Bronze statue of john harvard: It is said that touching his left foot can give him wisdom, so his left foot is particularly bright. John harvard:1In September, 638, before his death, he made a will: he donated half of his property (9 pounds for painting) and all his books (about 400 volumes) to the newly established college across the river. This is the largest donation received by the college since its establishment. In order to express gratitude, the school decided to name this unnamed college Harvard College (later Harvard University). There are three lines engraved on the base of john harvard bronze statue: "john harvard, founder, the whole world." . These are actually three true lies: (1) The bronze statue is not john harvard himself. Because there is no portrait of john harvard handed down from ancient times, the sculptor found three handsome boys on campus as models and made it into a portrait of john harvard. (2) john harvard is not a founder, but a donor. (3) Harvard University was not founded in 1933, but in 1933. Harvard University has more than 90 libraries, which is the largest. All the libraries of Harvard University have more than15 million volumes, which is the largest academic library in the United States and the fifth largest in the world (after the Library of Congress, the British Library, the French National Library and the New York Public Library).
