In the office of the President of Harvard College, in University Hall, Cambridge, there hangs, framed in a narrow band of oak, a card, perhaps thirty inches long and twelve wide. On this are printed these inscriptions, which in a few words tell the origin, the history, and the purpose of Harvard:— Harvard University is a chartered and endowed institution fostered by the state.
