History notes:

The Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at Harvard offers undergraduate and graduate courses in the French and Francophone, Italian, Portuguese and Luso- Brazilian, Spanish and Latin American literary traditions.

Programs in French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese language and literature date back many years at Harvard. In 1816, the Smith Chair was created. Over the years, its incumbents have included George Ticknor, Henry Longfellow, James Russell Lowell, Jeremiah Ford, Jean-Joseph Seznec, Amado Alonso, Herbert Dieckmann, and Raimundo Lida. The current home of the Department of Romance Languages, Boylston Hall, was originally built in 1857 with a bequest from Ward Nicholson Boylston.
