HistoryEdit

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>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="nySenateRes2023">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</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>Template:Cite book</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." <ref>Template:Cite news Template:Subscription required</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Maxwell's initial interest was in training all undergraduates for their roles as informed citizens in the American democracy; University officials convinced him the school should also provide professional training for future government officials and other public servants.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

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 main campus. The hall was dedicated by president Herbert Hoover on November 12, 1937.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> 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>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 1968, Maxwell professor Dwight Waldo presided over the Minnowbrook I conference, which established the foundations for New Public Administration.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Subsequent Minnowbrook II and III conferences were held in 1988 and 2008 at the eponymous Blue Mountain Lake retreat.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

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>Template:Cite news</ref> The result of the campaign was the Bohlin Cywinski Jackson-designed Eggers Hall, which opened in 1994.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</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>Template:Cite news</ref>
