Harvard University Video Tour
Welcome to Harvard, the most famous and iconic University in the world. Located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Harvard is one of eight Ivy League schools in the U.S. Its motto is Veritas, meaning "truth" and its school color is Crimson. The campus at Harvard sprawls across 380 acres, with the well-known Harvard Yard located at the center of its surrounding dormitories.
Founded in 1636, Harvard is the oldest academic institution in the United States. Interestingly, it is also the first and oldest corporation as well. The school is comprised of ten separate faculties, with 2400 professors, 6700 undergraduates and 12,000 graduate students. The legacy of Harvard includes eight American presidents and many world-renowned notables.
Nine management faculties oversee Harvard's 12 schools and colleges. Each unit is headed by a Dean, who is appointed by the President, and each is directly responsible for its own finances and organization.
Harvard offers one of the best educations in the world, has one of the most fascinating histories of any U.S. landmark, and provides one of the most exciting tour opportunities in all of Boston and New England.
