	A History of Harvard College (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Harvard College was established in 1636 by vote of the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and was named for its first benefactor, John Harvard of Charlestown, a young minister who, upon his death in 1638, left his library and half his estate to the new institution.
		After being housed in or near Harvard Yard during freshman year, students are assigned to a House in which they will live for the remainder of their undergraduate careers (a thirteenth House primarily serves graduate students but has some nonresident undergraduate affiliates and a small number of students living in the Co-Ops).
		In addition, Rudenstine stressed the importance of keeping Harvard's doors open to students from across the economic spectrum, the task of adapting the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious financial constraints, and the challenge of living together in a diverse community committed to freedom of expression.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: A Mascot for Us
		Clergyman John Harvard is already aptly honored by the name of this institution; to dub our athletic squads (and our students in general) the Harvard John Harvards would be obtuse.
		I suggest that we, the students of Harvard College, follow the example of the boys of 1875 and hold a plebiscite to choose a mascot to replace John Harvard.
		This generation of Harvard students should be honored to have the opportunity to add such a valuable piece of tradition to the heritage of our venerable institution.

	Harvard Gazette: Bells ring out for Installation
		The bells of Southwark Cathedral in London - John Harvard's baptismal church - rang in 1936 for the Tercentenary celebrations; and since 1989 the bells of the city of Cambridge have rung at the conclusion of every Harvard Commencement.
		The College had use of the church's bell, Harvard's first Commencement was held in the church's meetinghouse, and one of the chief reasons for selecting Cambridge as the site of the College was the proximity of this church and its minister, the Rev. Thomas Shepard, a clergyman of "marked ability and piety."
		The oldest church in the area, it houses the "Harvard Chime," the name given to the chime of bells cast for the church in anticipation of its 1861 centennial.
