Harvard Yard
Just after lunch, we stopped at Harvard University and learned the history behind this prestigous school. All student must dorm in their first year and our guide pointed out where Al Gore and JFK roomed. Harvard has the country's 2nd largest library and students used to have to pass a swim test to get a library card. Boston is full of stories surrounding every building and tradition. -G

With the red bricks leading the way, we just saw many famous places. It was fun to see Paul Revere's cemetery, the Boston common, and the Old North Church.

When local Bostonians wanted everyone to have education, they made a very small college called Harvard. Today, Harvard is one of the best colleges in the country.
