THE 1935 HARVARD UNIVERSITY & CAMBRIDGE COLLEGE PICTORIAL MAP
 
This pictorial map of the Harvard and Radcliffe campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts was dedicated to its graduates, to celebrate the university’s tercentenary in 1936 -- the 300th anniversary of its founding in 1636.
 
The map shows features such as Brattle Square, the University Museum, Memorial Church, Business School, Law School, and the Stadium. Rowing crew teams are shown in the Charles River.
 
The Coats of Arms represents the seven houses of Lowell, Dunster, Winthrop, Eliot, Kirkland, Adams and Leverett. The compass rose is done in the style of the Coney Seal of 1693.
 
The cartouche (carved tablet or drawing representing a scroll) features the coat of arms of the school, Harvard Presidents Lowell and Conant appear on either side of the map's title.
 
Historic views of Harvard College in 1726, and a statue of John Harvard, are shown in the upper left.
The following dedication information, with quaint spelling and using the old-fashioned convention of printing "v" for "u," fills the border:
 
After God had carried vs safe to New England, and wee had bvilded ovr hovses, provided necessaries for ovr lively-hood, rear’d convenient places for Gods worship, and settled the civill government. One of the next things we longed for, and looked after was to advance learning and perpetvate it to posterity; dreading to leave an illiterate ministery to the chvrches, when our present ministers shall lie in the dvst.
 
1636 -- Dedicated to the gradvates of Harvard Vniversity in commemoration of the tercentenary of its fovnding--1936
