哈佛大学是一所私立大学，常春藤联盟成员之一，位于美国马萨诸塞州
剑桥镇。任职时间长达40年的查尔斯?威廉?艾略特校长（1869～1909），使哈佛及其附属职业学院转变成一所集中的研究型大学。1900年，哈佛成为美国大学协会的创始成员之一。迄今为止，它已是美国历史最悠久的高等学府，也是北美第一个以及最古老的法人机构。从某种程度来说，哈佛的历史、影响力及财富已使它成为世界上最富盛誉的大学之一。
2. About Harvard University 认识哈佛
●History of Harvard University 追根溯源
Harvard is the oldest institution of higher education in the United
States, established in 1636 by vote of the Great and General Court
of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. It was named after the College’s
.rst benefactor, the young minister John Harvard. Upon his death in
1638, the young minister left his library and half his estate to
the institution. A statue of John Harvard stands today in front of
University Hall in Harvard Yard, and is perhaps the University’s
best known landmark.
In addition to two undergraduate colleges, Harvard College and
Radcliffe College, Harvard University has 11 graduate schools. Now
the University has grown from nine students with a single master to
an enrollment of more than 20,000 degree candidates including
undergraduate, graduate. There are more than 360,000 alumni2 living
in the U.S. and other countries in the world.
哈佛大学是美国历史最悠久的高等学府。1636年，由马萨诸塞湾殖民地大法院通过投票成立。学校是以首位捐赠者——年轻的牧师约翰?哈佛的名字命名。1638年，
他去世后，将自己的图书馆和一半的财产遗赠给了学校。今天，一尊约翰?哈佛的雕像矗立于哈佛校园大学楼前，或许这也是哈佛大学最著名的地标。
除哈佛学院与拉德克利夫学院两所本科学院外，哈佛大学还有11所研究生院。如今，学校已经从只有9位学生和1位教师发展成为拥有20,000名在校生的规模，这些学生包括本科生、研究生和高职生。有360,000多名校友生活在美国和世界其他国家。

Three Lies 三大谎言
Through a wide variety of the bookstores and cafes in "Harvard
square", you can see a great architecture built with grey granite.
This is the administration building of Harvard University, in front
of which stands a bronze statue. He is the minister John Harvard,
one fateful body to become the leader of the Harvard. With bright
eyes, he looks handsome, angular and gentle. His right hand presses
an open bible3, and his legs extend with the left foot slightly
putting out the base. The peculiarities is the dark brown shoes
with shiny toe and all its former Harvard admirers, without
exception, would touch his left foot. It is said that the people
who touch the foot can pass the examination and all wishes come
true. Inadvertently standing religious "a Century’s Caress",
Harvard is still staring deeply this land, which is full of passion
and dreams, and gives birth to ideals and legends.
The three lines are engraved on the base of the statue, but they
are well known as Harvard three lies. The .rst line is "John
Harvard", the following line is the "founder" and the third line is
"1638". At .rst glance, no matter whoever will understand "in the
1638 Harvard himself founded Harvard University." In fact, these
three simple statements actually don’t match the facts!
First, the statue was not built according to the true appearance of
Harvard，because John Harvard was dead prematurely4 and did not
leave any portraits or any heirs. The sculptor just selected a
handsome student to be the model and adopted Puritan dress in the
17th century. Then .nished this Harvard statue in high spirits
today. In other words, this portrait is just a stand-in for
Harvard.
Second, John Harvard is just the donor of the university and not
the founder as written on the base. Third, Harvard University was
built in 1636 not in 1638，which was written on the statue.
Obviously, the statue of Harvard has made a sort of joke with
people, but it also occasionally been parodied. It is said that a
group of students who rode the night, dressed the Harvard statue as
a super-warrior in the game. Under the tinker of them，the old
Harvard in the helmet of the protagonist in the game，with arm
relying on a machine gun, sat "solemnly" for a whole night . From
this，we can see the humor of history，perhaps just this interaction
across time and space greatly reduces the distance between Harvard
and people.
Although the statue of Harvard has“lied”，the three lies do not
forbid people from accepting it. It seems that truths and lies will
not stand in the mutually exclusive opposition in the distant past
and future , but rather two sides of a coin，which keep tips of the
people to make deep speculation about yesterday and today，past and
future.
穿过拥有各色书店和咖啡馆的“哈佛广场”，就能看到
一座用灰色花岗岩建成的巨大建筑。这就是哈佛的行政“大
学楼”，楼前耸立着一座铜像，他就是牧师约翰?哈佛——
一位冥冥中要成为哈佛永远的领路人。哈佛像看上去眉目清秀、目光炯炯、棱角分明、温文尔雅。他右手按着一本打开的圣经，双腿前伸，而左脚略伸出底座一截。特别之处在于原本深褐色的鞋尖显得格外锃亮，所有哈佛的仰慕者无一例外地都要摸一摸他的左脚尖。据说摸过此脚的人可以金榜题名、心想事成。无意间经受虔诚的“百年爱抚”之后，哈佛仍然深深地凝视着这片饱含激情与梦想、孕育理想与传奇的土地。
而铜像底座上雕刻的三行字，却是世人皆知的哈佛三
大谎言。第一行刻着“约翰?哈佛”，下面一行是“创办人”，第三行则是“1638”。乍一看，谁都会理解为“哈佛本人在1638年创办了哈佛大学”。实际上，这3个简单的陈述居然都与事实不符！
其一，铜像并非根据哈佛本人的真实相貌建造，因为约翰?哈佛英年早逝，既没有留下什么画像，也没有留下子嗣。雕塑家只好从学生中挑选了一个英俊的模特，又采纳了17世纪清教徒的装束，铸成今天这座神采飞扬的哈佛雕像。也就是说，现在的这座人像，只是哈佛的一个替身。
其二，约翰?哈佛只是大学的捐赠者，而不是底座上写的创建者。
其三，哈佛的建校时间是1636年，而不是铜像上写的1638年。
很显然，哈佛像和人们开了一个不大不小的玩笑，而它自身同样偶尔会被恶搞。据说，一群学生曾趁着夜色，将哈佛铜像装扮成游戏中的超级勇士。哈佛老先生在他们的鼓捣下，顶上了游戏主角的头盔，手臂上靠着一把机枪，很是“庄严”地坐了一夜。历史的风趣往往就在这里，也许正是这种跨越时空的互动，大大缩短了哈佛与人们的距离。
尽管哈佛雕像“说了谎”，不过这三大谎言并不妨碍人们用心接纳这座哈佛铜像。在更为久远的过去与未来，真理与谎言似乎并不是一个水火不容的对立者，而更像一个铜板的两面，不断向人们提示着关于昨天与今天、过去与未来的深刻思辨。
