Albert W. 43 and Katharine E. Merck, enthusiastic advocates for excellence in public and private education, have given $15 million to Harvard to strengthen teacher training and instructional technology. With gifts to the Graduate School of Education (GSE) and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS), the Mercks will enable the University to share its pedagogical research with teachers of students of all ages around the world, and help improve the quality of undergraduate instruction in Harvard College.https://dev.news.harvard.edu/gazette/wp-content/uploads/2003/06/10-merck1-450.jpg
