>> SPEAKER 1: So welcome to the inside of Memorial Hall Complex.
Now there's some really cool things about this building
that you can see right here.
First thing you notice is all of that stained glass.
This building actually contains the second largest amount
of secular stained glass in North America.
Now why?
This place was actually founded in 1870 as a war memorial,
commemorating the lives lost of Harvard undergraduates who fought for the Union
during the Civil War.
>> Now this building is filled with history,
but it's also filled with a lot of cool other things.
Some of you may recognize this building.
It's actually the place where CS 50 lectures take place.
So this is actually just outside of Sanders Theatre
where David Malan actually gives his lectures.
>> This space is really cool because it's actually three functions- first there's
Sanders Theatre, but also below us there's
a bunch of classrooms and rehearsal rooms, and just over that wall,
is the freshman dining hall, which looks like cardboard.
If you don't believe me, Google it.
>> But in any case, back to Sanders.
So by day, we all know it as where CS 50 takes place.
By night, this place is also an incredible auditorium
for a large amount of concerts, run not only by students,
but famous performers-- for instance, Wynton Marsalis.
Last year, we actually had Matt Damon as the recipient
of the Arts first medal of honor.
And then this year, we actually have Margaret Atwood.
So there's a lot of awesome things about having the space that's not only
driven for academics, but also for your extracurricular activities.
