ILLUSTRATED. Copyi-iglit 1895. F. A. OLSSON, PUBLISHER, Harvard Sq., Cambridge, Slnss, preface. The publisher thinks it necessary to prefix a few words of apology and explanation. He has not attempted to give in this short guide book an exhaustive desciiption of everything to be seen ; for this would neither be possible (outside of a large volume) nor practical. But he has attempted to point out the things which he thinks the most interesting to the ordinary visitor, whose time is generally hmited, and he has for this reason avoided taking the visitor to such places as the Observatory and Botanic Gardens (See Appendix) which present nothing different from what may be seen in any first class observatory or botanical gardens. He does not consider the book perfect, by any means ; but hopes in future editions to make such changes and additions that he may finally achieve a comprehensive, yet practical guide book of Harvard, which will not only help the tourist while there, but be of sufficient merit to be preserved as a souvenir. ■flntrobuctori? Sketcb. Cambridge or New Towne as it was first called, was settled in 1 63 1. Its history is chiefly interesting in connection with Harvard, which was founded in 1636,- when the state legisla- ture granted the then large sum of ^^400 to found a school. The location of this school was not settled however, until 1637 when New Towne was taken as its site and the name New Towne soon after changed to Cambridge in recognition of the English University where many of the colonists had graduated. In 1638, John Harvard, a young minister, died at Charles- town, and left to the college his entire library of about 300 volumes and about ^4000. In his honor the college was named Harvard. The first master of the school was one Nathaniel Eaton, who soon showed himself so unfitted for the charge that he was re- moved and charge given, in 1640, to the Rev. Henry Dunster who was Harvard's first President. In 1642, the general management of the college was put in the hands of a Board of Overseers and in 1650, the Legisla- ture granted the college a charter, creating a corporate body, who had direct supervision of the college affairs. They were known as the President and Fellows of Harvard College, and 4 SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK, consisted of a President, five Fellows, and a Treasurer. Since then the Legislature has passed many acts concerning the government of the college ; but to-day its government is prac- tically the same as in 1650, and consists of the Corporation called "The President and Fellows of Harvard College " and the Board of" 32 Overseers. The President and Fellows fill the vacancies in the corporation ; but the Overseers are elected by the Alumni of the University. The University has shown a steady growth since its foundation, and at present (1895) there are 337 officers of instruction and 3290 students in all departments of the University. How to Reach Harvard. Take any Cambridge car marked Harvard Square. Such cars may be taken from Park, Bowdoin and Scollay Squares, or from the Union Station and on Tremont and Boylston Sts. Arrived at the Square we leave the car and walking back to- wards Boston about a hundred feet, we come to an old wooden house on the edge of the college grounds. This is the Wadsworth House, built in 1726 with money furnished by the state. (See picture.) It was built for " the Reverend the President of Harvard College," and was named after President Wadsworth, its first occupant. Here the college presidents lived until 1849, and here too Washington stopped for a few days before he made his headquarters at the Craigie House, better known as Longfellow's house. Returning towards the Square, and keeping on the college side we come to s c HARVARD COLLEGE AND VICINITY. J Dane Hall, a plain brick building erected in 1832 for a Law School, the gift of Hon. Nathan Dane and used for such until 1883. At present it is used as a recitation hall and for the store of the Harvard Co-operative Society. Continuing in the same direction we pass next, Matthews Hall, a large brick dormitory somewhat in from the street, and of which we get a rear view. It was built in 1872 at a cost of about ^120,000, the gift of Nathan Matthews of Boston. Crossing the street diagonally, we come to the First Parish Church, a wooden church almost in the Square. This church was built about 1833 by the College in exchange for its old site and adjoining land, which is now a part of the college yard. The former site of the church was about where Dane Hall now is. From 1834 to r872 the College held its commencement exercises in this church, and it is said that Ralph