Cambridge Inset: Harvard University in The Sound and the Fury (Location)

The oldest university in the United States and the institution in which Quentin Compson matriculates because, as his father tells him, "for you to go to Harvard has been your mothers dream since you were born" (178). The section "June 2, 1910" begins there, when Quentin wakes up there in the dorm room he shares with Shreve, and ends there as well, when Quentin leaves the room for the last time.
