The number one university in the world.

I believe that students who want to study abroad have heard of Harvard University. Today, let's look at more information about Harvard University.

First, the establishment of Harvard University.

/kloc-at the end of 0/5, Columbus opened the Atlantic waterway from Europe to America, and Europeans crossed the ocean to America. /kloc-At the beginning of the 7th century, the first British immigrants arrived in North America, where they opened up their own "Garden of Eden"-New England. Among the immigrants, there are more than 65,438+000 Puritans who received classical higher education at Oxford and Cambridge universities. In order to enable their descendants to receive such education in their new homes, they established Harvard College, the first institution in American history, on the Charles River in Massachusetts in 65,438+0636.

Second, the campus environment

1. The headquarters of Harvard University is located in the Harvard compound in Cambridge, about 5.5 kilometers northwest of Boston's business district. There are bus, railway and other transportation services near the campus for students and teachers to shuttle through the campus.

Harvard Business School and most sports facilities are located in the west of Boston, covering an area of 65,438+045 hectares. Harvard's medical school, dental school and school of public health are all located in Changmu Medical Zone, covering an area of about 8.9 hectares. There is a bus to the headquarters near the medical area, and it also includes Houwan and MIT.

3. The rest is in the northwest of the courtyard, which used to be the dormitory of Radcliffe College, until they merged and used the same accommodation policy.

Third, the school motto

The earliest motto of Harvard University is "Veritas Christoet Ecclesiae", which means "for the truth of Christ and the church" in English, meaning "to pursue the truth in the sense of Christianity and the church". Later, with the secularization of Harvard and its separation from religion, this sentence was naturally simplified to one word-truth. This word is often translated into "truth", which means not only "truth" but also "truth" and "truth". At Harvard, the pursuit of "truth", "truth" and "truth" in the fields of knowledge, world, society and mankind is an eternal goal.

Fourth, well-known alumni

1, Harvard University has trained eight American presidents and hundreds of Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize winners.

2. In addition, a large number of famous academic founders, world-class academic leaders, writers and thinkers have been trained, such as ralph emerson and henry thoreau. Famous diplomats, former US Secretary of State Kissinger and former Mongolian President Sakhiagiin Elbegdorj are also from Harvard.

3. In modern times, many scientists, writers and scholars in China have studied at Harvard University, such as Hu, Zhu Kezhen, Liang Shiqiu and Liang Sicheng.

Mark zuckerberg and Bill Gates are prestigious dropouts in this school.
