Education, Bricks and Mortar

Harvard Buildings and their Contribution
to the Advancement of Learning

Front Cover:

This is an absolutely wonderful old book about Harvard. The book was published in 1949 at The University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. The book measures 7 5/8 inches by 10 ¾ inches and contains 100 pages. The red cloth cover has silver detailing on the front. The cover shows signs of light fading. The cover shows minor signs of wear to the edges, corners and to the top and bottom of the spine (bottom is a bit frayed). The spine is tight and the hinges are strong. The pages are printed on good quality paper and show no signs of rips. The front end pages contain a “birds eye view” photograph. The back end pages have a pictorial map. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of this wonderful, 54 year old book is very good.

An obscure preacher of Charlestown, Massachusetts, would be unknown today, had he not perpetuated the name John Harvard by the gift of his library and half his inheritance “towards the erecting of a Colledge.”

At Harvard there are many other great names that will be forever identified with this institution because of their generous gifts of buildings…
