Somebody ought to dig some dirt on John Harvard....
Ah, that is the rub, as put by the Bard. Once you open this can, it becomes unmanageable. Surely "William and Mary" (permitted slavery) should be renamed and next you find that even the place-named schools can be associated with something odious. After all the 'Battle of Princeton' should force that renaming (guns and death and Christmas!) The idiocracy potential is unlimited!
John Harvard died in his early thirties, of consumption. Perhaps “they” can make a case that he was swapping spit with the wrong types?
