1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,760

2
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,929
>> SPEAKER 1: So welcome to the
inside of Memorial Hall Complex.

3
00:00:03,929 --> 00:00:06,220
Now there's some really cool
things about this building

4
00:00:06,220 --> 00:00:07,590
that you can see right here.

5
00:00:07,590 --> 00:00:11,010
First thing you notice is
all of that stained glass.

6
00:00:11,010 --> 00:00:13,600
This building actually contains
the second largest amount

7
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,660
of secular stained
glass in North America.

8
00:00:16,660 --> 00:00:17,640
Now why?

9
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,250
This place was actually founded
in 1870 as a war memorial,

10
00:00:21,250 --> 00:00:24,670
commemorating the lives lost of Harvard
undergraduates who fought for the Union

11
00:00:24,670 --> 00:00:26,250
during the Civil War.

12
00:00:26,250 --> 00:00:29,410
>> Now this building is
filled with history,

13
00:00:29,410 --> 00:00:32,330
but it's also filled with
a lot of cool other things.

14
00:00:32,330 --> 00:00:35,030
Some of you may recognize this building.

15
00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:38,430
It's actually the place where
CS 50 lectures take place.

16
00:00:38,430 --> 00:00:41,340
So this is actually just
outside of Sanders Theatre

17
00:00:41,340 --> 00:00:44,720
where David Malan actually
gives his lectures.

18
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,580
>> This space is really cool because it's
actually three functions- first there's

19
00:00:48,580 --> 00:00:51,240
Sanders Theatre, but
also below us there's

20
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,857
a bunch of classrooms and rehearsal
rooms, and just over that wall,

21
00:00:54,857 --> 00:00:57,190
is the freshman dining hall,
which looks like cardboard.

22
00:00:57,190 --> 00:00:59,270
If you don't believe me, Google it.

23
00:00:59,270 --> 00:01:01,110
>> But in any case, back to Sanders.

24
00:01:01,110 --> 00:01:05,360
So by day, we all know it
as where CS 50 takes place.

25
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,680
By night, this place is also
an incredible auditorium

26
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,170
for a large amount of concerts,
run not only by students,

27
00:01:13,170 --> 00:01:16,380
but famous performers-- for
instance, Wynton Marsalis.

28
00:01:16,380 --> 00:01:19,100
Last year, we actually had
Matt Damon as the recipient

29
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:21,620
of the Arts first medal of honor.

30
00:01:21,620 --> 00:01:24,090
And then this year, we
actually have Margaret Atwood.

31
00:01:24,090 --> 00:01:28,100
So there's a lot of awesome things
about having the space that's not only

32
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:32,556
driven for academics, but also for
your extracurricular activities.

33
00:01:32,556 --> 00:01:33,056
