關於哈佛大學的校訓在中國網際網路上盛傳已久。哈佛大學圖書館官方網站還真有人留言詢問：在哪裡可以看到傳說中的哈佛大學校訓？對此，哈佛大學圖書館給出的回答是：這些校訓都是假的，在哈佛牆上看不到所謂的校訓，並稱所謂校訓都是編造的。
Q：I've heard there is a list of proverbs/mottos/aphorisms/reprimands on the wall of a Harvard Library. Where can I see them?
問題：我聽說哈佛大學的某個圖書館牆上有一列校訓？去哪兒能看到？
A：This seems to be a rumor that is prevalent on the Internet, particularly in China. We have found no trace of any mottos on a Harvard library wall, and Professor Robert Darnton states unequivocally, "As the university librarian, I can attest that no such writings exist on any of the walls at Harvard's 73 libraries." (The Wall Street Journal, "A generation of Chinese students draws inspiration from a hoax about Harvard. " Nov 15th,2012)
回答：這個傳聞好像在網絡上流傳甚廣，特別是在中國。不過我們在哈佛大學圖書館的牆上沒有看到任何類似格言校訓類的標語，哈佛大學圖書館館長羅伯特·達恩頓教授非常明確的表示：「作為圖書館館長，我可以證明在哈佛的73所圖書館中的任何一個牆上都沒寫這些。」（說明出自《華爾街日報》2012年11月15日《中國學生從哈佛大學的一個騙局中找靈感》一文。）
