THE UNIVERSITY OF HARVARD

Harvard University is a private Ivy League research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts.


Founded in 1636 as Harvard College and named for its first benefactor,
the Puritan clergyman John Harvard, it is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United
States and one of the most prestigious and highly rated in the world.

The university is composed of ten academic faculties plus Harvard Radcliffe Institute. Arts and
Sciences offers study in a wide range of undergraduate and graduate academic disciplines, and
other faculties offer only graduate degrees, including professional degrees. Harvard has three
main campuses: the 209-acre (85 ha) Cambridge campus centered on Harvard Yard; an
adjoining campus immediately across Charles River in the Allston neighborhood of Boston; and
the medical campus in Boston's Longwood Medical Area. Harvard's endowment is valued at
$50.9 billion, making it the wealthiest academic institution in the world. Endowment income
enables the undergraduate college to admit students regardless of financial need and provide
generous financial aid with no loans. Harvard Library is the world's largest academic library
system, comprising 79 individual libraries holding about 20.4 million items.

very beautiful, charming and very fresh because there are
trees that decorate the courtyard of this campus.

Victorian Gothic design, by alumni William Robert Ware and Henry
Van Brunt, was selected in a blind competition. A 1907 publication
gives dimensions of 305 by 113 feet, with a height of 190 feet at
the tower;[12] a 2012 source gave a height of 195 feet, making it the
ninth-tallest building in Cambridge at that time
