Sep 26 2007John Harvard Is Master Chief
Some MIT gamers, stoked about the release of Halo 3, decided to prank Harvard. They dressed up the John Harvard statue in Harvard Yard with an assault rifle and Spartan helmet. Making him infinitely cooler in everyone's eyes. I'm glad they didn't change his shoes though, because they're sweet. I need a pair of those. This is pretty much the opposite of what happened here, which I continue to be broken up about (still crying a lot), if you want to know the truth.
One more of what John Harvard looks like at a luau, but without gun and helmet, after the leap.

He looks completely gay without the helmet, but with? Kickass.

Uhhh... this was an MIT hack (prank) on Harvard. Harvard students didn't do it. In fact, the article that is linked to by this site says the same: "In honor of the release of Halo 3, pranksters from MIT dressed up the statue of John P. Harvard in Harvard Yard with an assault rifle and a Spartan Helmet!"
You guys read your articles before you riff on them?

#3: What did you eat for breakfast this morning? It can't have been brain food.
Man, I wish we played pranks in Australia, but pranking was outlawed in 1956 when a man filled a Kangaroo with a carton of beer....
