Founded in 1948, the Crimson Key Society (CKS) is one of Harvard's most well respected and important student groups on campus. Originally formed to provide the Harvard Athletic Association with an organization responsible for meeting and hosting incoming Harvard athletes, today, CKS largely directs their efforts towards leading daily historical tours of Harvard Yard, in addition to welcoming all students at the beginning of each year during Freshman Orientation Week. Crimson Key's overall mission is to make Harvard more accessible to those who are unfamiliar with it, including visitors, freshmen, and parents. In this guidebook, CKS has aimed to provide an accurate and compelling picture of present-day Harvard through the eyes of its own students.
"[Inside Harvard's] pages provide unique insight about what students value at Harvard and reflect how honored we all are to be part of this historical institution." --Drew Gilpin Faust, President of Harvard University "This guidebook is unique among volumes about Harvard because it was written by our students. The authors introduce visitors, prospective students and their families, and current students and faculty to the terminology and stories that are unique to our institution, and they offer a glimpse into how some of our students see and experience Harvard. As a member of the Harvard community, I appreciate that Inside Harvard portrays Harvard not as a monolith or a place frozen in time, but as an active, ever-changing, and vibrant campus." --Rakesh Khurana, Danoff Dean of Harvard College
