==History==
[[File:Abraham Lincoln Statue and Maxwell School, Syracuse University, 2012.jpg|thumb|Abraham Lincoln Statue by sculptor [[James Earle Fraser (sculptor)|James Earle Fraser]], sitting in front of the Maxwell School.]]

The precursor to the Maxwell School was the [[Training School for Public Service]], founded by New York City’s Bureau of Municipal Research, which was transferred to Syracuse University in 1924.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-11-13 |title=The Training School for Public Service {{!}} "An Adventure in Democracy" |url=https://blogs.baruch.cuny.edu/ipaprocessing/2014/11/the-training-school-of-public-service/ |access-date=2024-01-12 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref name="nySenateRes2023">{{cite web |last1=May |author-link=Rachel May |first1=Rachel |title=NY Senate Resolution 2023-J1717 |url=https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2023/J1717 |publisher=[[New York State Senate]] |access-date=2 December 2024 |date=October 3, 2024 |language=en}}</ref> The school was initially a vehicle for municipal reform, its students serving as a pool of researchers tasked with uncovering examples of the corruption of [[Tammany Hall]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Caro |first=Robert A. |title=The power broker: Robert Moses and the fall of New York |date=1975 |publisher=Random House |isbn=978-0-394-72024-1 |series=Vintage books |location=New York}}</ref>

The school gained its name after George Holmes Maxwell, a [[Boston]]-based [[patent attorney]] and Syracuse alumnus. In 1924, Maxwell donated $500,000 to the university to establish a school which would aim "to cull from every source those principles, facts, and elements which, combined, make up our rights and duties and our value and distinctiveness as United States citizens."

The Maxwell School was dedicated on October 3, 1924, and was the first program to offer a graduate professional degree in [[public administration]]. That [[Master of Public Administration]] program is the oldest continuously operating, university-based MPA in the United States.<ref name="nySenateRes2023"/>

In 1937, the school took its full name and moved into Maxwell Hall, a purpose-built building on the west end of Syracuse University's [[Syracuse University#Main campus|main campus]]. The hall was dedicated by president [[Herbert Hoover]] on November 12, 1937.<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Rodgers |first1=Jeffrey Pepper |title=The More Things Change |url=https://www.maxwell.syr.edu/news/article/the-more-things-change-add |access-date=2 December 2024 |magazine=[[Maxwell Perspective]] |date=July 1, 2014 |language=en}}</ref> <!-- In 1960, [[Harry Truman]] showed up on April 23, 1960 per --> In that year, Syracuse University's graduate programs and undergraduate instruction in the social sciences were moved into Maxwell, giving the school the unusual hybrid structure that remains today.<ref>{{cite web |title=Maxwell History: The Founding and Growth of the Maxwell School |url=https://www.maxwell.syr.edu/deans/Maxwell_History/ |website=Syracuse University |access-date=19 March 2021}}</ref>

In 1968, Maxwell professor [[Dwight Waldo]] presided over the Minnowbrook I conference, which established the foundations for [[New Public Administration]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8wHJgMggPkMC |title=Democracy and Public Administration|first=Richard C.|last=Box|date=19 February 2018|publisher=M.E.

The school's rapid growth necessitated the 1990 "Campaign for Maxwell", which raised capital to fund a new building to accommodate the expansion. The ''Holden Observatory'', built in 1887, was moved to create space for a new 5-story building.<ref>{{cite news |title=Campus Life: Syracuse; 1887 Observatory, All 375 Tons of It, Moves to New Site |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/06/30/nyregion/campus-life-syracuse-1887-observatory-all-375-tons-of-it-moves-to-new-site.html |url-access=subscription |access-date=31 March 2022 |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=30 June 1991 |at=Section 1; p. 32}}</ref> The result of the campaign was the [[Bohlin Cywinski Jackson]]-designed Eggers Hall, which opened in 1994.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bcj.com/public/projects/project/13.html|title=Eggers Hall / Maxwell Expansion|access-date=19 February 2018|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110314124518/http://www.bcj.com/public/projects/project/13.html|archive-date=14 March 2011}}</ref> Eggers Hall adjoins Maxwell Hall at the corner, together forming an L-shaped complex that houses the present-day Maxwell School.

In 2013, the Maxwell School and the [[Center for Strategic and International Studies]] entered into a collaborative agreement that included headquartering all Maxwell operations at CSIS.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.maxwell.syr.edu/news/stories/Maxwell_School_of_Syracuse_University_and_Center_for_Strategic_and_International_Studies_announce_major_collaboration-154618815910/ |title=Maxwell School of Syracuse University and Center for Strategic and International Studies announce major collaboration|date=2013-11-06 |website=The Maxwell School |language=en|access-date=2020-02-11}}</ref>
