Saturday, February 25, 2017 HARVARD COLLEGE OFFICE OF STUDENT LIFE UNIVERSITY HALL, GROUND FLOOR CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS 02138 Harvard College Class of 2018 Junior Family Weekend Friday, February 24 – Saturday, February 25, 2017 Items highlighted in yellow are signature events Please DO NOT use this as your final schedule - the most updated version will be available at the registration desk during Junior Family Weekend. WELCOME FAMILIES Thank you for joining us for Junior Family Weekend. Over the next two days, as you spend time on campus, you will have the opportunity to glimpse the transformative power of Harvard College that our students experience each and every day. The opportunity to visit classes and engage in discussions with faculty members will offer you a sense of where the intellectual transformation begins for our students. At the same time, sampling Harvard’s extracurricular life through sporting events, creative performances and other events, will give you a feel for how our students transform socially. Hopefully, your time on campus meeting other students and their families will open a window to the rich diversity of experiences and perspectives that contribute to personal transformation for our students. And finally, by attending receptions and lunch in the residential houses, we invite you to experience Harvard’s unique house life where the College community comes together in ways that support all three aspects of transformation of our students – social, personal and intellectual. We hope you have a chance to take advantage of all of these opportunities and we wish you a memorable weekend.

Keyes Metcalf and the Founding of The Harvard Library Bulletin Dennis Carrigan In Random Recollections of an Anachronism, the first volume of his autobiography, Keyes Metcalf has told how he came to head the Harvard Library. In 1913 he had joined the New York Public Library, and had expected to work there until retirement. One day early in 1936, however, he was summoned to the office of his superior, Harry Miller Lydenberg, and there introduced to James Bryant Conant, the President of Harvard, who was in New York to discuss with Mr. Lydenberg a candidate to be Librarian of Harvard College, a position that was expected to lead to that of Director of the University Library.

Harvard owes its very name to the library that was left in 1638 by John Harvard to the newly created College. For 370 years, the College and the University that grew around it have had libraries at their heart. While the University sprouted new buildings, departments, and schools, the library grew into a collection of collections, adding new services and locations until its tendrils stretched as far from Cambridge as Washington, DC and Florence, Italy.

These are "facts-in-themselves" waiting to be ham- mered into "reasoned facts," to borrow Aristotle's terminology. Here is the raw material to build and test historical hypotheses. Indeed, what the observatory is to the astronomer or the tevatron to the particle physicist, Widener is to the histo- rian. For those who believe that salvation is in the details, here are data, mere facts, waiting to be discovered and converted into historical facts. Central to my own research program is an attempt to understand how the idea of Copernicus' heliocentric theory was received and perceived in the century fol- lowing its publication in 1543. How many copies of his masterpiece, De revolu- tionibusorbium coelestium, were published, and what became of them? In the absence of any printer's records, we need to make an educated guess about the press run.

  • The Separate Undergraduate Library
    ELIZABETH MILLS The Separate Undergraduate Library A new phenomenon came into being in 1949 with the opening of the first separate library for undergraduates in a university. Many have now been built, and more are planned. This paper discusses some of the thinking that preceded their development. It analyzes three of them—Lamont, Michigan, and UCLA—in some detail, and speculates as to their future.

Professor Verba made this comment at a meeting of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Committee on the Library, which he chairs. Then at a subsequent meet- ing he mentioned that one of the committee's members had given a very success- ful talk about the importance of Widener. Those meetings of the Library Committee usually take place in Wadsworth House, and so after the meeting, as we strolled back to Widener, we two, one a professor of classics and one a librarian who edits the HarvardLibrary Bulletin, continued to discuss the desirability and dif- ficulty of communicating Widener's importance to the larger community. To do so for some libraries is much easier.
