|motto = ''Veritas''<ref>Appearing as it does on the coat of arms itself, ''Veritas'' is not a motto in the usual [[heraldry|heraldic]] sense. Properly speaking, rather, the motto is ''Christo et Ecclesiae'' ("for Christ and the church") which appears in impressions of the university's [[seal (device)|seal]]; but this legend is otherwise not used today, while 'veritas' has widespread currency as a ''de facto'' university motto. [http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~gsascf/shield.html] </ref> |established = September 8, 1636 (OS)<br /> {{nowrap|September 18, 1636 (NS)}}<ref name=founding>An appropriation of £400 toward a "school or college" was voted on October 28, 1636 (OS), at a meeting which initially convened on September 8 and was adjourned to October 28. Some sources consider October 28, 1636 (OS) (November 7, 1636 NS) to be the date of founding. In 1936, Harvard's multi-day tercentenary celebration considered September 18 to be the 300-year anniversary of the founding. (The bicentennial was celebrated on September 8, 1836, apparently ignoring the calendar change; and the tercentenary celebration began by opening a package sealed by [[Josiah Quincy]] at the bicentennial).
