    Do some of these men have cankles?! You can take a man to Harvard, but you can't take the cankles out of his legs, or whatever.
    I'm trying to say that I hate those sockless loafers. These hairless men are too young to be grandfathers!

    this can't actually be true. harvard's secret (as told to me personally by a physics prof who works there) is that they don't need to take a penny in tuition to stay afloat. endowments keep the doors open without any extra investment. i guess, true to form of the patrons, they are "not touching the principal"

    @SugitaAlcimede: You didn't read the link, did you? If we were just talking about the operating expenses of the University, that might have been true, but they've been spending up a storm on expansion. That plus operating expenses equals a huge cashflow problem.

    I'm not hating this all that much. Aside from the hideous sockless loafers, it's not nearly as offensive as the pretentious branding might suggest.
    #3's attire would come across better if he wasn't in that gal-on-the-go pose.

    No wonder Harvard is broke. Their style is totally wrong for real academics! Where is the "socks and sandals with old tweed blazer and old faded jeans" outfit, indicative of caring more about academics than fashion, and of being a cheapskate who's going to wear the overpriced "professional" clothes he bought when he graduated in 1985 and will wear till they fall apart totally? Or the "flipflops, sweatpants, and sparkly tank-top" look, which gives the illusion one is a fashion maverick, when really they just haven't done laundry in a month because they were too busy studying? What about the "flowy flowered skirt with flowy oversized linen blouse and vest", indicative of being a feminist, but also a cover-up for cankles and batwing arms?
    Real academics don't pay for fashion; they let fashion happen through disrepair, lack of washing, hand-me-downs, and a hatred of shopping malls. It doesn't take a Harvard grad to know this, people!

    As someone who lives in a neighborhood that is being "developed" by Harvard, I can tell you, they aren't anywhere near to being broke. They lost about 25% of their endowment which is still in the 20+ billion range. They have unbelievable amounts of property sitting empty on purpose (that they do not pay property taxes on) to drive down housing values, making it easier for them to develop those parcels however they want in the future. The cranes that are stilled are doing nothing but service for them- the longer they leave a giant hole in the ground (and the subsequent rat problem) the less likely the community groups will fight so hard for public parking, parks, and other amenities when they finally get going again, being happy that they're building anything instead of leaving us with blocks of construction fencing and a huge pit in the middle of the neighborhood. Meanwhile, other aspects of their plan are quietly moving forward with assistance from the mayor's office and BRA, including moving a huge apartment complex a half mile down the road. So, sorry for the OT rant, but Harvard can suck it.



    Also, if I see anyone walking in my neighborhood wearing these clothes, I will throw things at them. Probably rats.

    @slowpoke.r: Well, you're right that they've still got a lot of property, but they're not liquid, and they have ongoing expenses to service. However, I wouldn't cry for Harvard even if they really were poor; I kind of hate the place.

    @quickqueenof: Oh really? All my friends who rowed crew and competed for the swim team would beg to differ. As would my basketball-playing ex and the guys who lived through my fire door. And the ladies on the Crimson dance squad. And a certain brilliant musician I knew. Oh, and one of my roommates, who was a physics major and went on to get her PhD. Come to think of it, I actually knew a lot of good-looking people at Harvard. Being smart and attractive are not mutually exclusive.

    And yet one doubts that a man who would wear a Harvard fashion line is himself quite well-endowed. Ironic, no?

    Honestly, I think Harvard would put its name on my ass if I offered the space.
    If you're ever in the Harvard Square area stop by the Coop's apparel/cup/pen/flip flop/general crap shop (not the bookstore, the apparel annex or whatever its called.) Every last thing has the Harvard logo on it. EVERYTHING.

    Apparently they are all majors in Clashing Fashion. I guess Harvard doesn't teach you about the old plaid vs. stripes rule.
