A very special holiday gift for any Harvard grad!

This Rollerball pen was handcrafted from a Red oak tree (Quercus rubra) that still stands in Old Harvard Yard. Old Harvard Yard is home to many of the university's freshman dormitories and Massachusetts Hall, which was built in 1720 and thought to be one of the oldest academic buildings in the United States. In the bottom floors of Massachusetts Hall are the University President offices. Across the Yard stands the John Harvard Statue or "The Statue of Three Lies." This branch was removed January 2014 to ensure the health and beauty of the canopy in Old Harvard Yard. This pen was made by Cambridge Bowl Company.

Pen Specifications:  

• Quality rollerball refill
• Postable threaded end cap 
• Box and card explaining the history of the wood

Here's a unique chance to take part in a four-person all-levels class customizable to your ability and experience level(s). Recruit three of your yoga friends for this private 90-minute class with Certified Ashtanga Vinyassa Yoga Instructor Jen Chase.

The class includes breath work, posture, and adequate method to properly access the cleansing, revitalizing, balancing, and strengthening properties of Ashtanga yoga asana practice. The class can be held in the privacy of your home, a park (depending on weather), or the instructor's home and will be determined upon purchase.

Jen Chase is a long-term competitive distance runner who came to yoga while coping with an overtraining injury during a triple-crown of half marathons. After skeptically and almost accidentally entering her first Ashtanga yoga class while looking for crosstraining options, she was amazed with the rigor and precision of the practice as well as the immense satisfaction in her body and mind following the class. She completed her RYT-200 teacher training in 2012 and has since been teaching group and private classes in-studio, for sports teams, at workplaces, in parks, in private client residences, and for special events including weddings. Jen is also a poet, writer, editor, certified wilderness first responder, and scholar of Ayurveda and other healing arts practices.

“FOR ANYONE IN NEED OF A GREAT SCRIPT CONSULTANT, let me recommend my ‘secret weapon,’ Dolly Gordon, who has helped me on all my major films, including ‘An Officer and a Gentleman, ‘ ‘The Blue Lagoon,’ ‘Listen to Me,’ and ‘Thief of Hearts.’ Her roots were in film editing and she brings her skill of seeing the bones of a story to the analysis of a script. Need to speed up that first act? Need to deepen a character? Missing conflict? She knows the secrets to great writing...”

This bowl was handcrafted from a trimming of a Honey Locust tree (Gleditsia triacanthos) that grew in the Tercentenary Theatre at the heart of Harvard College. In FDR's tercentenary celebration address he said, "I am here as a son of Harvard who gladly returns to this spot where men have sought truth for three hundred years. The roots of Harvard are deep in the past." Every year the Tercentenary Theatre is transformed into the site of Harvard College commencement. In order to assure the health of the Theatre's Canopy, this trimming was removed in January 2015. 

This bowl was made by Cambridge Bowl Company.
