Blue Hills is a reservation outside of Boston. Below is some information about it, taken from its official website, Blue Hills Reservation:
Located only minutes from the bustle of downtown Boston, the DCR Blue Hills Reservation stretches over 7,000 acres from Quincy to Dedham, Milton to Randolph, providing a green oasis in an urban environment. Rising above the horizon, Great Blue Hill reaches a height of 635 feet, the highest of the 22 hills in the Blue Hills chain. From the rocky summit visitors can see over the entire metropolitan area. With its scenic views, varied terrain and 125 miles of trails, the Blue Hills Reservation offers year-round enjoyment for the outdoor enthusiast.
It's quite a beautiful place, as Stanford learned. Here is a picture from one of the skyline trails:

In case anyone wonders (as I did), Centre College is located in Kentucky. Both Harvard and Centre had winning records that year. Here is some information about the school (as it is today) from Wikipedia:
Centre College is a private liberal arts college located in Danville, Kentucky, a community of approximately 16,000 in Boyle County, about 35 miles south of Lexington, Kentucky. Centre is an undergraduate four-year institution with an enrollment of approximately 1,375 students. Centre was founded by Presbyterian leaders, with whom it maintains a loose affiliation, and officially chartered by the Kentucky General Assembly in 1819. The college is a member of the Associated Colleges of the South.
