Harbor Fund, on behalf of
     Harbor International Fund and
     Harbor Growth Fund
One SeaGate
Toledo, Ohio 43666

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         Harbor Fund (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware business trust
under a Declaration of Trust dated June 8, 1993, as amended from time to time
(as so amended, the "Declaration of Trust"). The beneficial interests thereunder
are represented by transferable shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value.

         The Trustees have the powers set forth in the Declaration of Trust,
subject to the terms, provisions and conditions therein provided.

         Pursuant to Article IV, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust, the
number of shares of beneficial interest authorized to be issued under the
Declaration of Trust is unlimited and the Trustees are authorized to divide the
shares into one or more series of shares and one or more classes thereof as they
deem necessary or desirable.

         Pursuant to Article IV, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust, the
Trustees are empowered, in their sole discretion and without shareholder
approval, to issue original or additional shares at such times and on such terms
and conditions as they deem appropriate.

         Pursuant to Article IV, Section 1 of the Declaration of Trust, the
Trustees have established fourteen separate series of the Trust, including the
"Harbor International Fund" and "Harbor Growth Fund".

         On June 13, 2002, the Trustees authorized the officers of the Trust to
(i) enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger between Harbor International Fund
and Harbor International Fund II (the "International Fund Agreement and Plan of
Merger"), and (ii) determine the appropriate number of shares of the Trust on
behalf OF Harbor International Fund to be registered, to register with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and to issue and sell to the public, such
shares.

         On July 29, 2002, the Trustees authorized the officers of the Trust to
(i) enter into and an Agreement and Plan of Merger between Harbor Small Cap
Growth Fund and Harbor Growth Fund (the "Growth Fund Agreement and Plan of
Merger") (the International Fund Agreement and Plan of Merger and Growth Fund
Agreement and Plan of Merger are referred to herein individually, as an
"Agreement and Plan of Merger", and collectively, as the "Agreements and Plans
of Merger"), and (ii) determine the appropriate number of shares of the Trust on
behalf of

Harbor Growth Fund to be registered, to register with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and to issue and sell to the public, such shares.

         We have examined the Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, each as amended
from time to time, of the Trust, a form of each Agreement and Plan of Merger,
resolutions of the Board of Trustees relating to the authorization of each
Agreement and Plan of Merger and the authorization and issuance of shares of
beneficial interest of the Trust, and such other documents as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion, including, but not
limited to, originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of such documents, Trust records and other instruments. In our
examination of the above documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and
the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as
certified of photostatic copies.

         Any reference to "our knowledge," to any matter "known to us," "coming
to our attention" or "of which we are aware" or any variation of any of the
foregoing shall mean the conscious awareness of the attorneys in this firm who
have rendered substantive attention to the Agreements and Plans of Merger and
the transactions contemplated thereby, of the existence or absence of any facts
which would contradict the opinions set forth below. We have not undertaken any
independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts,
and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts
should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Trust. Without
limiting the foregoing, we have not examined any dockets or records of any
court, administrative tribunal or other similar entity, or any electronic or
computer databases, in connection with our opinions expressed below.

         Our opinions below are qualified to the extent that they may be subject
to or affected by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or similar laws affecting the
rights and remedies of creditors generally, (ii) statutory or decisional law
concerning recourse by creditors to security in the absence of notice or hearing
and (iii) duties and standards imposed on creditors and parties to contracts,
including, without limitation, requirements of good faith, reasonableness and
fair dealing. Further, we do not express any opinion as to (i) the availability
of the remedy of specific performance or any other equitable remedy upon breach
of any provision of any agreement whether applied by a court of law or equity,
(ii) the successful assertion of any equitable defense, or (iii) the right of
any party to enforce the indemnification or contribution provisions of any
agreement.

         In rendering the opinion below, insofar as it relates to the good
standing and valid existence of the Trust, we have relied solely on a
certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, dated as of a
recent date, and is rendered as of the date of such certificate and is limited
accordingly. We express no opinion herein as to how the transactions
contemplated by the Agreements and Plans of Merger will be treated under
applicable accounting rules and principles, or as to the tax consequences of
such transactions under applicable federal, state and

local income tax laws and regulations. We express no opinion as to the tax good
standing of the Trust in any jurisdiction.

         For purposes of this opinion letter, we have not made an independent
review of the laws of any state or jurisdiction other than the Delaware Business
Trust Act of the State of Delaware and we express no opinion with respect to the
laws of any other jurisdiction or to any other laws of the State of Delaware.
Further, we express no opinion as to compliance with any state or federal
securities or Blue Sky laws, including the securities laws of the State of
Delaware. We express no opinion as to any state or federal antifraud laws or
compliance with any applicable fiduciary obligations of the Trust or the
Trustees or officers thereof

         Assuming satisfaction with all conditions set forth in the forms of
each Agreement and Plan of Merger and the valid execution and delivery of each
such by the parties thereto, we are of the opinion that all necessary Trust
action precedent to the issuance of the shares of beneficial interest of the
Trust on behalf of the Harbor International Fund and Harbor Growth Fund to be
issued pursuant to the Trust's Registration Statement on Form N-14 has been duly
taken, and that all such shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of
each Agreement and Plan of Merger, will be legally and validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable by the Trust, subject to compliance with the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the
applicable state laws regulating the sale of securities.

         We are opining only as to the specific legal issues expressly set forth
herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters. We are
opining on the date hereof as to the law in effect on the date hereof, and we
disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in any of these sources of
law or subsequent legal or factual developments which might affect any matters
or opinions set forth herein.

         This opinion is furnished to you solely for your use and may not be
quoted to or relied upon by any other person or entity or used for any other
purpose, without our prior written consent.

         We consent to your filing this opinion with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as an exhibit to the Trust's registration statement on Form N-14 and
any amendments to the registration statement. Except as provided in this
paragraph, this opinion may not be relied upon by, or filed with, any other
parties or for any other purpose.


                                                       Very truly yours,

                                                       /s/ Hale and Dorr LLP
