English: Originally made in China during the Qing Dynasty, the "dragon turtle" (bixi) carrying a stele were given to Harvard University by the Harvard Club in Shanghai, on behalf of at least 35 Harvard alumni in China, in 1936, on the occasion of Harvard's 300th anniversary. The monument is locally known as the "Chinese Stele".
