Wednesday Walk: Harvard University

While in Boston, Whitley and I went to Harvard University. It is the oldest university (1636) in the United States and is super prestigious.


Memorial Hall	Entrance	Widner Library	The John Harvard Statue

There was a long line of people waiting in line to touch the John Harvard statue's foot. Really? Even after Covid, people want to wait in line to touch something that hundreds of other people touched? To each their own.

As we passed the statue I overhear a father talking to his child saying, "This is where you will come some day." There seemed to be a lot of families there, maybe inspiring their children to get a great education.

I was really sad that both Memorial Hall and the Widner Library required Harvard IDs. I wanted to see the John Singer Sargent murals in the library and the stained glass in Memorial Hall. Maybe someday? Anyone on Hive in Boston and have a Harvard ID?

So we wandered around the courtyard for a little bit, then went to the Art Museum.

After the Harvard Art Museum (REALLY GREAT) we went to the graduated education part of the university. I really liked it there, much quieter and some pretty great buildings too.
