“하버드대는왜이름이하버드야?”하버드를방문한친구가필자에게던졌던바로그질문에명쾌하게대답하기위하여시작한지적발굴작업의결과물로서시작된이책은,하버드캠퍼스에얽힌각종역사적이야기들을가볍고부담없이읽을수있도록엮었고,한눈에보기좋도록삽화와사진도많이넣었다.

원래사람들은이야기를좋아한다.그것도흔히들을수없는흥미로운이야기를주고받으며같이재미있어하다보면누구라도즐거움을느낀다.그래서시간가는줄모르고서로이야기를나누며함께담소의꽃을피우면허물없이가까워지고친해지지않을수없다.

필자가하버드에유학하고있는동안부모님을비롯하여외교부동기들,학교와사회의선후배들등수많은지인들의하버드캠퍼스투어를무료가이드한덕분에,필자는하버드에관한고전문헌등온갖자료들을통하여약390여년간쌓여온하버드역사를두루두루살펴보게되었다.

하버드대학교는미국에서가장오래된고등교육기관으로,1636년설립인가되어2년뒤인1638년에개교하였다.하버드(Harvard)라는대학이름은,학교가개교한지1년도안되어시설과재정이열악하여문을닫았을때,거금을기부하여기사회생시킨존하버드(JohnHarvard)라는청교도성직자의이름을따서지은것이다.

대학의교훈인VERITAS(베리타스)는라틴어로“진리”라는뜻으로서,교표문양도‘3권의책’위에‘VERITAS’글자가새겨진방패모양이다.캠퍼스를가로지르는Charles강에서의아이비리그대항조정경기때선수들과응원단에게하버드벽돌건물색인진홍색스카프를나눠주면서시작된이래진홍색‘crimson’이공식적인하버드의상징색이다.

하버드대학교는찰스강을중심으로강북의CambridgeCity메인캠퍼스와강남의BostonCity올스턴캠퍼스,BostonLongwood의메디컬캠퍼스에각각위치하고있다.5,457에이커(22,084,479㎡=약668만평)의부지에진홍빛의웅장하고아름다운건물의대학,대학원및전문대학원에서,약25,000여명의정규과정학생들이약20,000명의교수진및교직원등관계자들의지도및지원아래치열한학업과연구및인턴십,그리고각종동아리활동및창업활동등을하고있다.그렇게살아숨쉬는하버드는지금전세계에40만명이상의동문을가지고있다.

학생들은대부분매년8월말에도착하여,1학기인가을학기를9~12월,2학기인봄학기를2~5월에이수하고,소정의과정을통과하여학위를취득하면5월말경에졸업을한다.

하버드대의학비는연간수업료와기숙사비에개인생활비까지포함하면상당히만만치않은수준이지만,하버드대학생의약70%가일정수준의장학금혜택을받고있다.특히하버드대학교는캠퍼스생활에잘적응하게끔하며,풍성하고보람찬학부경험및강력한인맥형성을할수있도록기숙학교(ResidentialCollege)제도를채택하고있기때문에,대부분의하버드생들이4년동안캠퍼스내기숙사에서먹고자고한다.물론단체생활이싫은학생이나석·박사과정대학원생은좀비싸더라도PeabodyTerrace와같은원룸(미국에서는Studio라함)및아파트기숙사를얻어나가살수도있다.

설립초기하버드대는성직자양성을위하여신학과성경연구위주로교육하였으나,미국이영국으로부터독립한18세기부터일반대학으로바뀌기시작하였고,1977년남녀공학을목표로래드클리프여자대학(RadcliffeCollege)을합병한이래,1999년에마침내하버드대학교학위수여에있어서도차별이없는완전한남녀평등이실현되기에이른다.그리하여오늘날하버드대학교는자타가공인하는세계최고,최대의학문의전당으로자리매김되어있다.

이책은위와같은하버드의정사(正史)에기반하되,그간세월에묻혀잊혀져있던숨은뒷이야기들까지먼지를털어내고윤이나게닦아알기쉽고재미있게엮었다.뒷이야기라고해서근거없는뒷담화같은뜬소문이아니라,정확하고유의미한역사적사실만을골라실었다.

다만,이번에는지면의제약상행정대학원인케네디스쿨,경영대학원,공학대학원,의학대학원,박물관,미술관등을함께다루지못해못내아쉽지만,다양한자료들이이미잘정리돼있기때문에다음기회를기약하기로한다.

바라기는,많은분들이이책을재미있게읽고,매년8백만명이상이방문하는세계적관광명소이기도한하버드대를둘러보기위한가이드필독서로삼는다면저자로서는더할나위없는보람일것이다.
거기에더하여,특히자라나는청소년들이이책을통하여HarvardVisionTrip을하면서꿈과이상을펼치는진로계획을세워,언젠가“이책때문에동기부여가돼열심히영어공부를하여동문하버디언이됐습니다.”라며하버드동문회에서만나서로명함을나누며반갑게인사할수있게되기를기대한다.

끝으로,원고를보시고흔쾌히출판을허락해주신박영사임재무전무님께감사의말씀을드리며,전통있고이름높은출판사에서좋은책으로만들어빛을보게해주신편집부배소연차장님,조영은대리님,디자인팀이영경대리님,기획/마케팅팀박부하과장님,제작팀고철민차장님,김원표사원님등임직원여러분들의노고에도고개숙여고마움을표한다.

아울러,하버드에유학중인아들을만나러오셔서함께하버드야드를거닐면서,‘하버드의숨은뒷이야기’책출간에대하여같이구상하며많은이야기를나눴던사랑하는부모님께이책을바치고자한다.
