View of University Hall & Harvard Yard, 2005

Across the Old Yard from Massachusetts Hall stands University Hall, and the now-famous "statue of three lies" of John Harvard. The statue earned its nickname from its inscription, "John Harvard, Founder, 1638". In truth, the statue is not modeled after John Harvard, Mr. Harvard did not found the university, and the founding was in 1636. University Hall was the site of the now-famous sit-in and teach-in protests during the late 1960s.