Waldo Emer- son delivered his first poem within its walls. Beside the church is The " Old Towne Burying Ground" in which are buried seven of Harvard's Presidents, Dunster, Chauncey, Leverett, Wadsworth, Holyoke, Willard and Web- ber; Thomas Shepard, the first minister, Stephen Day and Simuel Green, the first printers, and Andrew Belcher, who first had the right to keep an inn in Cambridge. West of the burying ground is 6 SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK, Christ Church, built about 1760. In 1775 the Connecticut troops were quartered here, and made bullets for themselves by melting the organ pipes. Washington is said to have attended service here while at Cambridge, Its chime of bells was the gift of Harvard graduates in i860, when the church was 100 years old. Returning to the front of the First Church, we see directly opposite across the street The Harvard Gate. Although there are now two gates, this is still referred to as The Gate. (See fronticepiece.) And well it may be con- sidered as the principal one for it stands between the two oldest of Harvard buildings : Massachusetts Hall on the right (as we enter) and Harvard Hall on the left. The gate was built in 1890, the gift of Samuel Johnston of Chicago, and although it has had quite a little adverse criticism, it is in thorough harmony with its surroundings, the first, or which should be the first principle of architecture. Two very fine pictures of this gate have been pubhshed ; one an etching, the other a large photogravure. Both m.ay be seen at the Art Store of J. F. Olsson & Co., Harvard Square. As we enter the College Yard we pass on our right Massachusetts Hall, the oldest of Harvard's buildings. Built in 1720, it was used as a dormitory until 1870, when it was altered for use as a recitation hall, and its three stories and a half became two. HARVARD COLLEGE AND VICINITY. ^ On the west end of this building (that toward the street) was formerly the College clock, whose location is now shown by a round wooden piece on the wall. Opposite Massachusetts Hall and on the north side, or left hand as we enter, is Harvard Hall. The present building was built in 1765 and replaced the old hall which was destroyed by fire in 1764. An immense amount of lead was used on its roof, and this was turned to very good account shortly after when it was converted into bullets which helped gain the independence of the United States. In Harvard Hall was located in early days, the " buttery," the library and lecture rooms, and Commencement dinner was held here. The bell on the roof still tolls the rising hour, time of chapel service, and the end and beginning of recita- tions. Time and time again have mischievous students attempted to silence it by padding or even stealing its tongue, but the ringer whose wits were kept keen by anticipation of such tricks, has generally been up to the emergency, and the bell rung as usual. Passing on into the yard or quadrarigle^ and turning to our left, we pass (going north) a plain brick structure back of and adjoining Harvard Hall. This is Hollis Hall, a dormitory built in 1763 with money supplied by the state, and named for Thomas Hollis of London, one of Harvard's early benefactors. Here has roomed Charles Sumner, Wen- 8 SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK, dell Phillips, Ralph Waldo Emerson, W. H. Prescott, and Edward Everett. Passing HoUis and turning to the left brings us to a little one story brick building, Holden Chapel, the first chapel of Harvard. It was built in 1744, the gift of Mrs. Samuel Holden, who gave in 1741, ;?20oo for this pur- pose. Holden's family gave in all over ^140,000 to Harvard. At the left of the chapel is the Class Day Tree, easily distinguished by the odds and ends of strings which mark where the flowers and wreaths have been fastened for which the Seniors struggle on Class Day. Retracing our steps to the Yard, and turning to the left, we pass Stoughton Hall, a dormitory similar to HoUis. It was built in 1805, mostly with money raised in a lottery. It was named after the old Stoughton Hall which was built in 1700 by Lieutenant Gover- nor Stoughton and afterwards removed. Here has roomed Charles Sumner, Edward Everett, Edward Everett Hale, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Caleb Cashing. Proceeding on our way around the yard we pass next another plain brick buikling, Holworthy Hall, built in 181 2, and named after Sir Matthew Holworthy of Eng- HARVARD COLLEGE AND VICINITY. 