Harvard University is the oldest university in the USA. The university started in 1636 and
it got its name two year later when John Harvard died and gave a library to the university.
Since then, the university has grown and Harvard has become one of the most famous
University in the world. Education at Harvard has changed a lot over its history. Charles Eliot,
president of Harvard from 1869-1909, made the biggest changes. Nowadays, thousands of
students want to study at Harvard but only about 10% of them pass the entrance exams.
Harvard is not all about education. Sport and culture are also very important. Twenty-first-
century students work hard and play hard.
