I have knew about the Massachusetts Hall where was the president works and also the most quietes students’ dorm. In the right of Massachusetts Hall is Harvard Hall where is used to be a library. Harvard's library system grew from a bequest in 1638 by John Harvard of 400 books. Over the next century the library grew to become the largest in America, but in 1764 a major fire destroyed almost all of Harvard's books and scientific instruments. One student brought a book out of the library slinkingly, because there was a rule that the most precious books cannot take out of library. After the fire this student returned the book to Harvard. This book became the only one of John Harvard’s donation. The Harvard president commended him but also expel him from Harvard.
The Harvard library is the oldest library in America and also is the largest universtity library in the world. There were about fifteen million books in Harvard library. It has the most books in world’s university libraries. I also saw there was a students read in front of this library.
I think everyone wants to study in Harvard, especially the Harvard Business School. I wish I can have the chance to learn The Case Method in HBS.
