The School's original home was in the Littauer Center, north of [[Harvard Yard]], which is now home to [[Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences|Harvard University]]'s Economics Department. The first students at the Graduate School were called Littauer Fellows, participating in a one-year course listing which later developed into the school's mid-career [[Master of Public Administration|Master in Public Administration]] program. <!-- In the late 1950s, a different entity called the "John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government" seems to have existed, alongside the Harvard Graduate School of Public Administration.<ref>{{Cite web |date=1958-10-28 |title=U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT – Administrator Resource Site |url=https://adminresource.fas.harvard.edu/files/admin-resource/files/harvard_affiliation_letter.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20221127022944/https://adminresource.fas.harvard.edu/files/admin-resource/files/harvard_affiliation_letter.pdf |archive-date=2022-11-26 |access-date=2022-11-26 |website=Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences |page=2}}</ref> What this entity was is unclear. --> In the 1960s, the School began to develop its current public policy degree and course curriculum associated with its Master in Public Policy program. ===Renaming and move=== In 1966, three years following [[Assassination of John F.
