John's Soup Strainer Surprises Clean Shaven University Employe

John Harvard has a moustache.

The news that the statue in the Yard was not clean shaven was passed on yesterday to a shocked University Hall by an operative of the News Office who made the discovery while cleaning off a picture of the alleged likeness of the founder.

Scarcely perceptible, the moustache is a spindly quarter inch by four inch ridge of bronze on either side of John's magnificent nose. Old timers in the Yard claimed John's moustache once was common knowledge.

The statue is itself a fraud. Daniel Chester French who sculptured it in 1885 had not the slightest idea what John Harvard looked like and used a good looking undergraduate of the time as his model.
