	Harvard and The Dartmouth Man
		Harvard is the haven of the true, Dartmouth is the haven of the useful.
		Harvard's is the gospel of Matthew Arnold; Dartmouth's of Carlyle.
		At Harvard there is almost the variety of segregated interests that an English university with its colleges show; it is quite possible, indeed common, that the Harvard man's interest in the whole is secondary to his interest in some part of the world.

	Harvard Man (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Harvard Man is an interesting portrait of a film gone awry.
		He is a typical college student, the typical kind that dabbles in illegal substances, dates the daughter of a mafia boss, and sleeps with a professor on the side.
		Harvard Man changes into a dangerous game where each person is trying to outsmart the other.

		Patrick Foley was named as an assistant coach at Harvard by head coach Ted Donato this week.
		They will be under some pressure from fans and the university alike to improve, though Foley does not feel pressured at his new job.
		Harvard will look to be in the thick of the ECACHL race this season and perhaps even enjoy some Beanpot success that has eluded them, as they have not made the Finals since 1997-1998 and have not won since the winter of 1993.

	Modamag.com \| Harvard Man (Movie Review)
		"Harvard Man" is intended as entertainment, but the way Toback captures it, he drains the life out of the piece with his questionable camera placement, overactive cutting, and shameful casting.
		Loosely based on Toback’s real adventures during the swinging 60s, “Harvard Man” is gummed up with the inclusion of crime films staples like the mafia and undercover cops.
		But "Harvard Man" is just another go around for this filmmaker, who needs to move away from envelope-pushing and onto something more substantial quick.

		The hefty 51-year-old is counting on his frequent trips home since he moved to the United States in 1987, his history as a student activist and his many good works, building laboratories, getting donations for medical equipment and training doctors in the nation once known as Zaire.
		He says Africa's renaissance must be led by people like him and fellow Harvard alum Ellen Sirleaf Johnson, the new president of Liberia, not the gun-toting guerrillas and socialist ideologues who fought for the continent's liberation from colonizers and dictators.

	"Harvard Man" - Salon
		"Harvard Man" tells the story of a brainy Harvard philosophy major and basketball player named Alan (Adrian Grenier), who gets into trouble illegally raising money to buy a new house for his parents, whose old one was destroyed by a tornado.
		And that's the major trouble with "Harvard Man." Say what you want about Toback's movies: He doesn't care if people think he's a dirty dawg, which is exactly what has made his best pictures feel so honest and refreshing.
		"Harvard Man" does feature one fabulous effect: The tripping Alan watches in awe as the Gauguin poster that hangs in his dorm room comes to life, distracting him (understandably) from the serious conversation in which Chesney is trying to engage him.

		I had a month or two of quiet, but Harvard found me again and, I think to punish me for the added cost of airmail, began to solicit my grandmothers, who had no money but thought-as anyone with fading eyesight might-that the letters were invoices.
		About a year later, I received an unusual letter from Harvard: it was too thin to contain a postage-paid reply envelope and it was addressed "To The Family of Erik H. Gordon".
		Experience and Harvard have taught me that the only people who manage to amass billions of dollars are those who either persevere in the face of obstinacy or sell books at a loss over the internet, so I should have known that for Harvard my death would not prove an insurmountable obstacle.

		Harvard Man is a semi-throwback, a reminiscence without nostalgia or sentimentality.
		This was the film that got made, but "Harvard Man" gave me the impression that we're supposed to speculate about how this story would've unfolded had Alan (Adrian Grenier) not ingested all that LSD.

		Four women and four men competed for two awards—the Miss Harvard title, which was judged by four University administrators, and a Miss Congeniality distinction that the contestants voted on themselves.
		Though the eventual Miss Harvard winner was originally not one of the eight undergraduates IMPACT selected as contestants, Adams was asked to compete early last week after another contestant dropped out.

