Интересные факты.Колокола звонницы Гарвардского университета ранее находились в Свято-Даниловом монастыре и были проданы советским правительством по цене бронзы в 1930-х годах. В 2007 году были возвращены в монастырь, взамен на точные копии, отлитые в Воронеже.
В парке Harvard Yard находится статуя сидящего Джона Гарварда, выполненная скульптором Даниэлом Френчем. Табличка под статуей гласит: «Джон Гарвард, основатель,1638». Студенты университета называют эту скульптуру «Статуей тройной лжи». В действительности, сидящий мужчина- не Джон Гарвард, а студент университета Герман Шор, который был выбран случайным образом и стал моделью для скульптора; Джон Гарвард не был основателем университета, а только вкладчиком, пожертвовав ему свою библиотеку и половину состояния; университет был основан на два года раньше указанной даты -в 1636 году.Среди студентов существует поверье что если потереть носок туфли статуи сидящего Джона, то можно с лёгкостью сдать экзамены. Именно поэтому носок туфли отполирован до блеска.
