Harvard University



Today we are lucky enough to have an opporunity to visit Harvard, which is famous in all over the world, and it is everyone's dream to study here. There is a student of Harvard to be our guide to introduce for us, she tells us many things about Harvard, and lead us to skim over the main part of the campus.





Harvard celebrated its 350th anniversary in 1986, it is the oldest institution of higher learning in the united states. It is established in 1636 by vote of the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and was named for its first benefactor, John Harvard of Charlestown, a young minister who, upon his death in 1638, left his library and half his estate to the new institution. And this university is named according to John Harvard.

The campus of Harvard is very beautiful, lots of trees and the buildings are diverse, each building has its own unique characteristic. It attracts me not only because the beautiful campus enviroment, but also the great acdemic atmosphere.