9 land, who had left the College about ^5000, in 1678. The Hall was built with the proceeds of a lottery sanctioned by act of legislature. As we come to the end of Holworthy, looking to the left we see The New Gate, built in 1891, the gift of G. von L. Meyer of Boston, a Har- vard graduate. The next building in the quadrangle at right angles to Hol- worthy is Thayer Hall, a dormitory built in 1870, the gift of Nathaniel Thayer of Boston in memory of his father, Rev. Nathaniel Thayer, and his brother, John Eliot Thayer. This is an exceptionally un- pretentious building, but is roomy and convenient. The white stone building adjoining is University Hall, built in 1815, at a cost of |6s,ooo. In this building were formerly the chapel and common dining room, which were given up in 1867 and 1842 respectively. Commencement exercises were also at one time held here. At present the building is used for recitation rooms and the offices of the President and Secretary. South of University Hall is Weld Hall, one of the finest of the dormitories belonging to the College. 10 SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK, It was built in 1872, the gift of William F. Weld of Boston, in memory of his brother, Stephen Minot Weld. Next to Weld Hall at the south end of the Yard is Gray's Hall, built by the corporation in 1863 as an investment. It was named after the Gray family, three benefactors of the College. Passing between Gray's and Weld we come to Boylston Hall, a granite building erected in 1857, with money left by Ward Nicholas Boylston. It is used for chemical laboratories and lecture rooms. As tablets on its rear wall state, Thomas Hooker, Thomas Shepard and the Wigglesworths, formerly lived on the site which the hall occupies. A few steps east and facing it is Gore Hall, the College library, built in 1840 with money given by Hon. Christopher Gore. (See picture.) It is built of Quincy granite, fire-proof, of Gothic architecture, and patterned after King's College Chapel, Cambridge, England. Over the entrance is a gilt cross brought from Louisburg in 1 745 by Massachusetts soldiers. The library is open from 9 until 5, and its immense collection of books may be consulted by all persons, whether connected with the University or not. There are minor or departmental libraries, and altogether the Uni- versity has about 450,000 bound volumes and almost as many pamphlets and maps. These as distributed are e 5 HARVARD COLLEGE AND VICINITY.

Back of Gore Hall, and northeast of it is Sever Hall. a brick building erected in 1880, a gift of Mrs. A. E. P. Sever, for whom it is named. It contains recitation and lecture rooms, and is by far the finest building the college has for this purpose. To the west and in front of Sever is Appleton Chapel, a sandstone building built in 1858. Its total cost has been about $68,000, ;?5o,ooo of which was given by the executors 12 SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK, of Samuel Appleton, who left ;?2oo,ooo for charitable, scientific and literary purposes, and for whom it was named. On the north side of Appleton is the William Hayes Fogg Art Museum, but just completed (1895). It is the gift of Mrs. Elizabeth Fogg, who gave ;?2 20,000 for this purpose. It has been harshly criticized from an architectural standpoint, and indeed is not in very-good harmony with its surroundings. Leaving the Yard and crossing the street brings us to Memorial Hall, erected in 1874-76, by the graduates of the University. (See picture.) It is by far Harvard's most beautiful building, and contains the memorial transept, the dining hall, and Sanders Theatre, named in honor of Charles Sanders who gave over ^60,000 towards the building. The. total length is about 300 feet and the tower is about 200 feet high. At its west end is the Statue of John Harvard, given by Samuel J. Bridge, and erected in 1884. (See pic- ture.) It was designed by D, C. French, and is purely an ideal statue as there is no known likeness of John Harvard in existence. It has on its sides the Harvard seal, and that of Emanuel College, Cambridge, England, John Harvard's alma mater. Entering Memorial Hall by the southern entrance (that facing the Art Museum) we are immediately in the transept, HARVARD COLLEGE AND VICINITY. I3 in which are the marble tablets bearing the names of students and graduates who died in their country's service. On one large tablet is inscribed : THIS HALL Commemorates the Patriotism OF THE Graduates and Students of this Univer-ity Who Served in the Army and Navy of the United States During the War for the Preservation of the Union, AND Upon These Tablets are Inscribed the Names of Those Among Them Who Died in that Service. On the left of the transept as we enter is the dining hall, capable of seating over 700. During term time visitors may see the hall during meal time from