A rich campus
tradition with some
Jewish flavors

RUTH ROVN ER

Special to The Jewish News

t the outdoor cafe just steps
away from Harvard Square,
two chess players are
engrossed in a game, while
others stand and watch. Nearby, at
the kiosk, students are browsing
among the foreign newspapers or
hurrying by, lugging bulging book
bags, as they enter the gate that leads
to Harvard Yard.
Further up on Harvard Square, a
student with a guitar is giving an
impromptu concert, and a small
crowd has gathered to listen.
It's all part of the collegiate
ambiance of Cambridge. Situated just
across the Charles River from Boston,
this New England town is dominated
by the presence of its most famous
university (Massachusetts Institute of
Technology is also in Cambridge, but
it has a lower profile). The shop win-
dows display Harvard sweatshirts,
pennants and other Harvard sou-
venirs. The subway stop is
"Harvard." Even the newspaper kiosk
in Harvard Square is a national his-
toric landmark because of its Harvard
identity.

Harvard Yard.

We began our exploration of
Cambridge with a walking tour. Led
by a trained guide who was also a
Harvard student, our tour covered
many campus landmarks and also
gave us historical details.
We saw Massachusetts Hall, for
example, where 500 Continental
Army soldiers were once housed. As
the oldest still-standing campus
building, it was built in 1720. But
students were attending Harvard even
earlier than that.
The nation's oldest university
was established in 1636 by a vote of
the court of Massachusetts Bay
Colony. Later it was named for John
Harvard, a young minister who,
when he died in 1638, left his library
and half his estate to the new institu-
tion. Since then it has educated many
illustrious students, including six
U.S. presidents, starting with John
Adams.
Our tour covered sites, from the
freshman dormitories where Ralph
Waldo Emerson and Henry David
Thoreau once lived to the imposing
Widener Library, the largest universi-
ty-library system in the world and the
nation's third largest library .
Next we boarded an old-fashioned
trolley for a narrated spin around
town. We passed historic sites like
Cambridge Commons, the square
where each year cannons celebrate the
day in 1776 when the British left
town and General George
