	Harvard Gazette: 2004 Harvard Board of Overseers election results
		The president of the Harvard Alumni Association Thursday (June 10) announced the results of the annual election of new members of the Harvard Board of Overseers.
		The primary function of the Board of Overseers is to encourage the University to maintain the highest attainable standards as a place of learning.
		Overseers carry out this mission by visiting faculties, departments, and other important programs throughout the University so that they can inform themselves about the quality of teaching, research, and administration and then identify problems and offer advice to faculties and University officials.

	Harvard Gazette: Board of Overseers senior officers elected for 2006-07
		An active participant in the process of visitation directed by the Board of Overseers, she has served as the first chair of the Committee to Visit the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and has been a leading member of the Committee to Visit the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
		The Board of Overseers of Harvard College was created by the General Court of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay in 1642, six years after the founding of what is now Harvard University.
		The Overseers are responsible for visiting Harvard's Schools and departments in order to assess the quality of their programs and recommend improvements, for consenting to certain acts of the Corporation, and for providing advice and counsel to the University on a wide range of issues important to Harvard's future.

	Harvard Board of Overseers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Harvard Board of Overseers (more formally The Honorable and Reverend The Board of Overseers) is the second of Harvard University's two governing boards.
		Although its function is more consultative and less hands-on than the President and Fellows of Harvard College, the Board of Overseers is sometimes referred to as the "senior" governing board because its formation predates the fellows' 1650 incorporation.
		Originally the overseers included, ex officio, the public officials and puritan clergy of Cambridge and the neighboring towns (hence the "honorable and reverend" of the title).

		Harvard is the second-largest pool of donated money, after the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which had $29 billion in assets at the end of last year.

		Harvard Yard is a grassy area of about 25 acres (0.1 km²), adjacent to Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which constitutes the oldest part and the center of the campus of Harvard University.
		The center of Harvard Yard is a wide grassy area known as Tercentenary Theater, framed by the monumental Widener Library and Memorial Church.

		The board of overseers votes to accept the offer, but are forced to reevaluate their decision by threats of mass resignation and sabotage by outraged faculty.
		She receives a regretful reply from Harvard University President Eliot "that there is as yet no provision for the medical education of women either in Harvard University or by the Society for Promoting the Collegiate Education of Women." She graduates from Boston University School of Medicine and practices for fifty years.
		With only a few weeks between Harvard's announcement and the beginning of the fall semester, twenty women apply; sixteen do not have the college training required of men; three were accepted to other schools and, though they may have preferred Harvard, they are not given the choice; that leaves only one who could enter.
