00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,800

2
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:01,450
>> JOHN: Hi there.

3
00:00:01,450 --> 00:00:03,980
My name's John, and I'll
be your tour guide today.

4
00:00:03,980 --> 00:00:06,920
Originally hailing from New York
City, I'm actually now a sophomore

5
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:11,070
living Cabot House-- best house--
concentrating in neurobiology

6
00:00:11,070 --> 00:00:13,540
on the mind-brain behavior
track, with a secondary

7
00:00:13,540 --> 00:00:17,660
in visual environmental studies
on the film production track.

8
00:00:17,660 --> 00:00:20,564
Welcome to Harvard.

9
00:00:20,564 --> 00:00:21,230
Hi there.

10
00:00:21,230 --> 00:00:23,160
>> Welcome to the Science Center Plaza.

11
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,910
It's said that over 10,000 people
will come through these doors

12
00:00:26,910 --> 00:00:30,512
every single day because there's a
large number of things you can do in it.

13
00:00:30,512 --> 00:00:32,970
So, one of the things I love
about the Science Center Plaza

14
00:00:32,970 --> 00:00:36,540
is that during the summer it
becomes even more of a hub.

15
00:00:36,540 --> 00:00:38,840
Because we have all of
these food trucks that

16
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,280
line up from all different
places in Boston.

17
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,740
>> And in addition, we have crafts
fairs, we have a weekly petting zoo,

18
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:46,695
we have chess boards and beanbag chairs.

19
00:00:46,695 --> 00:00:50,230
So everyone loves to come out,
whether to do homework, or just chat,

20
00:00:50,230 --> 00:00:51,780
or just grab a bite to eat.

21
00:00:51,780 --> 00:00:54,550
So, looking over here now, we
have Memorial Hall Complex,

22
00:00:54,550 --> 00:00:57,120
which is exactly where
CS50 lectures are held.

23
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,790
So, if you want to follow me to our next
stop, we'll talk more about it there.

24
00:01:00,790 --> 00:01:03,947
>> So, welcome to the inside
of Memorial Hall Complex.

25
00:01:03,947 --> 00:01:06,280
Now, there's some really cool
things about this building

26
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,640
that you can see right here.

27
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,070
First thing you notice is
all of that stained glass.

28
00:01:11,070 --> 00:01:13,660
This building actually contains
the second largest amount

29
00:01:13,660 --> 00:01:16,720
of secular stained
glass in North America.

30
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:17,700
Now, why?

31
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:21,320
>> This place was actually founded
in 1870 as a war memorial,

32
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:24,730
commemorating the lives lost of Harvard
undergraduates who fought for the Union

33
00:01:24,730 --> 00:01:26,300
during the Civil War.

34
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:29,390
Now, this building is
filled with history.

35
00:01:29,390 --> 00:01:32,340
But it's also filled with
a lot of cool other things.

36
00:01:32,340 --> 00:01:35,090
>> Some of you may recognize this building.

37
00:01:35,090 --> 00:01:38,490
It's actually the place where
CS50 lectures take place.

38
00:01:38,490 --> 00:01:42,010
So, this is actually just
outside of Sanders Theatre, where

39
00:01:42,010 --> 00:01:44,760
David Malan actually gives his lectures.

40
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,020
This space is really cool because
it's actually three functions.

41
00:01:48,020 --> 00:01:51,300
First, there's Sanders Theater,
but also, below us there's

42
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:53,460
a bunch of classrooms
and rehearsal rooms.

43
00:01:53,460 --> 00:01:57,250
>> And just over that wall is the freshman
dining hall, which looks like Hogwarts.

44
00:01:57,250 --> 00:01:59,300
If you don't believe me, Google it.

45
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:01,170
But in any case, back to Sanders.

46
00:02:01,170 --> 00:02:05,420
So, by day, we all know it
as where CS50 takes place.

47
00:02:05,420 --> 00:02:09,740
By night, this place is also
an incredible auditorium

48
00:02:09,740 --> 00:02:13,230
for a large amount of concerts,
run not only by students,

49
00:02:13,230 --> 00:02:14,410
but famous performers.

50
00:02:14,410 --> 00:02:16,460
>> For instance, Wynton Marsalis.

51
00:02:16,460 --> 00:02:20,220
Last year we actually had Matt Damon
as the recipient of the Arts First

52
00:02:20,220 --> 00:02:21,680
Medal of Honor.

53
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,160
And then this year we actually
have Margaret Attwood.

54
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,160
So, there's a lot of awesome things
about having a space that's not only

55
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,610
driven for academics, but also for
your extracurricular activities.

56
00:02:32,610 --> 00:02:33,110
