Harvard to begin preppy clothing line called “Harvard Yard”

<p>"The expensive line of clothes will benefit Harvard's undergraduate financial aid program." The hit on their endowment must be worse than we imagine.</p>

<p>Harvard</a> to begin preppy clothing line called “Harvard Yard” - Collegenews.</p>

<p>Harvard is a strong brand. The diffusion of a brand over a variety of products (beyond a degree) is a smart move.</p>

<p>I applaud this, but, if I were a Harvard student, I would probably be slightly embarrassed nonetheless.</p>

<p>Photos of what this line is supposed to offer have been linked to on previous threads. Assuming those photos are accurate, I am not sure how much profits are going to come in for the FA Program.</p>

<p>too kitsch.</p>

<p>XX55XX, i completely agree with you, great movement on Harvard’s part but, i’d be embarassed</p>

<p>if I went to Harvard, I would be very embarrassed, as they already enjoy a reputation as preppy.</p>

<p>This could not nearly have been one of Harvard’s best ideas for increasing their endowment. Maybe this will encourage to make more donations so the program is shut down?</p>
