Happy Sesquicentennial MIT!

Massachusetts Institute of Technology's 150th Birthday celebration. MIT is one of the premier universities in the world and emphasizes scientific and technological education and research. It was founded in 1861 and turned 150 years old in 2011. Celebrations included technological events, artistic displays, a gigantic 500,000 calorie three-diminsional birthday cake in the shape of the university and fireworks over the Charles River. In the background, the 32nd through 49th floors of the Prudential Tower in Boston, Massachusetts sent out a birthday greeting.
