Harvard and Its Surroundings (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harvard and Its Surroundings This little handbook is designed to take the place of an intelligent com panion to the visitor in his walk through Harvard and its historical vicinity, giving brief yet sufficiently definite descriptions of every place visited, with passing allusions to its leading historical and biographical associations, and devoting the larger proportion of Space to the specially noteworthy objects. Our visitor is assumed to have arrived at Harvard College, which can be reached in half an hour from Boston, either by carriage or by the Cambridge horse cars that start from Bowdoin Square.
