From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The John Harvard statue in Harvard Yard is a common target of pranks.

This statue is also known as "Statue of Three Lies"

Lie # 1 : This is not John Harvard's face; no picture or statue of John Harvard survived. Lie # 2 : John Harvard was not founder of Harvard University; it was founded two years prior to being renamed Harvard in 1638. Lie # 3 : The inscription says that Harvard was founded in 1638; in fact, it was founded two years earlier.
