I wonder what John Adams would think of his alma mater?
No need to wonder; he told us:
"Posterity! You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good Use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it."
I believe this to be horse hockey. Snopes has no referents for any of the appropriate key words.
