  • not wife/widow, but mother

  • Wow, I didn't know Ben Stein taught classes.

  • 1) 15 million books total

    2) 3 million in Widener

    3) Harry Elkins Widener, not George

    4) Bridge has been gone for years

    5) Ice-cream at every meal

    6) Swim test was a rumor, not actually a stipulation; the swim test was started around 1920

    7) swim-test was canceled in the 60s

    8) there are only two pools

  • wow. I am going on a school rtip to Boston tomorrow and I really hope to see that library when my group stops at Harvard. I love the Titanic and would love to see that library. But I always thought it was named after the Widener's son, Harry who also died on the Titanic along with his father, but I may be wrong.

    Anyway, awesome video!'

  • Harvard is awesome!!!
