EDITORS COMMENTS
The Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Library at Harvard University is a stunning architectural masterpiece designed by Horace Trumbauer & Associates, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. Completed in 1915, this neoclassical building was constructed as a memorial to Harry Elkins Widener, a prominent Philadelphia publisher and avid book collector who perished on the RMS Titanic in 1912. The exterior of the library is adorned with Corinthian columns, a portico, and a grand porch, creating an impressive entrance that invites visitors to explore the wealth of knowledge housed within. The library's motto, "Veritas," which means "truth" in Latin, is proudly displayed on a banner above the entrance, reflecting the institution's commitment to higher education and the pursuit of knowledge. The library's design is reminiscent of ancient Greek and Roman architecture, with its grand columns and intricate detailing. The North façade features a large, ornate pediment, topped with the Harvard University seal and the Massachusetts state seal. Flanking the entrance are two large, red and white pennons, adding a touch of contemporary flair to the otherwise classical design. The Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Library is not only a beautiful architectural landmark, but also a testament to the enduring power of education and the importance of preserving knowledge for future generations. Its intricate design and rich history make it a must-see destination for visitors to Harvard University and the greater Boston area.
