42°22' 25" N, 71°7' 08" W

Looking east toward Massachusetts Hall, the President's office, is just above the church steeple. In front of the light colored building (University Hall) in the center of the campus is the statue of John Harvard, of Charlestown, who left the college funds in his will (and his personal library, as well).

Using Google Earth, one can make use of their 3D models of buildings on the Harvard Campus. Currently, however, only Massachusetts Hall, Sever Hall, and Memorial Hall are done (in cyberspace). Massachusetts Hall needs a little more work, and, in fact, is mis-spelled (can't blame an out-of-stater for that). But it's a good start, and in a few years one will be able to soar through the campus in full electronic glory, even in a nor'easter.

You can download Microsoft's Virtual Earth and have an even better 3D experience - all major buildings in the area are "built" in cyberspace. Fly over Shay's tavern and wine bar on JFK street.
