CAMBRIDGE – Last week, Harvard announced forthcoming changes to the University's nearly two centuries-old anthem, and not all of its students are pleased with the suggested amendments.
At a three-hour event last week hosted by Harvard's Task Force on Inclusion and Belonging, Government Professor Danielle S. Allen, the task force's co-chairman, informed students that there would be a competition held to replace the final line of "Fair Harvard," which currently includes a mention of the Puritans, a nod of acknowledgement to the founding sect of the University.
