Question 1167: Rising from the ashes, getting into clubs

A statue of John X, sits in the institution named in his honour. Despite the name of the place, the statue does not depict his true likeness, as the sculptor had no accurate image to work from. The statue claims that it depicts John X Founder, 1638, but in reality X was a contributor, not the founder; the institution was founded in 1636; and the statue is actually a likeness of someone else. The sculptor used a student as a model.

The statue is located centrally in X Yard. Tour guides often tell visitors it is good luck to rub John X's left foot. There is, however, among the residents of the institution a longstanding tradition of urinating on the statue at night.

Identify X.


Eeeww, why is my hand smelling so funny now?


Answer: John Harvard it is.
