, Harvard received its corporate charter and began teaching classes; it didn’t officially become a university until 1780.  Early Harvard University mainly taught religious studies, with over half of the graduates becoming ministers. This quickly changed, and in the 1760’s, only 15 percent of graduates were ministers. Harvard University students and graduates become an influential part of the early beginnings of the United States – ten of the first twelve U.S. presidents were graduates of Harvard University. The first graduate to become a U.S. president was John Adams – the second president.
