Established in 1636 and named for its first benefactor, clergyman John Harvard, Harvard is the United States\' oldest institution of higher learning. Its history, influence, wealth, and academic reputation have made it one of the most prestigious universities in the world. It has often been cited as the world\'s top university by most publishers.\"One side of the mug has a raised medallion with an olive wreath and the Harvard University \"Veritas\" coat of arms, vector or shield image within a \"HARVARD\" laurel wreath banner. The other side of the mug is blank but for the mugs markings (see below).From the Harvard web-site- \"On Sept. 8, 1836, at Harvard’s Bicentennial celebration, it was announced that President Josiah Quincy had found the first rough sketch of the College arms – a shield with the Latin motto “VERITAS” (“Verity” or “Truth”) on three books – while researching his History of Harvard University in the College Archives. During the Bicentennial, a white banner atop a large tent in the Yard publicly displayed this design for the first time. Until Quincy’s discovery, the hand-drawn sketch (from records of an Overseers meeting on Jan. 6, 1644) had been filed away and forgotten. It became the basis of the seal officially adopted by the Corporation in 1843 and still informs the version used today.\"This measures approximately 5 3/4 inches tall, has a 3 1/8 inch diameter opening and has a 4 inch diameter base. The thick handle is about 4 1/2 inches and is attached to a lifting mechanism that opens the cover of the stein/mug.
