Most of Harvard University’s campuses are located in Cambridge and Boston, Massachusetts, on the eastern coast of the United States of America. Eight presidents of the United States-John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Theodore and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Rutherford B. Hayes, John Fitzgerald Kennedy , George W. Bush and Barack Hussein Obama-were graduates of Harvard. Harvard University has produced more than 40 Nobel laureates. Drew Faust is currently the female president of Harvard University, who inaugurated on October 12, 2007.2 BostonBoston, the capital city of Massachusetts, is located in the eastern part of the state on Boston Harbor. Boston is the largest and most influential city in the six-state New England region. It was one of the earliest major U.S. cities to be settled by Europeans（162 ）and the largest city in the British American colonies. The American Revolution（177 -178 ）began in the Boston area. At the end of the 20th century, Boston was the focus of economic activity, communications, and transportation in New England and was one of the major centers of higher education in the United States. The city is scenically located along the waters of the Charles River and Boston Harbor. It has a compact city center, which is dotted with sites of historic interest dating to colonial times.3 MassachusettsOne of the six New England states, and one of the first 1 states in the Union（it entered in 1788）,Massachusetts is known as the“Old Colony State”.
