 Four Generations of Oral Literary Studies at Harvard University
Harvard University is today internationally known and respected as a center for the collection and study of oral literature.
The study of oral literature had begun at Harvard as the personal preoccupation of one man, and as such it was one of the oldest foci of intellectual effort in the modern University.
Leaving aside the professorial personalities who have given their genius and energy to oral literary studies at Harvard, it is possible to describe the academic tradition which they have created as a tradition of successful research a series of basic discoveries, each discovery laying the ground for the next one.

 Schlesinger Library: Conclusion
Harvard and Radcliffe had begun to merge classrooms during Lurie’s four undergraduate years but, as explored in the first chapter of this thesis, officials from both schools rejected the theoretical implications that accompanied their structural move toward gender equality.
As My Harvard, My Yale was published in 1982, another "reflections" text appeared on bookshelves, Our Harvard, featuring the musings of "22 distinguished graduates." As perhaps what was implied from the exclusive "our" in the title, not one of those graduates is a woman.
No wonder Harvard does not boast its women’s history; women have most often succeeded in spite of the university, not because of it.

 BrothersJudd Blog: ANYONE THINK THEY'RE BETTER EDUCATED IN 2005 THAN IN 1855?
Until the 1860's, Harvard presidents were anointed by and answered to the university's Board of Overseers, a powerful group of political and religious establishment figures that included the governor of Massachusetts, along with other dignitaries appointed by the Legislature.
In the years leading up to this transition, the Harvard presidents fought against the tide of liberalism, limiting the number of disciplines that could be taught and, within those disciplines, maneuvering student choices toward rigidly designed classical studies.
In a long-gestating paradox, however, the very changes that freed Eliot to renovate Harvard with a more independent and egalitarian framework also did in Larry Summers by leaving Harvard presidents without an identifiable constituency or a body to which, in the end, he may be said to answer.
