Harvard University is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. It is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on the east coast of China.

Harvard University was founded in 1636 and was named after her first donor, john harvard of Charlestown, Massachusetts. When john harvard died in 1638, the young priest donated all his property and a library to the new university. 1639, in response to Mr. john harvard's last wish, the Grand Court decided to "formally establish a college in Cambridge and name it Harvard College". In the 16 years after the English Puritans came to Plymouth, Harvard University has developed from nine students with only 1 master's degree to a university with an annual enrollment of18,000 students, including undergraduate colleges and more than a dozen professional graduate schools. In addition, as many as 13000 students were admitted to the School of Continuing Education of Harvard University. As many as 14000 people work in Harvard-including 2000 teachers, and as many as 7000 faculty members work in affiliated hospitals. Seven American presidents in history: John Adam, John Quincy Adam, Theodore and Franklin, Roosevelt, Hayes, John F. Kennedy and George Bush are all graduates of Harvard. Harvard has also trained 30 Nobel Prize winners!
