	John Harvard (politician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Harvard, PC, OM (born June 4, 1938 in Glenboro, Manitoba) is a journalist, politician and office holder in Manitoba, Canada.
		Harvard was elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 1988 election as a Liberal, defeating incumbent Progressive Conservative George Minaker by 18,695 votes to 16,993 in the middle-class suburban riding of Winnipeg—St. James (in the previous election, the Liberal candidate had finished third).
		Harvard supported Paul Martin for the Liberal Party leadership over a period of several years, and it was perhaps for this reason that he was never called into the cabinet of Jean Chrétien.

	John Hume, a leader fighting for peace--Christina Murphy
		John Hume’s arrest and the lawsuit as a result of the arrest were significant in that they made the presence of the army illegal in Northern Ireland, which was a contributing factor to the suspension of the government and direct rule from London.
		Amid this tension, discussions took place between John Hume and Gerry Adams, the President of Sinn Fein, the Irish Republican party dedicated to ending British rule in Ireland and the party considered to be the political arm of the Irish Republican Army.
		Despite the fact that they are both nationalist parties, John Hume had previously refused to negotiate with Sinn Fein due to the rumors of their connections with the Irish Republican Army.

	washingtonpost.com: John Adams
		John Adams was a lawyer and a farmer, a graduate of Harvard College, the husband of Abigail Smith Adams, the father of four children.
		The first John Adams, remembered as Deacon John, was a farmer and shoemaker, a man of "sturdy, unostentatious demeanor," who, like his father, "played the part of a solid citizen," as tithing man, constable, lieutenant in the militia, selectman, and ultimately church deacon, taking his place on the deacon's bench before the pulpit.
		John was enrolled the next day in a private school down the road where, kindly treated by a schoolmaster named Joseph Marsh, he made a dramatic turn and began studying in earnest.

	The Harvard Guide: U.S. Presidents and Honorary Degrees
		In 1945, the Harvard Corporation voted to permit freelance journalists and war veterans who formerly worked as newspapermen to apply for Nieman Fellowships in Journalism.
		After George Washington's Continental Army forced the British to leave Boston in March 1776, the Harvard Corporation and Overseers voted on April 3, 1776, to confer an honorary degree upon the general, who accepted it that very day (probably at his Cambridge headquarters in Craigie House).
		This has resulted in part from a tendency to sneer at a certain type of so-called politician, and in part from a lack of definitive human interest in questions of government.

	Harvard University Press: Franklin of Philadelphia by Esmond Wright
		The most original and most delightful of the Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin was publisher and printer, essayist and author, businessman and "general," scientist and philologist, politician and diplomat, moralist and sage--and a thoroughly rational patriot who was a major force in winning his country's independence and securing its life in the Constitution.
		Born poor in Cotton Mather's Boston, he was soon at ease in Quaker Philadelphia, and later in royal London, and in elegant Paris.
		His contemporary John Adams thought little of his political abilities, and the Federalist pamphleteer William Cobbett called him a "crafty and lecherous old hypocrite." In the next century, Mark Twain, Hawthorne, and Melville did not value him; still later, D. Lawrence despised the middle-class morality he promoted.
