⭐ About
Memorial Hall was funded and named in 1870 by the families of Harvard students who died fighting for the Union in the American Civil War. It houses the largest collection of secular stained glass in North America, featuring Shakespeare, Dante, and Virgil in lieu of religious figures.
Functions and Usage
1. Annenberg Hall is the first-year dining hall. It is open for three meals a day, and week-night ‘brain break’ snacks. All students enroll in an all-inclusive meal plan, and Harvard University Dining Services accommodate all dietary needs.
2. Sanders Theatre holds 1,000 seats and functions as a major lecture hall and site of University ceremonies. Many of the most venerable academic, political, and literary figures of the 19th and 20th centuries have spoken in Sanders Theatre, including Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
3. Loker Commons, renovated in 2007, is a student-serving space, providing grab-and-go meal options, the Cambridge Queen’s Head Pub, spaces for music practice, and several classrooms.