the balcony. In the hall are many old portraits, a list of which is given in the Appen- dix. The entrance to Sanders Theatre is on the right. Tiiis seats 1300 people, and is used for the University exercises on Class Day and Commencement, and also for public lectures and concerts. Over the stage in latin is the following trans- lated inscription: — "Here in the wilderness did English exiles in the year after the birth of Christ, the sixteen hundred and thirty-sixth, and the sixth after the founlation of their Colony, believing that wisdom should first of all things be cultivated, by public enactment found a school, and dedicated it to Christ and the Church. Increased by the munificence of John Harvard, again and again assisted by the friends of good learning not only here but abroad, and finally entrusted 14 SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK, to the care of its own children, brought safely through from small beginnings to larger estate by the care and judgment and foresight of Presidents, Fellows, Overseers and Faculty, all liberal arts and public and private virtues it has cultivated, it cultivates still. " But they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament ; and they that turn many to righteousness, as the stars forever and ever." On the right facing the stage is a statue of President Quincy by Story. Leaving the hall by the north entrance (we entered at the south) and turning to the right we pass up Kirkland street to Divinity Avenue. Going along Divinity Ave. we pass first on the left The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethiiology, which was built in' 1877, the gift of George Peabody of Lon- don. The purpose of the Museum is the collection of relics of American archaeology and ethnology, although there are in the Museum some collections from China, Japan and the Pa- cific Islands. The American collections are of course the most complete and interesting, and contain specimens from North and South America. The Museum is open from 9 to 5, week days. Directly opposite Peabody on the other side of the avenue Divinity Hall, a plain brick building, built in 1826 by the Society for the HARVARD COLLEGE AND VICINITY. 15 Promotion of Theological Education. It contains the chapel and lecture rooms of the Theological department and 37 stu- dent rooms. Beside the hall is the Divinity School Library, a small and rather pretty building which contains book sticks and reading room. Across the street on the same side as Peabody is the Museum of Comparative Zoology, built in i860, and enlarged in 1871 and 1880 with money furnished by the state and by private subscription. It owes its being chiefly to the untiring efforts of Prof. Louis Agassiz, the great naturalist, who interested legislation in its behalf. It contains one of the most valuable and complete zoological col- lections in existence. The building also contains a great num- ber of lecture rooms, laboratories, and a iire-proof room containing the library. There is little to interest the visitor in the immense collec- tion of animal life which is similar to that in any Natural History rooms, but one collection in the west end of the building should be missed under no consideration, if one admires the beautiful at all. It is the collection of glass flowers, made by Leopold and Rudolph Blaschka, of Germany, who alone have the secret of doing this beautiful work. They are the gift of Mrs. E. C. Ware and Miss L. M. Ware as a memorial of the late Dr. C. E. Ware of the Class of 1834. The Museum is open week days from 9 until 5 ; and from May to November, Sundays i to 5. l6 SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK, Leaving the Museum by the western entrance we come out on to Oxford St. North of the Museum on this street are two new dormitories : Conant Hall on the right, the" gift of Edwin Conant, Class of 1829, who left about ?ioo,ooo, to Harvard in 1891 ; and Perkins Hall on the left, the gift of Mrs. Catherine Page Perkins, who gave ^150,000 to build a dormitory in memory of her husband's great-grandfather, Rev. Daniel Perkins, his grandfather, Rev. Richard Perkins, and his brother William Foster Perkins, who were graduates of Haivard. Both were finished in 1894. Going down Jarvis St. (the street running into Oxford in front of the Museum) we pass between Jarvis Field on the right, which was formerly the only athletic field of Harvard, but is now used for tennis only, and Holmes Field on our left, used for base ball and track athletics. Half way down the street we come to a prison-like brick building named The Carey Building, built for winter practice of the crew, who row in a large tank, the boat being stationary while the water moves. The building was erected in 1890, the gift of H. A. Carey. Crossing Holmes Field we come first to a large brick build- ing on our left. statue of John Harvard. HARVARD COLLEGE AND VICINITY. 