the president of Harvard University
Lawrence H. Summers
(b. Nov. 30, 1954)
Term of office: 2001-present
Education: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (B.S.
1975), Harvard University (Ph.D. 1982).
Professional background: Economics professor, served in a series of
public-policy positions.
Immediate past position: Secretary of the Treasury of the United

The John Harvard Statue, located in front of University Hall (designed
by Charles Bulfinch and completed in 1815),
was cast in 1884 by Daniel Chester French
(sculptor of the Lincoln Memorial) and is
known as "The Statue of Three Lies."
Although the inscription reads "John
Harvard, Founder, 1638," none of these
three statements is true. The seated figure
is not really John Harvard, since no authentic
pictures of Mr. Harvard existed; John Harvard
was not the founder of Harvard College; and
the College was founded in 1636. The statue
is an immensely popular draw for tourists,
and thousands of visitors a year rub John
Harvard's shoe for luck.

– are chronicled
in this section.
Besides those laureates on the faculty, Prize
winners also
frequently come
to Harvard to
serve as visiting

Many Harvard

(Literature,
1948), and Henry
Kissinger (Peace,

Alfred Nobel,
the Nobel Prizes
have been awarded

was established
in 1968 by
the Swedish national
bank, Sveriges
Riksbank,
