Question: Which university was established in 1636: Harvard University or Massachusetts Institute of Technology?
Context: The concept of a youth leadership center was originally developed at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government in January 2008.  The proposal for a month-long leadership program, Building Bridges Through Leadership Training (BBLT), was jointly developed by Ejaj Ahmad, then a graduate student at Harvard University, and Shammi S. Quddus, then an undergraduate student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).  The proposal was one of a hundred college projects awarded a grant by Projects for Peace in 2008. William R. Roush is an American organic chemist.  He was born on February 20, 1952 in Chula Vista, California.  Roush studied chemistry at the University of California Los Angeles (B.S. 1974) and Harvard University (Ph.D. 1977 under Robert Burns Woodward).  Following a year postdoctoral appointment at Harvard, he joined that faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  In 1987, Dr. Roush moved to Indiana University and was promoted to Professor in 1989 and Distinguished Professor in 1995.  Two years later, he moved to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and served as the Warner Lambert/Parke Davis Professor of Chemistry.  He served as chair of the University of Michigan's Department of Chemistry from 2002-2004.  In 2004 Professor Roush relocated with his group to the Jupiter, Florida campus of the Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) where he currently serves as Professor of Chemistry, Associate Dean of the TSRI graduate program and Executive Director of Medicinal Chemistry. Phillip T. and Susan M. Ragon Institute is a medical institute founded in 2009 at the Massachusetts General Hospital by the funding from founder and CEO of InterSystems Phillip Ragon and his wife Susan Ragon to find vaccine for diseases of the immune system, particularly AIDS.  The institute hopes to bring in scientists from Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a level I trauma center which is the largest teaching hospital affiliated with the Harvard University Medical School. The Eli and Edythe L. Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard ( ), often referred to as the Broad Institute, is a biomedical and genomic research center located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.  The institute is independently governed and supported as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research organization under the name Broad Institute Inc., and is partners with Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, and the five Harvard teaching hospitals. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  It is often ranked as one of the world's most prestigious universities. The Journal of Accounting and Economics is a peer-reviewed academic journal focusing on the fields of accounting and economics.  The editors-in-chief are R. L. Watts (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), J. L. Zimmerman (University of Rochester), R. W. Holthausen (University of Pennsylvania), S. P. Kothari (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), J. Core (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), M. Hanlon (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), W. R. Guay (University of Pennsylvania), and J. Wu (University of Rochester). Francis ("Frank") Humphreys Storer (March 27, 1832 – July 30, 1914) was an American chemist known for his work in agricultural chemistry.  He studied under Josiah Parsons Cooke at the Lawrence Scientific School (now known as the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences).  He later was professor of general and industrial chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1865 to 1870, and dean of the Bussey Institution at Harvard University from 1870 to 1907.  At MIT he co-authored with Charles W. Eliot the first Laboratory Manual of Inorganic Chemistry written in the English language.  Storer's father was David H. Storer, a prominent physician and naturalist, and his older brother was Horatio R. Storer, a gynecologist and anti-abortion activist.  He was good friends Robert H. Richards, a mining engineer, and Charles Eliot, who would become president of Harvard University, and married his sister Catherine Eliot in 1871. Harvard University is a private Ivy League research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, established in 1636, whose history, influence, and wealth have made it one of the world's most prestigious universities. Harvard ROTC was one of the first Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) units in the country, founded in 1916.  The original program was led by Captain Constant Cordier.  By the fall of 1952 forty percent of the incoming freshmen class at Harvard University enrolled in programs that led to a ROTC commission.  Harvard has the third most graduates who have received the Medal of Honor.  With eighteen recipients, only West Point and the US Naval Academy have more.  In 1969, in the middle of sometimes violent protests over the Vietnam War, Harvard downgraded the status of ROTC to an extracurricular activity.  The cited reason was over academic standards on coursework.  The military’s official departure from Harvard began in the years that followed.  For the next several decades Harvard’s connection to ROTC was by allowing their students to take ROTC courses at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  By 1994, in the midst of the controversy over the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (DADT) law on homosexuality, Harvard committed to upholding ROTC ties, but only through indirect alumni contributions.  This compromise prevented all ties from being severed as was recommended in the 1992 faculty committee report.  Harvard University President Drew Faust promised a return of ROTC to campus, once DADT was repealed, in a speech with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Mike Mullen at the Kennedy School of Government on 17 November 2010.  In December 2010 Congress passed a bill to repeal President Bill Clinton’s 1993 DADT Policy.  On March 4, 2011, Harvard University President Drew Faust signed an agreement with Navy Secretary Ray Mabus formally recognizing the return of Naval ROTC to Harvard’s campus.  According to the agreement's terms, a Director of Naval ROTC would be appointed, and Harvard would provide funding for the program.  The Navy agreement was structured to go into effect when the repeal of DADT was implemented, and was followed by a similar agreement with the Army.  President Barack Obama, who in his 2011 State of the Union address called on all universities to open their doors to ROTC, responded through his spokesman by saying: David James Mooney, PhD (born November 1, 1964) is Robert P. Pinkas Family Professor of Bioengineering at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.  He is also a founding core faculty member at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University.  Born in Madison, Wisconsin, he earned his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (PhD advisor: Robert Langer).  He did his post-doctoral studies at Harvard University under the supervision of Dr. Joseph Vacanti, MD.  David Mooney started his career as an Assistant Professor at The University of Michigan and he stayed there until 2004 when he moved to Harvard University.  Mooney is a member of both the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Medicine.  In addition, David Mooney is a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors.
