Today we will get acquainted with Harvard University.
Let’s speak with numbers.
49 Nobel laureates graduated from Harvard University, 32 leaders of the country, and about 48 Pulitzer Prize winners. In the first decade of the 21st century, seven US presidents graduated from Harvard University.
The 3 lies of Harvard.
There is a statue of the “three lies” in Harvard. Statue of John Garwardine, who founded the university in early 1638. But, in fact, John Harvard, the founder of the university, was only one of the benefactors. In addition, Harvard was founded in 1636, not 1639. And what is more important is that the sculpture is not John Garwardine at all, it is a statue of some unknown student.
It is strictly forbidden to shoot commercial videos at the most famous university in America. From 1970th to the present day, no films have been shot at the university. And the well-known movie called “Social Network” was shoted in 2010 and many others were shot in other places. The library of “Widener” in Harvard is the second largest in the US: six floors above ground and four floors below. The number of students studying at Harvard is about 22,000, and 85% of them are foreign students.
I guess we can talk endlessly about this university, but today we will conclude this material with this. You can read more in our following materials.
