While in Harvard Yard, I’ve overheard mothers and fathers proclaim to their 2-year old, 5-year old, 7-year old, 10-year old, 15-year old, “This is the best. This is the goal. If you work hard, THIS is where you go!” I’m paraphrasing of course, but ask any Harvard Freshman and they will tell you they hear it every day on their way to class.</p>
