The Saint-Germain Cemetery (cimetière Saint-Germain) or Saint-Pierre Cemetery (cimetière Saint-Pierre) was a rectangular cemetery in Paris, first attested in 1259 (1259) and used by Protestants from 1598 to 1604 onwards. It was sited in the north-west corner of the former rue Taranne and rue des Saints-Pères, alongside the chapelle des Saint-Pères (on the site now occupied by square de la Charité at 186 boulevard Saint-Germain. It measured 27 toise by 8 toise (54 by 16 m (177 by 52 ft)). Its site is now covered by Square Taras-Chevtchenko. Owned by the parish of Saint-Sulpice, it was used for plague victims and lepers until 1544. Article 45 of the Edict of Nantes noted it as one of two Protestant cemeteries in Paris (the other was La Trinité Cemetery). The parish council required them to leave it in 1604 and they moved to the nearby Saints-Pères Cemetery. The Hôpital de la Charité briefly used the cemetery from 1604 to 1609.

Sciences Po

The Paris Institute of Political Studies (French: Institut d'études politiques de Paris), commonly referred to as Sciences Po Paris or Sciences Po (IPA: [sjɑ̃s po]), is a semi-public grande école and grand établissement in Paris, with additional campuses in Dijon, Le Havre, Menton, Nancy, Poitiers, and Reims, in France. Sciences Po is a specialised institute for the study of social sciences, offering courses and research in political science, history, economics, law, and sociology. Sciences Po originates in the École libre des sciences politiques, a private school of higher learning founded in Paris in 1872 by sociologist Émile Boutmy. Boutmy aimed at modernising education for French civil servants, by giving additional lectures to classics graduates, which had historically dominated the profession. Throughout the 20th century, it acquired a substantial role in educating the growing number of people entering civil service in the Third to Fifth Republic. In 1945, the school was refounded as a semi-public Institut, after criticism of the attitude of its staff during WW2 and subsequent calls for its closure.After a reform in 1985, Sciences Po began offering full degrees in the social sciences as a primary education for its students. Since the mid-1990s, Sciences Po’'s curriculum has been substantially reformed to broaden its focus and to prepare students for the private sector as well as civil service, and has in accordance with the Bologna process implemented bachelor's and master degrees as its education model. The Sciences Po curriculum has been expanded to social sciences such as economics, law, and sociology, in addition to its original curriculum in political science and history. As of 2021, 80% of Sciences Po graduates choose careers in the private sector.The institute is a member of the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs (APSIA) and the Sorbonne Paris Cité group.
