Harvard
Harvard was founded in 1848 by John Harvard. It was the first school of high education in the United States and remains as the best university. It started out with a class of nine students with one master degree to more than 20000 students that can choose from 12 degree-granting schools. Harvard has 360 thousand living alumni across more than 190 countries.
The school's color is crimson This is because in 1853, the rowing team in Harvard gave crimson scarves to the rowers so that the students could identify their school. After one of these rowers (Eliot) became president in 1869, the color was made the school's official color.
The school shield is a crimson shield with the Latin VERITAS in three books. Veritas means truth. It was sketched in an Overseers meeting in 1644 and found in the College Archives by Josiah Quincy for the College's bicentennial. It still remains today.
Sports
Harvard Crimson is the official name of the sports program. They play in NCAA I and have lots of different and talented players in their fields. In the London 2012 Olympics, Harvard students won 2 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze medal. That is quite impressive and just shows the great capacity of the Harvard Crimson athletic program.
