Harvard

Today we visited Harvard University. In third grade I use to wear a Harvard sweatshirt everyday, I really wanted to go to Harvard. Today we took the college tour. One of the things they talked about was their houses. They have four or five houses which are similar to Hogwarts in the sense that they compete with everything and are very protective of their "kind." One thing that I thought was interesting was that the John Harvard statue is incorrect. It says that the school was founded in 1969 by John Harvard. There are three things wrong with that statement. First, The school was not founded in 1969 it was actually founded in 1966 by the mission of Boston or something like that I can't remember. The second thing wrong with the statement was that the school was founded by John Harvard. As I said before it was founded by the mission of Boston but John Harvard donated a lot of money to the school in 1969 which caused the school to change their name to Harvard. The third thing wrong with the statue is that the statue of John Harvard isn't actually of John Harvard but of a person that looks like Harvard.
