Harvard University's first cyclotron was dismantled and moved from its original location in Boston to Los Alamos, NM, which was the center for atomic bomb assembly. This cyclotron has never been analyzed in depth. This paper elucidates and analyzes the process through which Harvard's first cyclotron was developed. It aims to clarify the distinctive features of cylotron development at Harvard. Specifically, it desscribes the role of Harvard's president James Conant in the decision to construct a cyclotron; the role fo private enterprise in acheiving the cyclotron, and the difficulties encountered in securing funds.
