Harvard University is a well-regarded university.
History[]
In June 1912, Henry Walton Jones, Senior attended a meeting of historians at Harvard while his son Indiana Jones hoped to explore Boston alone.[1] Indy later applied to go there but was rejected; he ultimately attended the University of Chicago instead.[2]
Ark of the Covenant scholar Abner Ravenwood earned degrees at Harvard.[3]
Francisca Uribe Del Arco attended Harvard some time before 1937[4] as did Mongolian Antiquities Commission official Khorloin prior to 1938.[5]
Students[]
- Khorloin
- Abner Ravenwood
- Francisca Uribe del Arco
Behind the scenes[]
In one path of the Find Your Fate Indiana Jones and the Gold of Genghis Khan story, Indiana Jones implies that he did attend Harvard University and, according to Khorloin, was a troublemaker there.[5] This would be contradicted by The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones, which stated that Indy wasn't accepted by the institution.[2]
In an interview for the tenth issue of The Lucasfilm Fan Club Magazine, Julian Glover described his character of Walter Donovan as "a Harvard or Yale man".[6] Whether this means Donovan canonically studied there has yet to be confirmed by Lucasfilm Ltd.
