[
Walk to the John Harvard statue, between University Hall and Weld. As you walk, talk
about security (i.e., blue lights, HUPD,swipe access, escort system, van service]

Fifth Stop, Old Yard
John Harvard Statue
Statue of Three Lies: The front ofthe statue reads "John Harvard, Founder, 1638."
1. First, John Harvard was not Harvard's founder. Harvard was founded by the
Massachusetts Bay Colony as the "Newtovvne College." When he died, John
Harvard donated half of his estate to the college, so they renamed it in his honor.
2 Second, Harvard was founded in 1636. 1638 was the year in the college was
.
renamed Harvard.
3. Lastly, and perhaps most egregiously, that is not John Harvard. Nobody knows what
John Harvard looks like because any known portraits ofhim burned in a fire when
Harvard Hall was the school's library in the early 1700s. There are thus some
competing stories about who exactly this man is.
One explanation is that when the sculptor, Daniel Chester French, came to Harvard to work
on this statue, he plucked the "most Harvard looking" man from Harvard Yard to be his
model. Another story relates to the fact that many of Harvard's upperclass houses are named
after former University presidents. For example, Lowell House, where we are heading next,
is named after former president Lowell. There was one president, though,that Harvard felt it
could not name a house after, and that was president Hoar: H-O-A-R. Could you imagine the
PR nightmare if Harvard freshmen excitedly called their parents to tell them they would be
living in Hoar House next year? So Harvard chose to honor President Hoar in a different
way, by allowing his descendant, Bernard Hoar,to sit for this statue.
[
Walk to the Lowell Courtyard, going down Holyoke Street on the side with UHS. Point out
the Tstation things you enjoy in the Square, HUHS(24-hour physical and mental health

Last Stop, Lowell Courtyard/MAC Quad
Blocking (if this hasn't already been covered in the info session/at previous stop)
• How it works, don't have to live with your blockmates within the house
• Stay in the house for 3 years, Housing is guaranteed for four years and 97% of
students will live on campus all four years.
• Each ofthe twelve upper-class houses accommodates 300-500 students, and each
House staff will include professors, tutors, advisers and visiting faculty.
Who's in the house
• House Masters ("parents" ofthe house),tutors ("big brothers and sisters" ofthe
house, all academic fields and pre-professional), resident dean(academic and
residential adviser), know dining staff, security guard, etc.
• re-emphasize residential advising
What's in the house (facilities)
• EVERY HOUSE:Dining hall, library, computer lab, laundry room, meeting rooms
• Other: gym,rock-climbing wall, pottery studio, darkroom, dance studio, band room,
grille, etc.
o open to students from all houses AND freshmen
• Athletic facilities are <10 minutes away from here
House Life /Why the houses add so much to a student's experience:
• What you love about your house, or what you are most looking forward to about
house life
• Talk about what's special about your house(formals, traditions, opera, field days,
house masters, etc.)
• You get your diploma at graduation in your house (house masters know you/care/ are
proud of you)

Example conclusion:"I'm so glad you're visiting Harvard. It's a really great place. We have
amazing opportunities, both inside and outside the classroom, and incredible resources. But
above all, pretty much any Harvard student would tell you that the best part ofthis school is
the people (professors, tutors, staff, etc., but especially fellow students)."
• How to get back to the yard and to the square
• Final Questions? I'll stick around for a few minutes so come talk to me afterward if
you need anything.
