You mean Harvard started as a Christian denominational institution? I guess the Puritans were around then, and since I suppose all the leading citizens were Puritans that had to have an effect, but I didn’t know it was denominational. If you have some info on that, I’d love to see it. Interesting.

To me, though, the more interesting thing is that just a few decades ago Harvard was a politically conservative place, right? And now it seems a haven for PC fuzzy thinking. However, I’m not sure whether Harvard’s gotten skewed that way any more than other top universities.

Perhaps more concisely, I find it remarkable that in the entire history of Harvard, no prior president of the Harvard Law Review has ever left a a record of exactly NO published articles. Not even a footnote. No such president has ever NOT been invited to clerk for a Superior Court judge.
