365 Tarot Spreads: Revealing the Magic in Each Day - Sasha Graham 2014

School Spread

On This Day

Just like Hogwarts, Harvard freshmen are sorted into houses. Each of the twelve Harvard houses has its own residence hall, gym, dining, and common areas. Freshmen can choose to be sorted with up to eight friends so they won’t end up with strangers.

Harvard University opened its hallowed doors on this day in 1636. The first institute of higher learning in the New World, by 1642 there were nine graduates and in other years, even less.
