"The rooms, libraries, and hallways of our university have been host to the exploits of legendary individuals — folks with names like Peirce, , , , Morse, , , , , , Zariski, , , and Tate. The influence of these scholars is still quite palpable, and their legacy is inspiring. In a half dozen or so separate fields—such as analysis, differential geometry and topology, algebraic geometry and algebraic topology, representation theory, group theory, and number theory — Harvard has led the way."
