1857 Gate, Triple-arched entrance gate at Harvard University in Cambridge, United States.
The Class of 1857 Gate features three passageways with stone archways and a Latin inscription from Horace's Odes on its surface.
The Class of 1857, which included soldiers from both sides of the Civil War, funded this gate that was constructed in 1901.
The Latin text on the gate expresses the strong bonds between Harvard graduates, emphasizing unity despite past conflicts and differences.
Located in Harvard Yard near Wadsworth House, this entrance serves as a primary access point for students and visitors touring the campus.
In 1924, workers moved the gate forty feet from its original position to align it with the 1876 Gate for improved circulation.
