From the Boston Globe -
You don’t have to be wicked smaht to take this Hahvahd tour
By Lauren Feiner
Fresh out of college and newly in the workforce, I recently found myself doing the last thing I expected to do in my young professional life: taking a college tour.
But this tour of Harvard University was distinctly different from those I’d taken as a nervous high school student. There were no jittery teenagers or overeager parents, no chatter about SAT scores. This was Harvard, — or Hahvahd in the local vernacular — not as dream college, but as tourist attraction.
~~~~~~~~~~
The Hahvahd Tour, first developed by Harvard student Daniel Andrew in 2006, calls itself an unofficial tour of the university. While the tour now has a friendly relationship with the university — it conveniently ends at university-sponsored gift shops — it once clashed with the school over its use of the Harvard brand. Harvard actually received a trademark for the word “Hahvahd,” which it now licenses to the tour group, Andrew told me.
