Harvard Voices

“Harvard Voices” is a collection of excerpts from famous speeches given at Harvard University over the past 100 years. These voices represent Harvard’s collective memory and continuing dialogue of ideas. The dialogue suggests the best of Harvard speaking to itself and to the world, and the best of the world speaking to Harvard.

If there is a unifying theme, it is the sheer diversity of these articulate and eloquent voices. They speak to one another through questions, creative tensions, collaborations, and contradictions. And they even provide humor.
