Holyoke himself recalled at least 50 occasions when he had to explain to a curious questioner that he knew nothing definite about the chair's history.
Holyoke gave the chair a personal Harvard touch by crowning the front posts with large, globular oak pommels of his own making.

 Rough Notes: Holyoke stakes its future on independent agents   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Holyoke was born in 1728 and entered Harvard at the age of 14.
While, strategically, Holyoke has focused its activities on the New England states and New York, Massachusetts is by far the company's largest area of operation, with about 70% of its overall business conducted there.
Asked how independent agents, the marketing lifeblood of Holyoke, can possibly survive in such a chaotic environment, Ryder says: "It's up to the agent to do what he or she does best and can only do best, and that is provide the personalized service not available from alternative distribution systems.

The chair, which a professional appraiser valued at $60,000 to $70,000, is accompanied by a 1749 portrait of former University President Edward Holyoke, Class of 1705, painted by John Greenwood.
Holyoke served the second longest term of any president in Harvard’s history—from 1737 to 1769—and was famous on campus for defending the rational beliefs of what contemporary religious revivalists called “Godless Harvard,” according to Stephen Shoemaker, who is the teaching fellow for Religion 1513, “History of Harvard and Its Presidents.”
Shoemaker said that in his day Holyoke was nicknamed “Guts” by students “for his substantial girth,” and that today College tour guides frequently recount to prospective students his unsuccessful efforts to save old Harvard Hall from a fire.

 Belchertown, Massachusetts: Namesake of Governor Jonathan Belcher
Interestingly, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson were appointed members of the first committee to prepare a device for the Great Seal of the United States, which in its final form bears such a strong resemblance to the Belcher coat of arms.
Located in the general region of Holyoke, Amherst, and Northampton, Massachusetts, the 1731 settlement was named Belcher's Town (or Belchertown, as it was later written) in 1761 out of respect for Governor Belcher (1682-1757).
Interestingly, the manor house of Governor Belcher's ancestors--also the ancestors of Edward Belcher of Boston--was situated in Northamptonshire, England.) Later, one of Jonathan Edwards' daughters married Governor Belcher's friend, Col. Timothy Dwight, and their son Timothy Dwight was President of Yale College during the early nineteenth century.
