‘What chisel could cut breath?’
'John Harvard', President Faust
In the Murr Center following the Oct. 20 Harvard-Princeton football game, a miracle reminiscent of Shakespeare’s ‘The Winter’s Tale’ was sponsored by the Harvard Alumni Association. On John Harvard’s 400th birthday, his statue came to life and even enjoyed some birthday cake offered by President Drew Faust.