	DVD Talk Review: Harvard Man
		Harvard Man is the latest effort from writer/director James Toback (The Gambler, Two Girls and a Guy), who's made no secret of his drug-addled years at one of America's most respected institutions.
		Harvard Man didn't make much of a splash theatrically, but courtesy of Lion's Gate Home Entertainment, it may be able to find an audience on home video.
		Though I don't recommend Harvard Man with any great enthusiasm, fans of the cast and Toback's previous films may find this DVD to still be worth a rental.

	Harvard Man
		Loosely inspired by some of Toback's own extracurricular college activities (he graduated from Harvard in 1966), the picture follows the exploits of the Harvard man in question, Alan Jensen (Adrian Grenier), who certainly manages to cram a lot into his daily timetable.
		Of course, this being Toback, the man has considerably more on his mind than Heidegger and high-stakes gambling, though putting it all out there and shaping it into some kind of contained whole is something else again.
		Neatly doubling for Harvard proper, meanwhile, which prohibits on-site filming, is a quaint little city to the north known as Toronto.

	Harvard Man
		Checking the credit scroll at the end, I was sure Edward Scissorhands would be revealed as Harvard Man's editor, as I constantly felt like someone took the original camera negatives, closed their eyes and began chopping away at random.
		Adding insult to injury, a large portion of Harvard Man's plot is a retread of The Gambler's; both films have crucial plot points centered around a desperate character throwing a college basketball game in order to win money from gangsters and remove themselves from debt.
		Most of Harvard Man seems ADRed, which means lines of dialogue were re-recorded in a studio after filming was completed and then synced back up with their original scenes.

	The Harvard Salient -- 17 November 2006
		At the most, you can say that the reigning liberalism of the campus is being reinforced by admitting students who come in even more devoted to a left-wing point of view, such that you have a political spectrum that spreads from the left to the far-left.
		The truth of it is that this is a diverse country, yet that diversity is not reflected at Harvard.
		Harvard is missing, for example, the evangelical Christian point of view.

	Xiibaro Reviews: Harvard Man, Lovely & Amazing, and The Believer
		After a few years of defending Toback, it seems that he has finally decided that if critics are going to accuse him of making a certain kind of bad movie, he might as well make them.
		Harvard Man certainly tries to deal with something tangible, but Toback appears to feel cornered into a flurry of stylistic nightmares that kill the movie's possible chance for enlightenment.
		Probably in a gesture to his own college days, the script was crafted in an evening of caffeine and cigarette haze, a work ethic that can produce results to turn in directly before the deadline but lacking the personal care of an essay constantly drafted over a couple days.

	Harvard Man
		His latest, "Harvard Man" has everything you could ever want from a Toback movie: lurid sex, shocking excess and an out-of- nowhere thoughtfulness that's not put on; it's real.
		Grenier is a find, and "Harvard Man" should mark Gellar's entrance into full-fledged adulthood, as far as her castability is concerned.
		Yet the performer most worth noting is Adams, who would be an unlikely choice to play a philosophy professor, except that she seems to understand every word she says.

		No one screamed or walked out of the screening Friday night, which may mean that this provocative filmmaker may perhaps be gaining the acceptance that eluded him 25 years ago.

	"The Infinitude of the Private Man" - Harvard Magazine (May-June 2003)
		Emerson was unique among successful lyceum orators for his ability to hold an audience even when he was difficult or abstruse, and despite a low-key manner that depended almost wholly for special effects upon his memorable voice.
		The core vision of Emerson's 1838 address to the graduating class and faculty of Harvard Divinity School was quite similar, but its far more confrontational tone provoked a firestorm.
		That Emerson made religious reform his theme and proceeded to target the timidity and conformism of his own sect, and in its inner sanctum to boot, was especially galling.

	Harvard Man - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		Writer-director James Toback ("The Gambler," "Black and White"), a 1966 Harvard graduate, has carved a career out of independent films about smart masochists who can't resist the thrill of losing and of inviting physical harm.
		The central character in Toback's "Harvard Man" is a Harvard philosophy major, Alan (Adrian Grenier in a role intended for Leonardo DiCaprio), who seems to take just one course.
		"Harvard Man" is at once ambitious and frustrating, with cynical and downbeat subtexts, but it has at least the energy of a filmmaker with a compulsion to tell the story.
