Harvard University is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. It celebrated its 350th birthday in 1986. Since its birth hundreds of years ago, the university has grown from nine students with a single teacher to more than 18,000 degree candidates. Over 14,000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,000 teachers and professors. Seven presidents of the United States were graduates of Harvard, and it has produced 40 Nobel Prize winners.

Harvard College was built in 1636 and was named for John Harvard, its first benefactor(捐助人）. John Harvard was a young priest .He died in 1638 and left his library and half his money to the new institution. Nowadays, Harvard is one of the richest university in the world.

Who is a typical Harvard student? The answer is that there is no such person. They come from all over the United States and more than 100 other countries. In 1997, Mary Fasano became the oldest person to get a Harvard degree when she graduated at the age of 89.

The John Harvard Statue（雕像）, located in front of University Hall, was completed in 1984 and is now known as ‘The Statue of Three Lies（謊言）’. Although the writing on the statue reads ‘John? Harvard, Founder, 1938’, none of the writing is true. The statue is not really John Harvard, since no pictures of Mr Harvard has ever been found; John Harvard was not the founder（創(chuàng)建者） of Harvard College; and the College started in 1636. However, the statue is very popular with tourists, and each year, thousands of visitors touch John Harvard’s shoe for luck.