1 7 Jefferson Physical Laboratory, built in 1884, chiefly the gift of Thomas Jefferson Coolidge. It contains recitation and lecture rooms, several laboratories, and several smaller rooms for special research. The building has arrangements by apartments on separate foundations, to carry on experiments requiring extremely sensitive instru- ments. In front of the Jefferson Laboratory is the Lawrence Scientific School, built in 1848, the gift of Abbot Lawrence of Boston. The building contains drafting and lecture rooms and the electri- cal work- shop. Beside the Scientific School building (to the west) is the" Hemenway Gymnasium, built in 1879, the gift of Augustus Hemenway of Boston, who has lately given money for its enlargement (1895). When finished it will probably be the finest gymnasium in America. It contains the main hall, fitted up with every modern and conceivable gymnastic apparatus, a running track, bowling alleys, baths of every description, and several thousand lockers. Leaving the gymnasium and going west a few steps brings us in sight of Austin Hall, a building of sandstone almost facing the rear of the Gymna- sium. (See picture.) This is the Law School building, built l8 SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK, in 1883, and given by Edwin Austin of Boston in memory of his brother Samuel Austin. It contains the large library, three large lecture rooms, a large comfortable reading room, and the Faculty offices. Between it and the Gymnasium once stood the birthplace of Oliver Wendell Holmes (see picture), which was removed because it obscured the view of a portion of Austin Hall. Going west to Massachusetts Avenue (the main street) and turning to the right, a few steps bring us to Walter Hastings Hall, a rather pretty dormitory, of fancy brick, built in 1890 at a cost of ^243,000, the bequest of Walter Hastings. This is the finest dormitory belonging to the University. Going directly across the common (opposite Hastings Hall) to a large stone church with a steeple brings us to the ■Washington Elm, an old elm tree in the street, surrounded by an iron fence. (See picture.) Here a stone slab informs us that " Under this Tree Washington First Took Command of the American Army, July 3rd, I775-" On the corner of Mason and Garden Sts., (the tree is at the junction of these two streets) near the tree is Radcliffe College, the successor of the Society for the Collegiate Instruction of Women, and perhaps even better known as the " Harvard Annex," as the name Radcliffe was adopted but recently (1894). HARVARD COLLEGE AXD VICINITY. 19 It was planned b)' Mr. Arthur Gilman. It opened in 1879, with 2 7 students, who, for the most part, found homes in vari- ous private families. The College occupies the old Fay House, which has been, however, greatly altered, improved and enlarged. (See picture.) It offers systematic collegiate instruction for women under the professors and instructors of Harvard University. More than 80 of Harvard's instructors are teachers in Radcliffe The courses are identical with those in the University, and the degrees are countersigned by the President of Harvard, as a guarantee that Radcliffe degrees are equivalent to the corres- ponding degrees given by Harvard. ' The Fay House contains recitation rooms, offices, library, quite a large hall, and the various laboratories. The students of Radcliffe have access to the various museums of the Uni- versity and to its immense library. They are also privileged to take quite a number of the graduate courses of instruction. In short, a student of Radcliffe is practically a student of Harvard University, and enjoys advantages second to none in this country. Going west down Mason street to Brattle, and turning to our right we come first to a group of stone buildings, to which tlie stone church on the comer belongs. They are the build- ings of the Episcopal Theological School, founded in 1867. The school is indirectly connected with Harvard ; that is the students of the school have certain privileges in the University. There are two dormitories, dining room, library, and chapel. 