神職人員約翰‧哈佛逝世，1638年9月14日

1636年麻省綜合法庭成立，哈佛是美國最古老的高等教育學術機構。即使當時只有一個班，但現在成長極受尊敬的學府，擁有超過18000位學生和2000名以上的專業人才，並培養出多名諾貝爾獎得主。哈佛的主要學區也是這個城市的主要觀光景點。一億一千萬元的捐贈 (研究機構的收入大半來自捐贈) ，這所大學可說是這城市最富有資產。哈佛憑著最原始的課程：歐洲大學的教育，以及美洲殖民地清教徒的規範。


Founded by the General Court of Massachusetts in 1636, Harvard is America's oldest institution of higher learning. Since its days as a single classroom, it has grown into a highly regarded university with more than 18,000 students and 2,000 faculty members, including numerous Nobel Prize winners. Harvard's main campus is also one of the country's most scenic. With an endowment (the part of an institution's income derived from donations) of $11 billion, the university is the country's wealthiest. Harvard based its original curriculum on the classics taught in European universities and on the Puritanism preached in the American colonies.
