The night before the release of Halo 3, MIT hackers transformed the statue of John Harvard in Harvard Yard into the Master Chief. John was wearing the signature helmet from the game and was holding one of the guns from the game until around 8am. In the game, the character’s “real” name is also John.
The Harvard statue that got hacked is known as the statue of three lies. The inscription reads, “John Harvard, Founder, 1638,” but it’s not a statue of John Harvard, John Harvard didn’t found Harvard University, and Harvard wasn’t founded in 1638.