2a SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK, Proceeding down Brattle street past the School, the second house we pass on our right is Longfellow's House. known also as the Craigie House. (See picture.) It is a colonial building, setting back about a hundred feet from the street. It was built in 1759 by one John Vassal, from whom it was taken by the colonial government, as he was a staunch Tory. During the winter of 1775-76, Washington made the house his headquarters. In 1791 the house was purchased by Andrew Craigie, who was connected with the Continental Army. Longfellow first lived here in 1837 when he rented a room of Mrs. Craigie. A few years aftervvards he bought the house, and later the land between the house and the river, in' order to have always an unobstructed view of the Charles River, which he loved. This land is now known as Long- fellow's Park. Crossing this park to Mt. Auburn St., we now take an elec- tric towards Mt. Auburn (going west), but leave the car at Elmwood Avenue. On the west side of this street very near Mt. Auburn St., is a colonial looking house setting back some- what from the road. This was the Home of James Russell Lowell. "Elmwood," (see picture) as it is called, was built in 1760 by Lieutenant-Governor Thomas Oliver, and purchased in i8r8 by Rev. Charles Lowell. Here in 1819, James Russell Lowell was born, here he lived, except when abroad as minis- ter to Spain and England, and here he died in 1891. HARVARD COLLEGE AND VICINITY. 21 Returning to Mt. Auburn street, and continuing our way westwards, a few minutes' walk brings us to the entrance of Mt. Auburn Cemetery, founded in 183 1. It is truly a great city of the dead, a most beautiful cemetery, and contains the graves of many noted people. Here are buried James Russell Lowell, on Fountain Ave ; Longfellow, on Catalpa path, just above Lowell's grave ; Rufus Choate, on Walnut Avenue ; Charles Sumner, on Arethusa Path ; Margaret Fuller, on Pyrola path ; Louis Agassiz near by, whose grave is marked by a great rock which was brought from Switzerland ; Henry F. Durant, the benefactor of Wellesley, on Osier path ; Rev. W. E. Channing, on Greenbrier path ; Edward Everett, on Mag- nolia Ave. ; President Joseph Quincy, on Sweetbrier path ; President Jared Sparks, Garden Ave. ; and a number of others. From the tower a very fine view of Cambridge and surround- ings may be obtained. We now return to the gate, and leave our visitor, who may take here an electric for Boston or Newton. appenbii. We have omitted several departments of the University, two in Cambridge, and five elsewhere. In Cambridge, on Garden street, are The Observatory, a finely equipped instituiton for astronomical work of all kinds, which was first in the old wooden building on the corner of Quincy street and Massachusetts Ave. (college grounds), and the Botanic Gardens, founded in 1805, which contain a fine collection of plant, setc, especially native ones. In Boston there is The Medical School, established in 1863 (first in Cambridge, and later moved to Boston), on Boylston street, near Copley Square. The Dental School, estabhshed in 1868, and now occupying a building on North Grove street (West End.) 'W'c.sbiii^ton l^Iiu.

The Education of Girls. The editor of Harper's Magazine wrote twice last year about schools for girls. In the Editor's Table for November, 1894, he mentions especially the " multiplication of private schools of a high order," and says: "This movement is not accounted for by an undemocratic reluctance to submit well-bred children to the associations of the popular schools, but by the: failure of thqse schools to give the sort of intellectual and moral training desired — that is, the sort of training that raises the ideal of life. "What is wanted," the editor continues, "is an institution under individual management" — " not for mere experiments, but for development founded upon experience and sWted to the capacities and the positions of the great variety of scholars." This is a fair description of the organization and the aims of THB CAMBRIDGE SCHOOI/, established at Cambridge, Bifass., for the best cultivation of young ladies who wish to take iadvantage of those uncommon opportunities which can be found only in such a place as the intellectual capital of New England. It has been well said that "Eastern Massachusetts is probably the most highly organized community in the world," and that the same amount of intellectual and material energy of will and intelligence is nowhere else expended upon the development of the human individual. Young ladies come to Cambridge from distant portions of the land to share these privileges ; and they get much more than they are promised, for the atmosphere of the place counts for more, even, than the curriculum of the School. Manuals are sent to any address, on application to Mr. Arthur Gilmau, the Director of the Cambridge School, No. 79 Brattle St., Cambridge, Mass. Cornell University Library 3 1924 031 444 890 olin.anx
