Photograph of Harvard Memorial Church, as viewed through the trees standing in Harvard Yard. Harvard Yard stretches across the foreground and into the distance. A tree trunk stands along the left edge. Walkways are visible cutting through the quad; one stretches along the bottom edge. Trees dot Harvard Yard as it extends back. In the distance, at center, Harvard Memorial Church stands. It is mostly obscured by Harvard Yard's trees. It is viewed at an angle from the front. Columns are visible lining the church's porch. They are capped by a pediment. The church's steeple rises high above the trees at center.
