哈佛大学为什么叫PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF HARVARD COLLEGE

President and Fellows of Harvard College，又称Harvard Corporation，实际上并不是哈佛大学，而是哈佛大学的两个管理机构之一（另一个是Harvard Board of Overseers）。它于1690年有马萨诸塞州最高法院批准成立。由于当时哈佛大学还叫做哈佛学院（Harvard College），所以这个机构的名字也沿用了此称呼。

President and Fellows of Harvard College由校长和6名成员组成。成员大多是非哈佛人士，对哈佛的日常管理和运营提供指导和咨询

很多美国总统毕业于此大学!

你在什么地方看到这个？就是Harvard university吧

意思是哈佛出身的总统及其幕僚/同事

The President and Fellows of Harvard College (also known as the Harvard Corporation) is the more fundamental of Harvard University's two governing boards. (The other is the Harvard Board of Overseers.) On 9 June 1650, at the request of President Henry Dunster, the Great and General Court of Massachusetts (i.e., the colonial legislature) issued the body's charter, making it the oldest corporation in the The Americas. In fact, due to the history of the Harvard Corporation, its set of laws is written into the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. (Note that although Harvard is today generally referred to as a "University" the corporation's legal title still formally refers to "Harvard College.")
When it was originally founded, the corporation was probably intended to be a body of the college's resident instructors, like the fellows of an Oxbridge college. However, from an early date it instead fell into what has become the familiar American model of a governing board -- an outside body, made up mostly of people not involved in Harvard's daily life, which meets regularly to consult with the day-to-day head, the president (whom it appoints). It is self-perpetuating, selecting new members for itself whenever a vacancy opens; in recent years it has always comprised six fellows in addition to the president.
