DESCRIPTION:Carl Linneaus:  A 300-Year Legacy\, to honor the Swedish natura
 list known as the ‘Father of Taxonomy’.  While still a university stude
 nt\, Linnaeus invented a scientific system of classifying plants and animal
 s that took 18th century Europe by storm and ultimately revolutionized the 
 field of natural history.  The Linnaean classification system continues to 
 be taught in biology classrooms the world over and to be used by contempora
 ry scientists as they document and name new species. This small exhibit wil
 l trace the history of Linnaeus’ scientific accomplishments and offer ins
 ight into the personality and motivations of this deeply religious scholar 
 who set out on a mission to document the divine order and wisdom revealed i
 n the natural world.  Carl Linneaus: A 300-Year Legacy will showcase a vari
 ety of objects from Harvard University’s botanical collections including 
 selected plant and animal specimens named by and for Linnaeus\, an original
  letter penned in the naturalist’s own hand\, and rare early editions of 
 some of his renowned publications - Systema Naturae\, Flora Lapponica\, Hor
 tus Cliffortianus and Species Plantarum.  The Carl Linnaeus mini-exhibit wi
 ll be on display until May 23\, 2008.
